Aperture won't export : Retina MacBook Pro

I've been struggling with getting all sorts of basic stuff to work on my supposedly top spec 15" Retina MacBook Pro, the latest is that it can't seem to export from  Aperture.  Finder really slow, attaching files to emails takes ages to open etc - so wondering if it is part of this problem.
Has anyone else experienced this.  Obviously being a Pro App I'm going to be charged handsomly to talk to anyone at apple.
Occasionally it can export a single image at a time, the export folder location takes ages to open.  Select multiple images and select "Exprt Versions" and absolutely nothing happens.  Export originals, and it crashes Aperture. I'm begining to wonder just how far you can throw a MacBook Pro.
It really is the most disapointing Mac I have ever bought, lovely display, but if the computer behind it doesn't function its all a little pointless.
Done the usual reboot, disk permissions etc.
Thanks for any pointers
Stephen

Stephen,
It is new (ish, about 90 days, and covered by Applecare) but calling Apple help - as I have previously - as soon as you mention it is Aperture they want to charge money - a lot of it and with no guarantee of results - to talk about any issues as it is a Pro App - pity it doesn't behave like one!
Finder really slow, attaching files to emails takes ages to open etc - so wondering if it is part of this problem.
I'd really let the Apple Store sort out the system and hardware issues, as long as your Applecare lasts.
Make a backup of your system, best a bootable clone on an external drive (so you can easily revert back to your current state, or run your apps  by booting into the clone) and reinstall the system without any third party apps and without Aperture, only the basic set of applications.
Then test your mail and Finder, and if issues remain, go back to AppleCare and present them with the proof, that it is the hardware and not the software.
You may find, that it is not Aperture at all, that is causing the problem, but an incompatible plug-in, kernel extension, "helper" applications, duplicate fonts, problems in the Aperture library inherited from iPhoto, incompatible videos in the Aperture library, an unsuitable drive hosting your Aperture Library. Where is the library located, btw? On an external or internal drive?

  • Exporting an ePub from pages on a retina MacBook Pro the size is 10x that of the same export on a MacBook Air. Why?

    I am exporting an ePub from a 57.6 MB pages file on my retina MacBook pro and the exported epub is 982.9 MB in size. Exporting the exact same file from Pages on my MacBook Air give me a 97.8 MB ePub file.
    Both machines run OSX 10.8.4 and Pages 4.3. And the Pages file resides in my Dropbox.
    What is going on here?

    Also ask in the forum for Pages perhaps:

  • OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep.

    Since upgrade to OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep. Tablet lights are on in morning and fans running like crazy, but it requires hard quit and start. Tried with no apps running, no change. It was fine before this last update. Wasn't the recent firmware update supposed to fix this issue? It seems to have started one for me.

    I have the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro OS 10.8.4. What happens is: I work on the train, press cmd/alt + eject to put to sleep..pop it in my bag...get home or office... open the lid...and nothing! Battery indicator shows I have plenty of juice but it will not wake up no matter what key I press.
    The only difference between use on the train and home/office is the plugging in of peripherals and mains power. It happens sparadicially, perhaps once or twice a week and I always send a 'panic report', so somewhere there will be approx 20 reports of this fault at Apple.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro.

    Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro. Any help? Thanks!

    I'm surprised that Apple would attempt such a "hack" design...  Switching graphics adapters mid-stream is no small task, and I can't imagine that they could ever make it work seamlessly.
    Keep in mind that the nature of the complex GPU beast is that graphics hardware doesn't all work the same (or right) and application software has to make decisions about what to do and what not to do, and even when to invoke certain workarounds - or it would never be possible to run on multiple platforms. 
    Yes, that seems wrong, but it's necessary and it makes developing cutting-edge graphics applications in the real world much more expensive.
    The decisions aren't re-made by an application all the time - that would slow things down terribly.  Instead, often the run-time environment is characterized at application startup and the features remembered for later use.  Modern applications actually even create programs (e.g., shaders or OpenCL programs) to run on specific GPU hardware, and they have to be compiled - something usually done by the application at startup.
    Now imagine that someone changes the capabilities of the graphics hardware completely after the application has started - even from one vendor's implementation to another (Intel to nVidia).
    Like I said, I'm surprised a reasonable system designer could ever think that swapping GPUs at run-time could be made to work.  At least Apple allows you to turn it off!
    Does Apple offer any "geek-level" configuration options that can force the use of a particular GPU for a given application?  It seems that this could be an automated workaround that would allow a given application to see only one GPU, which is what Photoshop appears to need here.

  • Yosemite is messing with my new Retina Macbook Pro's sound output, help.

    I just got my new Retina Macbook Pro 2 months ago and have been noticing some audio output issues. When I try to connect an external third-party audio device to run my KRK monitors my computer does not recognize the device and will not switch the audio output. After trying to set it manually my macbook won't even revert to the internal speakers for output and then I have to reboot my pro in order to get audio output again. This will happen randomly throughout the day after my computer has been in sleep as well, and sometimes the volume buttons get greyed out as well. Please help me with this issue as this is a new computer and it is becoming a nuisance. Even when connecting through HDMI, my audio output does not function and no sound will come out of the TV. I realize that this is probably a Yosemite glitch, but I just need to know if there is any fixes for this issue. Thanks so much for your time,

  • Heat and Fan on Retina MacBook Pro

    Hi Guys,
    This is my first post in the forums and I just wanted some advice on an issue. I know there are existing discussions - but I've read conflicting answers in each. I'd like to know if the fan and heat I'm experience on my brand new 15 inch mid-2014 Retina MacBook Pro is normal.
    I use Adobe Premiere Pro CC to edit 1080p video for a YouTube channel. I've noticed that after I begin exporting the fans kick in within seconds and the heat jumps up substantially. Idle, the temperature I've measured with SMC fan control is roughly 35-40 degrees, but within a minute of exporting - this jumps up to around 98/99 degrees. I understand that the fans would start after a certain amount of time and that the temperature would rise. But is it normal to rise to 99 degrees????
    I've not noticed this with games, but just when exporting.
    Thanks for any help.

    That screen shot is very helpful. You have a four core CPU and each core can handle two threads so the %CPU can be over 100%. In your case, it's over 700% total usage with 800% being all there is available, so your rMBP is working very hard indeed. While I start cranking up the fan speed using smcFanControl just as you are, there's just so much the fans can do given that load. And we don't know how hard the graphics coprocessor is working, and that just adds more heat. I suspect the lower temperature may be because the intake ports may have been partially blocked on your lap; it really doesn't take much given their location. It looks like your laptop is doing the best it can.
    There's a reason why five large fans were used in the Mac Pro towers (not counting the graphics card fan).

  • Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro - ODD SEVERE POWER ISSUE?

    My late 2013 retina macbook pro 13" was on safari (on battery, not plugged in) and then the screen went black. The screen went back on, then back to black, then back on, then the Macbook shut off completely.
    Then, it tried rebooting twice, both failing to get past a gray screen and startup tone / chime before turning off for good. Now it won't turn on besides you seeing a gray screen and barely hearing the chime before it turning straight off again.
    Any suggestions would be great! I have important files that are for a deadline within a couple days!

    Try resetting the SMC. If that doesn't work, take it to the Genius Bar. You're under warranty.
    You want the section "for a battery you should not remove yourself".

  • Mac OSX Lion on a Retina MacBook Pro (2014)

    Hi,
    I need to install Mac OSX Lion on a Retina MacBook Pro (2014) on a second partition. I have the installer for Lion and everything, but I'm not sure if it will work on such a new mac. Any experiences?
    Thanks
    Marco.

    It won't work. You can't install an older version than the Mac shipped with.

  • Life of the new Retina MacBook Pro's FLASH Architecture?

    Dear all,
         How long does the new Retina MacBook Pro's flash based SSD memory last? How exactly is a "write" defined? If I'm going to be paying approximately 2K or more, I better be able to use this computer without problems for 6-8 years.
    Thanks

    You said:

    That means you expect to get 8 years out of a notebook computer. 2004 was 8 years ago. Apple was selling iBooks and PowerBooks back then running 10.3. This is at odds with your 2007 MacBook running the latest operating system. Obviously you do not expect to get 6-8 years from a notebook. You are faulting a brand-new machine with brand-new technologies for failing to meet requirements that have never before been imposed by you or anyone else.
    Your second sentence is completely unhelpful because "as long as all Apple notebooks last" depends much on the user.
    That is correct. If you are the type of person that uses your MacBook Pro for light web surfing, e-mail, newsletters, and as a receptical for Frappuccinos ®, then I can guarantee it won't last 8 years.
    If you use it only for its intended purposes, then it may or may not be able to run the lateset operating system in 2017. It may even need a hardware refresh to restore original performance. If you are lucky, it might last until 2020, but no reasonable person would expect that.

  • Wobbly keys on 13" Retina MacBook Pro (2014)?

    Hi there!
    Is there anyone out there who bought himself a 13" Retina MacBook Pro in the last two months and who is experiencing the same problem with the keyboard like I do?
    I feel that nearly every key on my device is very wobbly (see here http://youtu.be/2Rz4XCkl3Wc). I checked every exhibited MacBook (all produced in July 2014) in our local Apple Store this morning and those keys felt extremely strong compared to mine. I asked a Genius and Technician about it but they declined that Apple changed anything on the keyboards.
    Now I am wondering: is this normal? Are you experiencing the same?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi!
    I haven't decided yet. Thing is I got from work via our official computer distributor and I really don't know if they would replace it because of "wobbly keys"
    And Apple won't replace it, because I haven't bought it directly from Apple... It would be helpful if this was a widespread problem so that I could point our distributor to an e.g. article about this problem...

  • I have a single Pixel that is broke on my 2 month old retina macbook pro. I have Apple care. What will Happen if I bring it to an apple store.

    I have a single Pixel that is broke on my 2 month old retina macbook pro. I have Apple care. What will Happen if I bring it to an apple store.

    You can try to see if they will replace it, however there is some sort of acceptable amount of stuck pixels and they won't replace so I hear.
    But that was a long time ago and things change.

  • Retina Macbook pro Batterylife still low after 10.8.2

    Hi all,
    I have my Retina Macbook Pro for about 3 months now and the batt life wast't as promised 7 hours long. But I tought that this was going to be fixed after a few updates and now that I have installed 10.8.2 and my batt is right now at 100% and it still lasts only 4 hours?? And I am only browsing everything else is closed.
    I hope someone can help me out on this one.
    Greetz.

    I have a rMBP and I also had problems with battery life. In 10.8.2 I was getting estimates of like 2-3 hours on a full charge with 40% brightness Intel graphics only, Wifi on, Bluetooth off, only Safari open...
    But just now I thought about resetting the SMC (kind of like resetting the PMU in older macs). After a reboot I am at 70% battery with an estimate of 4.5 hours of battery life. That's more like it. And now Im also running Aperture and a few other apps.
    So if you still have the problem I recommend you try the SMC reset.

  • 15' Retina MacBook Pro: 8GB or 16GB RAM?

    I am looking into buying a 15' Retina MacBook Pro. I am wondering whether or not I should get 16GB of RAM. I would like this computer to last for 4 years. I will do occassional video editing using iMovie, and I will be using iPhoto. Also, I would install Windows 7 using Boot Camp for gaming purposes. I would not use a VM to run windows. Also, for processor upgrades, is the 2.8Ghz worth the $ from the 2.7Ghz? Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    For your uses, you can save the money for the 16 GB of RAM and the better processor. The MacBook Pro with Retina display and its default configuration is enough for your uses, as iPhoto and iMovie don't require the same as Aperture and Final Cut Pro. You will be fine with 8 GB of RAM.
    Also, Windows 7 will run without any problem with 8 GB of RAM. Just make sure you install a 64-bit Windows version in order to take advantage of the 8 GB of memory. Also, note that the MacBook Pro is not a computer designed to play games as it overheats quickly, so be careful with this, although games will run

  • Late 2012, 13'' Retina MacBook Pro, Display bug

    Hello, I am having a late 2012, 13'' Retina MacBook Pro(i7, 8Gb). Last year I upgraded to Mavericks. Immediately after upgrading I notice that my MacBook is bit slow. I always keep my OS X up-to-date. Last month I noticed something really strange.
    1. Whenever I manually put my MacBook to sleep by clicking sleep command under the apple logo (top left hand corner of the screen) then the way the display turns off is not normal. I mean its not smooth as it was earlier. I have compared this with the new hardwares (MacBook Pro's) in the apple store.
    2. After I put my notebook to sleep, when I try to wake it up within 5-10/15 mins, the screen flashes very quickly before entering password.
    These issues are bugging me a lot. I also have apple care. I called senior adviser and described the issue. I got scared when he mentioned that there might be some issue with my logic board/graphic card. 
    I also performed Apple Hardware Test by myself and also booked an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar guys but everything came up normal.
    Is there any particular test I need to mention to the Genius bar guys to test with there unique hardware checking tool?
    Note: I did clean install of OS X couple of times, also did SMC reset & PRAM reset.
    Recently I updated with latest OS X update 10.9.4 hoping that this issue will resolve but no luck.
    I am wondering whether any of you guys have experienced similar issue or I am the only one. Is it something I should worry about because I still have apple care and if it requires major hardware change then I can easy get it done without paying any $$$$. I know logic boards are pretty expensive.
    Thank you!

    The screen glitches that have been most likely when upgrading to 10.9.3 are quick, brief flashes of yellow, pink, etc., light on screens immediately before login. It doesn't sound as if you're having that problem.
    If QuickTime won't record the glitches, then it's unlikely to be a problem with your GPU - most likely a screen glitch (if that) or a OS X glitch, nothing related to Flash Player.
    However, if I were you, I would take the machine into your local Apple Store and have the techs run some tests. They may want to install OS X anew, so I would make certain that you have a backup before taking your machine into the techs.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • EFI Update broke my Retina Macbook Pro performance

    Ever since I applied the last EFI Update that was released with 10.8.2 my retina macbook pro has been working awfully.
    To begin with xcode, I don't know if it's the version 4.5 or what but switching from one plain file to another takes up to 1 minute and if I switching to a Storyboard it takes way longer. Right now all processes are taking up to 130% on activity monitor and it's impossible to work on it.
    After waking up from sleep it's taking years before I can start typing, it takes up to 20-25 seconds, on 10.8.1 it took around 10-15 seconds and on OS X Lion it was instantaneous, What happened?
    This is really affecting me, how can I fix this or roll back this EFI update or 10.8.2 all along?

    This didn't solved my issue, Apps are still using a lot of resources.
    I'm attaching a screenshot of xcode using 114% of the processor, no compiling is being done, just editing.
    The rMBP has 16GB of RAM, so it's not pagination
