Zombie libraries and projects

I encountered a strange situation while using referenced masters, on a NAS (if that matters).
My Aperture libraries are on my MBP, while referenced masters are on a NAS. Library A consists of some projects that are mapping to folders on the NAS, and Library B refers to some others.
One day, suddenly all projects in Library B lost connections to their masters (170+ projects and 28,000+ photos all with the red badges, Aperture showed the NAS volume as Offline), and I could not reconnect them (the NAS volume was not shown in the lower part of the reconnect page for selection). I tried several times to revive the zombi library and its projects. For just one time it worked and all photos were back to life, but became zombies again the next time. At times it seemed they were back with the normal badges, but actually not because I could not adjust or relocate any of the photos. I rebuilt the library several times but that did not help. I could import new projects from the same NAS again into the library and they worked well, but the zombies were just dead forever. For the working projects, Aperture showed the volume as Online, but for the zombie projects, it showed the same volume as Offline. I tried export and import the zombie projects, but they were still zombies no matter where they go. At the same time, Finder was happy to see the volume and all its files without any problem.
I gave up and created a new library C, spending days to import all 170+ projects again from the NAS as referenced masters. I got a functioning library and could happily work on it for several days, until one day suddenly all projects and versions became zombies again. Library C became Library B.
On the contrary, I have a good lasting Library A (700+ projects and 150,000+ photos) that works. It was created before library B, referencing to the same NAS volume but different selection of folders. On one day, though, one of the projects suddenly showed all red badges for the versions, too, but luckily just that project. Aperture showed the volume of the troubled photos was Offline, but it said it was Online for all other photos in other projects. I could not revive that project, so I deleted it and re-imported from the NAS again to build an exact same new project, and it has been working with all others ever since.
I still have no clues about what went wrong to Library B and C (and that single project in Library A). For me they are just like Library A but referring to different set of masters on the same NAS. Under what condition would Aperture consider the same Volume as Offline for some of the versions while Online for others, at the same time and in the same Library? And it's strange that when I work on Library A, Aperture sees the NAS volume as Online, but when I switch to Library B, it sees it as Offline immediately. I am afraid that one day my Library A would unexpectedly become zombie, too, then all my Aperture work will be history.
Has anybody encountered the same situation as mine? Hope I could get some advices here.

I see that now. Though it still could be an issue.
If you could distill your problem down to a short paragraph it might be easier to figure out whats going on.

Deploying libraries and projects...

Hello All
We have problem trying to make a distribution on a compiled library.
The application that we had consist of many projects. We separate the
service objects and the objects in different projects, because we need to
reference a service object from another and develop a three tier application
so we had to divide like this form :
Project Service Object 1
Project Object 1
Project Service Object 2
Project Object2
where Object1 makes a call to Service Object 2.
The problem is that we want to deliver the application and compile the
project that contains objects in order to don´t give the source code, so
someone told us that we have to separate the service objects from objects in
order to compile the projects that contain the objects as libraries and let
the services objects in another projects without compile.
So the previous schema finally seems like this :
Project Service Object 1
Library Object 1
Project Service Object 2
Library Object 2
To compile this, the manual told to compile in order so We start with :
Project Object 2 -> Configure As Library -> check compile -> generate
.lgf -> run fcompile and get .dll. (OK)
Project Object 1 -> Configure As Library -> check compile -> generate
.lgf -> run fcompile (ERROR)
the error
said that there was not .lib.
That was
strange because generating Object2
fcompile
generates .bom, .lib and finally .dll. (??)
Please if someone out there know something please told us....
Probably a library can´t have a supplier project with service object in
it...
Thanks For Help

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the answer. I couldn't follow how the custom Manifest file will help in our case. Could you please provide some more details?
My problem is I don't know in which order I need to compile the projects. I can do this manually but I am looking for a solution that will do this automatically.
As the project grows it will be too hard to decide the order manually.
Thanks

Where are my libraries and projects ? update of Maverick in cause ??...

Tonight all I have is problems with Final Cut Pro X... I read many similar things in the last few hours, and start to wonder if this could be the last OS X update in cause ??... Everything was fine 3 days ago...
- As per my other post (few minutes ago) : unable to share to master file or any other format. Compressor fail as well..
- Now, trying to solve problem, I lost view of all my projects. Last project I was almost over with : all I se now is just the audio track !!... (Ok this one could be just something I touched... how should I get the entire project back ??...)à
- I've rebooted the Macbook Pro, re-opened FCP, then now it looks freezed for last 15 minutes trying to ''load events'', with a progress bar greyed out.
I just hop eI have not lost all my projects...
FCP is a nightmare tonight...

Need more information to begin to help.
What version of FCP X do you have installed? Did you recently update from an earlier version?
Are your projects and media on your boot drive?

Really confused about libraries, events, and projects

Hello,
I'm brand new to editing and I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between libraries, events and projects. If anyone can explain them for me, that'd be great. Thanks

Here some reading material:
http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/Media_Management.pdf
Final Cut Pro X 10.1.2: Updating and working with libraries FAQ - Apple Support
http://www.larryjordan.biz/fcp-x-10-1-manage-projects/
http://www.fcpxbook.com/updates/101/
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/fcp_x_first_look_10_1_martin.html
And viewing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGogEwnX9yE
Hopefully, the above info will clarify everything about the library/event/project hierarchy. The important thing to keep in mind is you can't work without a library; and that library has to hold at least one event. Your event is a folder that organizes your media according to a wide variety of criteria that you can specify. Your project contains the timeline where you assemble your selects, apply your effects to tell your story and it is stored within the event folder.
You will be happy to hear that those who come to FCP X without much traditional NLE experience (sorry, David) usually pick it up very fast. A guy that I work with didn't even have any iMovie experience and after less than 2 hours of DIY learning, cut a very credible show that aired on a local station.
Good luck.

JDeveloper project libraries and Maven dependencies

hi
Using the Apache Trinidad Maven JDev Plugin, I am wondering how JDeveloper project libraries and Maven dependencies are supposed to be related (or "matched", or "kept in sync", or "work together", or ...).
With the Maven settings.xml configured like this ...
<settings>

<localRepository>C:\my-maven-repository</localRepository>

</settings>... I tried this ...
C:\projects>mvn -v
Maven version: 2.0.9

          <value v="junit:junit:jar:3.8.1" n="id"/>
        </hash>
      </list>
      Notice the path for the JAR file in my specific Maven repository, to be relative to my specific project location.
questions:
(1) This seems to severely limit the options to share such a JDeveloper project file between developers in a team (e.g. using Subversion), because they would need their Maven repository and their JDeveloper project to be in the same (relative) location. Is this intended? Are there any options to work around these limitations?
(2) If a project evolves, and additional libraries need to be configured in a JDeveloper project, what would be the preferred approach to keep these in sync with Maven dependency configurations?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Hi Jan,
Yes, some of the current approach is not ideal.
+"Maven's primary goal is to allow a developer to comprehend the complete state of a development effort in the shortest period of time."+ - By having the pom.xml define for the project, I get the ability to run site goals, junit tests and other maven reports - get a feel for the project state. Even with a very basic pom.xml file containing the groupId, ArtifactId, version, SVN repository definition and the release plugin you gain the ability to use "mvn release:clean release:prepare" to help with tagging the source in SVN. These represent progress as up to this point the team has not had access to this.
+"Making the build process easy".+ - The approach does make the build part easier for JDeveloper 10.1.2. As a maven build, it is now possible to check the project into SVN and have it built by Bamboo, without having to include an installation of JDeveloper 10.1.2 (for library access) on the CI server.
+"If I understand correctly, in your approach, you are trying to keep both pom.xml and JDeveloper project files up-to-date manually?"+ - The only reason for keeping the JPR in sync with the pom.xml file is to allow the developers to still make use of features such as selecting run from the right click menu. At present, I am still slowly getting up to speed on how JDeveloper works and interacts with OC4J. Ultimately, you would want a maven plugin that will deploy the packaged WAR or EAR to the OC4J stand-alone or remote instance. This plugin would probably wrap the commands that the IDE uses, e.g.
If you right click on the deployment profile for a project (JDeveloper 10.1.2) and select the Platform > Standalone OC4J options, you find:
Deploying Ear+
${java} ${jvm.max.heap.size} -jar ${admin.jar}
${oc4j.url} ${username} ${password}
-deploy -file ${ear.file}
-deploymentName ${j2ee.app.name}
Binding Web Apps+
${java} -jar ${admin.jar}
${oc4j.url} ${username} ${password}
-bindWebApp ${j2ee.app.name} ${j2ee.web.app.name}
${oc4j.web.site} ${j2ee.context.root}
And for Platform > OracleAS Remote DCM:
${java} -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=HTTPClient
-jar ${Oc4jDcmClient.jar}
${dcm.servlet.url} ${username} ${password}
redeploy ${remote.oracle.home}
${ear.file} ${j2ee.app.name} ${oc4j.instance.name}
With a maven plugin- wrapping the deployment (possible even to the embedded OC4J) you could then look at get away without maintaining the libraries in the JPR. The JPR the becomes the configuration file for the IDE interaction only without affecting the build. For debugging, you can deploy to a standalone instance and start it using:
java -server -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=4000 -jar oc4j.jar
Then connect to the port specified. The primary project I was working on was developed in Netbeans and deployed to SJSAS. I have since switch this project to working with JDeveloper 11.1.1 as the IDE and doing remote debugging from the IDE connecting to the SJSAS debug port.
Note, that the maven plugin development for the managing of these aspects should be easier with JDeveloper 11.1.1 and the integrated WLS.
Have you used this approach in a project that uses ADF Business Components? - Yes, I have used it on one of the smaller ADF projects that had already been produced by the team. This project has all the maven features and ability to deploy to the remotes AS via ant scripts. The approach worked in both the dev and test environments. However, for final deployment, I still used the deployment profile to be consistent with the rest of the team.
Regards,
Graeme.

Projects and Project Libraries

I've been happily using Projects since they were introduced in LabVIEW 8-something.
I've got a Project whose task involves examining directory trees containing other VIs. In some cases, the VIs my code examines have the same name as one of the VIs being used in the code (I'm running in Development Mode, not from an executable). To avoid "name clashes", I did a search on NameSpaces and learned about Project Libraries.
So I've successfully ported all of the files in my Project into a similarly-named Project Library. The code works just fine.
Today, I opened my Project to look at one of my VIs, and to my horror, the Project had none of the files showing. It also didn't show the Project Library (where I "knew" all the files were located). A tad worried, I looked on my disk, and found the Project Library (.lvlib) file -- if I double-click it, there are my files!
What I'm having trouble doing (maybe because it is impossible!) is getting a view "inside" my Project Library from the Project Explorer. Given the close relationship between Projects and Project Libraries (the second is created from the first, for example), I would have expected to see such a link. Does it exist? Or are you expected to open both a Project (which, in my case, has files that are not in the Project Library) and the corresponding Project Library?
Note I did a search through the NI Documentation on Project Libraries, and what I read emphasized the close relationship between a Project and an associated Project Library, including giving them the same (or similar) name and keeping the files in the same folders. [Hmm -- I just realized I did not name my Project and Library identically -- I called the Project "Project XYZ", and the Project Library "Library XYZ" ...].
Experience "from the field" would be most welcome!

Would you mind posting your project so someone could take a look at it?
Dear Handy,
     Humble Pie time (again!). When I saw your request, I said (to myself, silently) "Just how dumb do they think I am?". So this morning, I brought back an earlier pre-Library version of my Project, captures some screen shots of "Before", and started to (re-)create my Library. I couldn't remember exactly how I did it before, so I followed the steps in the LabVIEW 2011 Manual. I did a "New, Library" from My Computer in the Project, and dragged stuff into it. This time, I noticed there was a lot of "saving VIs" that I didn't recall from my earlier (first) Project Library. When I was done, there, in Project, right where I was expecting to see it (but wasn't!) was my Project Library!
     So what did I "do wrong" before that caused the Library to "disappear" from the Project? Who knows, but I clearly did something (mysterious) incorrectly -- I'll try not to do whatever-it-was again!
     Onward and upward (or maybe onward and downward, since Austin, home of NI Week, is south from here ...).

Enhancement Request in Project Libraries and Classpath dialog

Hello,
in the Libraries and Classpath section of the Project Properties we can move up/down single classpath entries only. Adding some libraries and ordering them is pretty much work.
Please allow moving multiple selected entries (this was possible in 904).
From our point of view libraries should be added at the beginning of the list. Most times we add user defined libraries that we want in the beginning of the classpath.

Completely confused by Final Cut x Libraries, Events and Projects???

Hi,
I realise there are lots of different explanations about this topic but still, none of them make sense to me in that, no-one seems to eb able to properly explain the differences between these things and when I follow the guidelines I can never seem to find the video I was working on.
First of all, I have absolutely no idea what 'Libraries' are in Final Cut X
I have used FC7 but forgot everything because X is so different, so I am basically a complete beginner.
When I start a completely new video from scratch I go file>new event> and title it 'whatever footage' for example. I then import all of my footage from that day.
Within that 'Event' I go file>new>project and called it 'whatever' music video, for example.
That way, my 'event' is the whole collection of footage. My 1st project is a music video using that footage and then I have the freedom to create new 'projects' like 'behind the scenes' etc. from said footage.
Yet, whenever Ive done this and come back to FCX I can never ever find my original video timeline with all my editing. Events seem to be a mixture of everything ive ever imported and projects are nowhere to be seen.
Due to the lack of being able to just simply save a project, there doesn't seem to be a concise list of past projects anywhere to choose from?
Can someone please tell me what Im doing wrong or their standard order of workflow? And what the difference between each of the above items are?
Libraries, Events, projects - totally confused!???
many thanks and please pardon my ignorance, just very frustrated by this.
Ash

I can show you an example of a standard workflow.
Lets say I am booked to edit 3 Movies for a client. A Music Clip, an Interview, a behind the scenes clip.
Lets say worst case you get everything in a single folder.
First thing I do is creating a library in FCPX where all the footage (also future generated media, Logos, Photos) will go in.
Now you can create three different events in the browser for each video you are going to edit.
Start ingesting your footage to the different events. (You will see the option in the second window after you’ve selected the clips to import.)
Now you have your library where everything has been imported to but also three events with assigned material.
Selections from the library.
If you want to start with the interview click on the appropriate event, create a project (which will be your timeline) and start editing.
Duplicate your project to keep backups and alternative edits.
Same thing for the Music Clip. Import your Audio, Animations, Graphics to the event. Create projects and save versions.
The next thing you should do is creating keywordcollections in your events to keep your material in order. These are like bins in FCP7
but much more powerful. For example you can add the same clip to several keywordcollections.
The internet should be full of examples by now. I won’t go further.
Now you start with the behind the scenes and at one point you want add Footage from the other events to your behind the scenes event.
Choose the clips you want to use and drag them (holding alt) to your event. You may have created a keywordcollection named footage for behind the scenes e.g. while keywording for the other two videos. This keywordcollection will be imported to the third event.
The clips will not be duplicated on your harddrive since they are in the same library. Events are selections from the library just the same as keywordcollections are selections from an event and a project (the timeline) has selections from keywordcollections.
Its up to you and your “job” how fine you want to organize your material. I would always suggest to create a library for every new job coming in.
Or at least for every new client. For bigger projects you want to create events for each day or even libraries for each day.
There is much, much more to say about libraries e.g. that you can leave your files where there are, letting the library refer to them.
Its a great concept and you are able to manage your material in FCPX like in no other NLE.
Watch tutorials on youtube or buy some from licensed trainers like ripple training for constant quality.
Good luck

Multiple iPhoto Libraries and iDVD

I am using iPhoto (v.6.0.5) that allows for multiple libaries but iDVD (v.6) only accesses the orignial library. Is there an easy way to have iDVD locate my other iPhoto libraries without having to rename the libaries each time?
Thanks for your help!

Jerry:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. John's suggestion about drag and drop to the slide bin is how I do my iDVD slideshow. You can use iPhoto Library Manager to manage your libraries but iDVD will have to be restarted whenever you change libraries. But, iPLM (the paid version for 20 or more photos) will let you copy albums or rolls between libraries and that would let you create a new library just for the iDVD project and move the necessary photos quickly and easily to the special library.
Do you Twango?

If i move my iphoto & iMovie source library / Events and Projects to an external hard disk, due to size, will my existing slideshows work ?

I need to move my photo library and Movies (Events and Projects) to an external hard disk as my 700gb drive on my iMac is now full (*see note below)
I have brought 2 Samsung External drives (3TB each) which I plan to partition each for Photos and Movies i.e 2 partitions on each drive, and will use one for use with iPhoto and iMovie, and the other drive for a dedicated backup. I will backup the remainder of my iMac hardisk to a seperate disk.
What has just occured to me is that after I have moved the libraries I cannot see how existing iMovie projects and iPhoto Slideshows will work, as each Application will be looking for the source files on the original iMac hardisc (I assume).
I am running Snow Leopard v10.6.8 ( I did not want to upgrade to Mountain Lion as I was told the iPhoto and iMovie changes were a 'backward' step. However I now want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, for security updates reasons mainly, and so need to free up my hard drive.
Can anyone advise on the best way to proceed ?
* - the iMac hard disk become full very suddenly, possibly due to duplicates, as I have noticed duplicate events and clips in my iMovies event library. I have noticed that some events are also now not showing, with message 'No video clips match the current selection' (I have not search criteria set).
Thanks

I was planning on manually backing up my external to the time capsule - but is there a way to set it up to back up automatically instead?
Time Machine will backup up automatically - you can not have your iPhoto library on the same volume as the TM backup (it will not work and it would not be a backup)
Dragging the iPhoto library to any external drive will backup it us also
I was also thinking about having the library copied to another external (I mean we're talking about irreplaceable photos here) - would i just drag a copy of the library to that drive as well?
Yes - that is a good idea - I run TM giving me hourly backups and a daily clone of my entire system giving me a bootable backup - plus do an occasional TM backup at our second home so I have one off site
is it possible to deal with my imovie library in the same way? so all my movies and photos are on my external?
Probably - but I use iMovie very little - better question for the iMovie forum

After creating the workspace and project, I created another simple workspace with two JSP, on linked to the other. When trying to run this project get the following:

All the projects in the other workspace compile fine. The prolblem is that now I am not able to use the internal OC4J. I remove the workspace with the five projects, and the JARs and the two page app will not run.
The OC4J is running when launched from the IDE, ti just can find the pages.
New install of JDEV and the two page app will run fine. Add two user two user libraries and the app will not run.
Thank you,
Ben Carter

Do you have a database connection to postgress defined in JDeveloper?
JDev might be picking this up and trying to add a datasource for it to the embedded OC4J - so try removing it, or alternatively add the postgress JDBC driver jar files to the libraries node under tools->embedded OC4J preferences.

Multiple open libraries and combining libraries

It would be nice to have two open libraries and be able to drag between them.
I am picking a small number of images to take with me when I travel. I want to create a new aperture library with these images in the same organization that they are in my original library with all the adjustments and all metadata, as in the original library
I'll be adding photos to this traveling library and will want to combine it in future with the original library including all metadata and corrections made while traveling.
what is the best way to:
1. isolate my small group for a traveling library, if they are in different projects, and make a new library with them?
2. Combine original and traveling libraries on return.

This is pretty simple to do. You can export and import entire projects very easily, and everything in that project (photos, albums, books, metadata, adjustments, etc.) goes with it.
So that's what you should do. You can't do it on a full library basis but because a project can be huge you could effectively get by with the tool. I do it all the time when I travel, and it works fantastically well.

Some Aperture photos and projects missing from iLife Media Browser

Good evening - having a little bit of trouble getting Aperture to work smoothly with my iLife media browser (i.e., inserting photos into Mail, Pages, Keynote, etc).
I currently have 5699 photos and 131 projects in Aperture. But the iLife Media Browser only shows me 5131 photos and 130 projects; when clicking on individual projects in the browser, anywhere from 3 to 70 photos per project are missing. Tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and rebuilding the database - this improved the issue, but didn't completely resolve it as 5679 photos now show in the Media Browser, and 20 remain missing. Also tried deleting, and generating previews for all my photos in the library. No change.
My library is mostly referenced, with a few photos managed.
Obviously in the grand scheme of things 20 photos missing in the Media Browser not that big a deal. But wanting to get to the root cause though because without solving this issue, I'm concerned about a larger underlying problem that may only get worse as my library grows.
Has anyone had, or resolved a problem similar to this? And can anyone offer any additional suggestions? Are there any specific files that feed the iLife Media Browser that I can delete and rebuild that may solve this issue?
thanks,
Mark

I think I've ironed this out. Several intertwined issues. I took a moment to type out my notes; hopefully it helps you guys solve this quickly if you get a call from someone else on this down the line.
[1] original problem of several hundred items missing in Media Browser: probably an issue of previews not being built. Mostly fixed when I regenerated previews for my library, but repairing permissions and repairing the database may have helped too.
[2] Residual problem of 20 items still missing (5698 items displayed in Aperture when selecting Inspector > Library > Photos; 5677 items displayed in Mail Photo Browser). My issue wasn't as much with 20 missing items in a browser as it was with trying to understand the root cause and whether I had an underlying Aperture, Aperture Library, or OS problem that would bite me later. Turns out several things were causing this problem:
[2a] In Aperture, when you select Inspector > Library > Photos , all your content is displayed: photos, videos, and any audio clips you may have imported (e.g., a recorded audio clip on your camera narrating shoot, location, client, exposure value etc). So even though you've selected "Photos", your "xxx items displayed" count on the bottom of the screen reflects all your imported content. This is not the case in the Media Browser - of which there are two variants in Mac OS:
[2a.1] Mail has a Photo Browser, which behaves much like a "Media Browser Lite: the title bar says "Photo Browser", it only accesses your Aperture and iPhoto Libraries, and only shows photos and video.
[2a.2] iWork applications have a more comprehensive Media Browser, where you can select between Audio, Photos, and Movies. If you select Audio the iWork Media Browser will show any audio files present in your Aperture or iTunes library. If you select Movies, the iWork Media Browser will show any movie clips present in your Aperture or iMovie libraries. Photos behaves the same way as "Photo Browser" in Mail, showing any photos present in your Aperture (or iPhoto if installed) libraries.
Turns out I had three audio clips in my Aperture library. When selecting "Photos" in either the Mail or iWork browsers, the total item count will only show photos and videos - no audio clips. So now 17 missing items remain.
[2b] Stacks - one project contained nine photos grouped into a stack. Only the key photo of a stack is previewed/shown in Media Browser. So a stack of nine photos will only show as one in the browser - unstacking the photo will allow them all to appear. So now nine missing items.
[2c] Seven photographs somehow had broken links to their referenced masters, and needed to be reconnected. Down to two missing items.
[2d] One photo simply wouldn't cooperate - no matter how many times I regenerated the preview, or deleted the preview and then regenerated it, nothing worked. I deleted it from the library and reimported it. One missing item remains.
[2e] Final missing item was a photograph I rejected. Makes sense; as media browser does not display rejects.
Problem solved!! Hopefully this might be of help to somebody in the future.
cheers,
Mark

Why is aperture not importing merged libraries as projects

Hi Everyone:
I'm trying to move a large library of RAW files to another library on the same machine. I tried exporting the whole library but there were a lot of corrupted files (or at least they had the yellow triangles on them), and when I selected all and asked it to locate referenced files, it said there were none, even though it had over 1000.
So I decided to export/import piecemeal and do it project by project. So what I've been doing is exporting a project as a library, switching libraries, and selecting a project to import to and then clicking import. At first it was working well and importing everything as separate projects, but today I must be doing something wrong or missing a step.
It is now importing the library and dumping it loose in the photos section, and I have to go picking through the photos to find the ones I imported and put them into projects. This is going to get increasingly more difficult and I really need help... I've been at this now for two days and need to get back out taking pictures...
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi everyone:
Just to add, I already followed these steps and it didn't work...
To merge a project or Aperture library into a project
Control-click a project, then choose Import > Library/Project from the shortcut menu.
In the dialog that appears, select the project or library that you want to merge into the project selected in Projects view, then click Import.
The project or library is merged into the project selected in Projects view. For more information about merging libraries, see Merging Libraries.
