Still no support for Leaf Aptus digital backs?

Once again it appears that 'pro' means 35mm style dslr shooters. Odd, as most the pros I know shoot some kind of MFDB such as Leaf or Phase. The supported list is long with prosumer and comsumer dslrs yet not a single digital back. What's really funny (and not in a good way) is that testimonial video that misleadingly shows one of the sponsored photographers using a MFDB. Apple should be ashamed of that deception. What ever happened to honestly?
Come on guys, I know that Leaf has been talking to you for a good long while now. Maybe some of the resources that went into a useless consumer/amateur feature like iPod integration could have been better spent on some real pro oriented items like .mos support. Maybe the marketing guys need to come clean about for whom this application is REALLY developed.

Aperture is not marketed as Medium Format— yet. This should not be interpreted as meaning they are not working on it, they obviously are.

Film editors here in Hollywood have been using the iPod for a few years to store and show 1080i HD (Pro) previews of their movie projects, just because someone chooses to load them up with MP3s doesn't mean that is all there is to them
The iPod is connected to a plasma or a 1080i/1080p monitor/television via firewire and plays the stored 1080i HD movie, full resolution and aspect ratio.

Still no support for Leaf Aptus digital backs in 10.4.7

This product just cracks me up. No reasonable video card upgrade path for us early Quad owners (a total ripoff) and no support for high end digital backs. This is turning into a really bad joke. Apple is totally clueless about supporting professional photographers other than wedding and sports shooter. Lame. This is clearly geared more to the prosumer market rather than real working pros with multiple cameras for different requirements. This whole experience has left a really bad taste in my mouth after supporting and using Apple computers since the Apple IIe.
Joe if you're reading this is there any chance that Aperture will EVER support the Leaf backs? If not I'm going to stop wasting my valuable time on this product.

lawrence I'm sure you'll be excited though that though there is no support for high end digital backs, or Fuji S3 - that there is however support for the C7070 and other compacts. Thank goodness, we can now work.

HT201070 there is no camera raw support for Leaf Aptus-II 8? I need to be able to read MOS files

OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats seems to indicate that you are correct.
Are you are trying to provide Apple - Aperture - Feedback or Apple - iPhoto - Feedback?
If so, use you can send direct feedback via the above link(s). You will not likely get a direct response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in future product development.
If you seek a solution rather than to offer feedback, or until Apple supports your needs within the Mac OS, check whether Mamiya's Leaf RAW converter 1.2.6 for Mac meets your needs.

Still no support for multiple users!!

The only reason I recently updated to 5.0 is I was anxiously awaiting the addition of multi-user support to my Lenovo A10-70 tablet. I had bought it for my young daughter after she broke the screen on her Nexus. Well, without support for User Accounts, this tablet is useless to a parent. I cannot believe a large company like Lenovo does not offer this with its Android tablets! Mark, Cleo, Serene, Lenovo admins - I hope you are reading this. I am also posting this on Amazon where I bought my tablet. Such a shame - great hardware but such poor software choices. P.S. Major issues with the new update to Android 5.0. WiFi does not stay connected. Many Google apps will not run, including Gmail!

Multi-user support is not common in tablets - so far, the ONLY tablet I have found with solid multi-user support is the Galaxy Tab/Note 4 (and even it has issues if you mis-configure it). (Why do I refer to the Tab/Note 4? Yes - the Note 4 is a phablet, and is typically sold via providers AND has a taller resolution than the Tab 4; those are, in fact, the ONLY differences between the Tab 4 and Note 4. They have common features otherwise, and even their updates are released simultaneously.) Lenovo even did the same thing with the A-series - compare their phablet models (G, GV, and H) with their wireless-only F models - you'll find so many commonalities it's not funny. It's the phablets that are getting all the update love (especially when it comes to Lollipop); tablets (F subseries), not so much.Also, phablets are huge in Asia and India (look at sales of the G, GV, and H - the forums HERE are also rather obvious in those reporting successful updates - they are all from Asia or India); Lenovo doesn't push phablets in Europe or North America. (I have no idea whether it is provider resistance or not.) If you want solid multi-user support as a parent, look to Samsung (simply because they actually implemented it properly, which most tablet OEMs aren't going to be bothered with - it's not a knock specifically on Lenovo, because it's not specifically a Lenovo issue). On the Lollipop update issue; how many of us are still soldiering on with the same amount of storage that our tablets came with? (I'm referring mainly to us F-subseries folks.) The thing about the F subseries is that they all have small - if not downright miniscule - amounts of usable eMMC storage; out of the 8GB of eMMC storage the device has, only half that - 4GB - is usable from the start. And every app you install, and assorted things that go along with it, eats into that. Look at the size of the UPDATES that are being reported; S000023 alone is nearly 200MB. The big combo updates - and if you're coming merely from S000020, which is the North American starting place for the F - you're talking nearly a gigabyte just to get to S000027 - do you have that much usable storage? We may well have to bite the bullet and install medium or large (16GB/32GB) microSD cards in our tablets just because of the update-size issue. (It's not like 16GB microSD cards are all that expensive, even retail - I see them at the local Best Buy for - at worst - $15 for SanDIsk Ultra - that's the high end brand of microSD card.) We may be getting those "you have the latest version" due to available-space constraints - I've seen it happen on space-coinstrained WINDOWS PCs often enough.

Is there any planned support for the "do not back up" extended attribute for iOS

Starting in iOS 5.0.1, Apple has introduced a new "do not back up" extended file attribute that will allow an app to store downloaded data into the application folder. Is there any planned support for setting this attribute within an AIR application or is there currently a way to set this attribute using the existing AIR SDK.

Yes, this is exactly what I'm wondering too. Without it, we can't build any apps that download content without the risk of the content being deleted.
Here's the background before Apple introduced the new "do not back up" attribute:
http://www.marco.org/2011/10/13/ios5-caches-cleaning
Fortunately, Apple addressed it after that blog post in 5.0.1. See bullet #4 here, quoted below
https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/data-storage/
Q: My app has a number of files that need to be stored on the device permanently for my app to function properly offline. However, those files do not contain user data and don't need to be backed up. How should I store those files in iOS 5?
A: Starting in iOS 5.0.1 a new "do not back up" file attribute has been introduced allowing developers to clearly specify which files should be backed up, which files are local caches only and subject to purge, and which files should not be backed up but should also not be purged. In addition, setting this attribute on a folder will prevent the folder and all of its contents from being backed up.
Important: The new "do not back up" attribute will only be used by iOS 5.0.1 or later. On iOS 5.0 and earlier, applications will need to store their data in <Application_Home>/Library/Caches to avoid having it backed up. Since this attribute is ignored on older systems, you will need to insure your app complies with the iOS Data Storage Guidelines on all versions of iOS that your application supports.
Now we just need Adobe to support the attribute in the AIR SDK. What do you say Adobe?

Tethering with Canon 5D2 or 1D3, still no support for either?

I have just upgraded to a 5D2 from a 5D and notice there is no tethering support. I have had my 1D3 for over 18 months and still no Tethering support. Is this me or does Aperture still not support the 1D3 or the 5D2?
Anyone found a work around?

ya it is disappointing that Canon messed up by changing from standard protocols for tethering to proprietary ones without letting third party companies know the new protocols
you should be able to use the EOS tethering utility and hot-folder import method used for AP1 until Canon decides to let third party companies know the protocol

Still no support for Pentax K20D RAW???

I could understand if the camera was just announced, or just came out last week, or even last month - but this camera has been on the market for 3 months now! C'mon Apple!
Any word about when we might see support for RAW files from Pentax/Samsung CMOS cameras in Aperture or even iPhoto? Adobe is already there...

I totally agree. PEF is matched to the new CMOS sensor and you are right, the files are considerably smaller. I really hope Apple will support PEF. I have sent feedback, but I imagine if there isn't much call for it, they won't feel it's urgent.
Pentaxians Unite! Respectfully and Urgently with all Due Politeness Request Support!
Pentax is the camera world today what Apple is in the computer world. Smaller user base, but passionate about our beloved device!

Aperture 1.1......still no support for Fuji S2 and S3 Pro!!!!

I just got the 1.1 update but i was devastated to see that Aperture is still not opening the Raw files of two of the most used camera among professional:Fujifilm S2 and S3 Pro!!!
Even if i convert the files in DNG it doesn't support them
I would like to know how can Apple describe Aperture as "Designed for Professional Photographer"..............
Just look around, all pro application like Capture One or Camera Raw support those cameras,even the beta version Adobe Lightroom does it
There are not excuse for this..... not anymore
Thanks
Ettore

Ettore, It is clear that 2 things shape the Apple
product pholosophy with "pro apps"; A total
disregard of anything that does not guarantee a
corner on the market and support of any system that
does not lead directly to a hardware sale. The very
poor handling of the bugs/deficiencies of Aperture,
the poor (read nonexistent) communication with end
users
You mean like the mesages from Joe Schor on this forum? Or the whole web page announcing 1.1 features? Those non-existant communications?
and the total disregard of what real
professionals tell them
You mean like focusing the 1.1 update on better RAW conversion quality, performance, and the addition of DPI features everyone was asking for?
Given that Apple cannot fix every single problem I'd say they worked on exactly the problems bedeviling the most users.
The disregard for Fuji RAF files is
not surprising in that context.
No, it's not surprising because (a) it's not Canon or Nikon, which most professionals are using, and (b) because the Fuji sensor is unlike other sensors and is therefore not quite as easy for Apple to use similar conversion techniques.
The same can be said
of Bibble and others, and their lame protestations to
the contrary will fall on deaf ears. Like you said,
Lightroom, which is still in beta supported fuji raw
right from the start.
Which is because (for better or worse) Lightroom sits on top of the ACR conversion engine that has been in development for something like three or four years! Give Apple a little time to add other cameras, in the meantime bug Fuji to push Apple to add support!
<...>
The geniuses at Apple will find
that working pros pick the tools that help deliver
the goods to the client
<...>
Yes they will, which is why Aperture has been so popular and will be even more so with RAW conversion quality addressed.
<...>
Thank goodness their are other software products
available that come from companies that DO listen to
their customers.
<...>
Yes, like Apple. All indication are that they do indeed listen to user feedback (indeed Apple reps themselves have said so) and the end results of updates also indcate they are listing. At PMA every single half hour presentation ended with "Send us feedback because we are listening".
I don't think it's fair to tag Apple with being hopelessly out of touch with users just because they will not fix the only problem you care about.
My camera is not supported by Aperture either, but I realize the reality of owning a camera that is not Nikon or Canon in today's market. Until then I simply import 16-bit TIFF images into Aperture and use it from there. Not having your camera supported directly is not really that great a limitation.

10.1.3.0.9 available via metalink - still no support for Outlook 2007

It's available as Patch 6120041 via metalink...

Well, AFAIK 10.1.3.10 was the version released for Outlook 07. In any case, for me it doesn't work either...
Clean XP SP3 install, and Office 2007 Enterprise SP1. When I install the connector, it crashes trying to connec to the calendar server (outlook hangs, crashes, etc.)
Cleared out profiles, deleted the files as well, uninstalled, reinstalled - nothing.
Tried out 10.1.3.11 released in metalink but still same issues.
Tried to configure it as calendar only - still nothing.
I'm back at uninstalling Office 2007 - Installing Outlook 2003 and then installing back Office 2007, keeping Outlook 03.

Still no support for N85 & N79!! - Isn't Nokia the...

Now this is the limit! Not that i rely on this feature a lot. But the attitude is inexcusable. For what reason has the compatibility not been achieved?
Both phones have received a FW upgrade, had their been any issues with the FW should have been resolved with them.
A really poor show.

If you mean Ovi support, it's incredible that is advertised and still it's not supported
If you mean the firmware upgrade, yea it didn't solved any of my problems. The photo queality it's awful.
I think Nokia has forgotten N85 users and is too busy with other phones.

Still no support for Panama after 7 years at least

Hello,Here in Panama we have been waiting to receive support from Paypal for at least 7 years now, this is frustrating.As merchants we can't do anything. We can send payments but not the other way around.Costa Rica, Colombia and even Venezuela for the love of God have full Paypal support, what about Panama?We use the USD as national currency, the Americans have been here before 1903 and we are still begging for support from you guys... When are we going to receive support as Merchants from Paypal in Panama? Thank you, Bob

I just hung up with Paypal business support, and the person answering my questions just told me that Panama bank accounts can be added to my Panama-based Paypal account, he sounded very savyy and diligent, yes, but.....I tried and is a NO GO. I will keep my Skrill account open..... Bob

Getting support for the dreadful Digital Editions

I checked out a book from my library, & returned it on the expiration date using Adobe Digital Editions (ADE).
Then, because I wasn't done reading it, I checked it out again, (after the expiration period), and attempted to have Adobe reauthorize it.
What happened? ADE went into a loop for several minutes, flashing a popup so fast I couldn't read it, ultimately telling me I'm not authorized to use the book.
Wait, I just checked it out!
Not wanting to waste too much time on software bugs, I checked out a different book. This time, when the library due date arrived, I let the book expire without de-authorizing it in ADE.
I did, however, remove the book using ADE's delete book function. Then, I went to the library. The library crudware reported I still had the book checked out, and wouldn't let me download it. Hunting around on my computer, I saw two 6 MB files in Adobe's Digital Editions folder: they had the same title as the book I had previously used ADE to delete, dated when I ***first*** checked the book out from the library. Oh, I guess ADE didn't remove the book as it reported.
Okay, I said, "I'll buy the **!@$$ book!" I went to Google, and I bought the book, which gives me the right to read it on my ereader. In google, the book opened just fine--I guess Google knows how to write software--and I could sit and read the book on my computer, where I don't want to read it. Nope, I want to read it on my Sony ereader. That requires I use ADE. Bummer!
So, I clicked the Google button to download the book. I clicked on the book file as instructed. Up pops a window from within the dreadful ADE: "Document is licensed for a different user account."
I went to Adobe's website to report a bug. They don't seem to take bug reports on this software, or if they do, they hide it well. Somewhere, I found a forum in which someone with similar problems told one of the 20 or so people who have previously had this problem that they should delete ADE entirely & reinstall. I tried that. Result? Now, ADE doesn't do anything when I click on the book title.
You folks at Adobe call this software? I call it garbage. And I know of what I speak, having 20 years of software design experience.
If I don't have access to the book I purchased within a week, I'll also call it a small claims case, and I'll look forward to seeing you in court, where at least if I'm made to waste 3 hours there'll be someone there to respond: a judge.

In my opinion, I encountered a series of problems that not only look like they were caused by bad ADE software, they were caused by bad ADE software.
I did complain to my library about not being able to check out a book that had been turned in. They pointed the finger at the provider of their library checkout software, which I had described in my post as crudware, (and I think they also mentioned problems with ADE). But even when my library wasn't involved, Adobe's Digital Editions didn't work right, unless you call "working right" keeping me from reading on my ereader a purchased copy of an ebook.
After hours of digging, I found the apparent source of the problem: my password and/or account were different at Adobe and at Sony. How could "good" ADE software impose such an obscure requirement?
Adobe digital rights management software is supposed to work with numerous vendors and hardware platforms, no? Requiring the passwords or the accounts be the same at Adobe and at Sony is not good software design, (especially if it's a hidden or undocumented requirement), because it requires users to know the internals of software assumptions. If that's good software design, then it's good car design to require one to wear a matching shirt and pants before allowing one to start one's car. Refrigerator won't work? It's because you forgot to put in matching ice cube trays. Washing machine not running? It's because you put a pair of mismatched socks in it! If Adobe requires the Sony (or Barnes & Noble) account/password to match its account/password, it should not allow one to establish an account when that is not the case, or it should report that "error" clearly.
Bad software requires users to perform "tricks" to get the software to perform its functions correctly. Tricks are for magicians, not product users. Engineers should think of the "tricks" they can perform--i.e., in the design phase--to make a hardware/software experience pleasant and seamless. For example, to buy a book in a bookstore, I
(1) walk up to the cash register and pay for the book with cash or credit card, which authorizes me to read (and/or sell my copy of) the book.
In my opinion, unless and until Adobe Digital Editions can make the process of ebook buying/authorizing that pleasant and seamless, it has failed its task. As evidence of the bad ADE software about which I complained, I point to the pages of complaints in this forum, from apparently marooned ebook owners.
How did I ultimately "solve" the problem that didn't allow me to read the book I had purchased? After spending hours fussing with Adobe's software, attempting to decipher its error messages, attempting to locate its documentation, (why no help pulldown, as in every other piece of Mac OSX software?), and then posting here, I gave up dealing with Adobe. Not wanting to hassle with the small claims court suit I mentioned in my initial forum post, I contacted Google to have them rescind my purchase, which they did promptly, through a convenient link. (How I love software that works right!) I then contacted Sony, which spent another hour or so with me to diagnose and correct the problem, having me change my account information for Adobe and Sony, even though it certainly looked like it was Adobe digital rights management software that wouldn't let me authorize the book to my ereader. (Thank you Sony!)
After about 7 hours of dealing with this problem, spread over several days, I bought the book again. In that time, I could have flown across country, bought the book, and read the book on the return flight. Software that makes tasks harder to perform is not "good" software.

Ver 4: Still no support for Includes or Design Time Stylesheets?

Wow...well, without either of these I can't make use of this
product. I guess I'm confused at what types of users this product
may be marketed toward, although with the amount of focus put on
Blogs and Blogging and lack of focus on requests already made in
this forum for some time I'm getting a better idea. Hey, if they
want to "dumb this down" and make it a price point product that
purposely sits lower on the totem pole than Dreamweaver, then I
think that ought to be made more clear in the marketing materials.
I guess what's frustrating is that it's touted that it "uses the
Dreamweaver HTML Engine" but can't implement a feature like Design
Time Stylesheets? Would this put it too close to Dreamweaver in the
product line? I certainly don't think so but if it did implement
such a feature it would increase the demographic that could make
use of such a great product as many users are not going to rewrite
Includes OUT of their existing sites just to be able to use it.
Most intermediate to advanced designers will almost always,
and have been taught, to use includes to minimize page changes in
multiple places...it's such a common thing to do. But unless an
included page can be edited inline I have no way to turn my users
loose with this app. It seems reasonable to implement Design Time
Stylesheets like Dreamweaver does in which case, the users could
edit the included page directly and at least see it like it should
look with formatting which they can't do now because of the lack of
an applied stylesheet when opening the include file directly.
Do they expect that once we've written a site using includes
we should have our content providers use Dreamweaver? I don't know
about the rest of you but that's asking for a heck of a lot of
trouble turning non-designer/developers loose with
Dreamweaver...even using Templates.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just a bit frustrated as I really
need an app that can let me make use of "Content Providers" in our
company. And don't get me wrong, I'm a long time Macromedia/Adobe
supporter...just hoped something would happen with v4 that didn't
and was pretty sure it would based on user input on this and other
forums.
If anyone has ideas on workarounds for this problem I'd love
to hear!
Thx,
Mike

Hi. I'm going to reopen this thread instead of starting a new
one. Maybe someone here can help me figure out how Contribute can
solve my client's editing woes.
His site is built in ColdFusion, with template information
that's stored in the database for each page. Currently this is what
happens, simplified.
1. User requests /foo.cfm
2. Database looks up header, footer, and template to use for
/foo.cfm, or the page can use "no template" in which case
whatever's in the page gets put between the header and footer.
3. The template or the page will contain one or more
"editable regions", to use a Dreamweaver term. These blocks of HTML
are pulled out of the database, and can currently be edited within
the CMS by a browser-based WYSWYG editor.
The problem is, the WYSIWYG editor in question isn't up to
the task. Contribute seems to be, but I can't figure out how to fit
it into a workflow compatible with this site!
We don't use Dreamweaver and from what I've seen Dreamweaver
templates aren't going to work in this application. It seems that
if you make a change to the template, Dreamweaver has to go and
update all 800 pages that use the template ... ??!? ... if so,
lame.
I don't mind pulling out all the HTML content snippets from
the database and making a "database" on the filesystem of files
that can be edited in Contribute. No problem. One of these snippets
may be a "contact us" box or something that's used on 100 pages
throughout the site, so I'm not going to put stuff like that
separately on every page.
If I do this, though, my snippets when I open them to edit
them in Contribute are missing their CSS. This is because the CSS
is set up in the header file, which is not included in the snippet
HTML, obviously. The snippets also won't have the header and footer
navigation and stuff, but I can live with that.
How can I get the CSS to show up for my client when he edits
the HTML snippets?
The only solution I can think of is to put a stylesheet
include into every snippet, and then pull that out with a regular
expression from EVERY include at runtime whenever I display that
HTML to the end user. Talk about a gross, ugly, non-extensible
hack. Please tell me there's a better way...
Thanks for reading,
- Andrew.

Still no support for MKV files??

I read that the new Quicktime X can't play MKV files even with Perian installed. Aren't we almost in the year 2010 and Quicktime still can't play HD MKV's on it's own? So what do I do? Install QT 7 over again? MKV's should be fully supported by now because they are the most common HD file type on the internet. Get with it Apple developers!
Message was edited by: Keygenerator

Hi,
I have a question about HD (720 and 1080) mkv's. I installed Niceplayer so Quicktime X is now able to play mkv's. BUT! The main reason I want Quicktime X to play mkv is because most of the HD content is in mkv. My problem is is that HD content (720 and 1080) stutters like crazy. This is quite strange because when I use Plex it plays very smooth. Okay I agree that I can use Plex instead of QX but I prefer to use mac programs. The stability and usability of native mac programs is one of the main reasons I bought a mac in the first place. And the fact that Q7 stutters while playing 1080p content was one of my main reasons to immediately upgrade to Snow Leopard. So my question is, are you guys working on this? Because I can't really get why a freeware program is able to play the content while such a "sophisticated" program as QX isn't?
I love mac, but this is really a problem I like to see being solved soon.
Regards
Nick

Oh no- new update and still no support for my panasonic lumix dmc-lx2-

sorry, but i was writing several support-mails and hoped so much, that this new camera could be supported. no way.
how can it be, that the »Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1« is supported, but the dmc-lx2 not? are the raws different?
i don't get it…
iMac 20'' Intel 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) Titanium 550, some iPods

Read the slightly newer topic by Pat Gilmour "Lumix DMC-LX1 RAW......" and you can see it is feasible, if not convenient. Note that for the LX2 you have to follow the instructions for the LX1 but write LX2 instead. It works a beauty for me
