Q: lost loupe

I placed my loupe between images in the Browser and loupe dissapeared. Any ideas how to get it back?

I tried going to View > Show Loupe and Hide Loupe, but it can't be seen. I tried View > Loupe Options but nothing changes.

Tried clicking Loupe in the Toolbar, nothing. Tried dragging the Loupe in the Toolbar, nothing.

IMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

A:

A few things to try:

- set secondary monitor to "off"

- disconnect the second monitor

- toggle "use centered Loupe" on and off. Move your mouse cursor around the screen.

- try both Browser and Viewer

If none of those do anything, delete your Aperture prefs. Directions are on the Apple Aperture trouble-shooting page.

What version of Aperture (and OS X)?

Are you using multiple monitors?

Have you rebooted and relaunched Aperture?

Dummy, sorry I should have said that in my first post.

Aperture 3.3.2
265039000000000.3

OS X 10.8.1

Yes, using 2 monitors. Problem happened when secondary (monitor) viewer was set to Mirror showing 1 photo, and main viewer was displaying multiple photos from the album.

Yes, I've rebooted and relaunched Aperture several times. I've either restarted or had the computer off for several times since this first happened a couple days ago.

Just checked again with keyboard shortcut ` and the loupe is still missing.

Now would be a good time to update your profile (from "IMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.2)")

It's back! I disconnected the second monitor (actually a series of disconnecting each monitor because I keep forgetting which cord is for which) and the Loupe showed up again.

Will update profile. I'd let Apple track me to keep this updated automatically. hint.

Minor(ish) misbehavior with second monitors in not uncommon with Aperture.

Glad it's back the way it should be.

Apple doesn't listen to me, much less track me. You'll have to let them know directly if you want them to possibly listen. You might try here. I think it's an excellent idea.
