Anyone else noticing mid-contrast problems using Aperture 2.1?

Before I moved up to Aperture 2.1 (never had just 2.0, so I don't know if it's affected or if it's just 2.1), I would use the highlight and shadow mid contrast adjustment for all of my contrast adjusting. I rarely used the actual contrast slider that was in the exposure tab.
I've noticed after I imported my old library that any picture I click on that was edited with Aperture 1.5.6 or before that any high-contrast images (again, adjusted with the highlight and shadows mid contrast slider, not the main contrast slider) that I click on, the parts of the picture that are too dark to contain information turn into this weird negative image of the detail that used to be there.
The thumbnail will look like it did on previous version of the software, then I click on it, the picture will pop up and look like it did, and then when it's finished loading all the lost data will turn into a negative image of what was there. I can't even look at most of my old pictures or they'll be messed up.
At first I thought it was just the software showing me that there was no data there, kind of like the highlight and shadow indicators, but the changes are present in files that are exported.
This is incredibly disappointing seeing as how most of my images feature a slightly high contrast look to the. I also had many presets that could mimic cross processing and mimic HDRs that made portraits look fantastic and I can't use either of them anymore.
I've sent a feedback complaint to Apple, so hopefully it'll be fixed in future upgrades. I love everything else about the new software, but this has put a huge damper on things.
Just wanted to know if anyone else is having this problem, and better yet, if anyone has a fix for it.
Thanks!

It happened with the latest Aperture update (2.1) which came out late March. It's been bothering me ever since. Yeah, and we've asked the Aperture team to fix the bug a while back (cf http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7281885).
The software update process employed by Apple seems to be quite convoluted for a fix to take this long... else the bug is sitting in the system and can't easily be resolved. I hope that we get a fix with or close to system 10.5.4.
What is really bothersome is that Apple, as ever, is real tight-lipped about their release schedule. Again, I'm sure this is to do with how their software is interconnected (Aperture depends on CoreGraphics depends on the System depends on ...). It really doesn't help productivity since planning ahead becomes difficult (when do I get to process my new portraits)?
Somewhat annoyed,
Karl

Does anyone else still have a problem using iVPN with OS X 10.8.3 and Airport Extreme?

I am looking for help setting up iVPN. I am using my iMac, an airport extreme, and had recently purchased iVPN. I believe I input everything correct and port forward my Airport Extreme to 1732, but when the counter starts I cant access anything including email and internet. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I just verified that I have no issue with photobucket. I use exactly the same setup as yours except my Java security is enabled at the default level.
Do you have the current version of the Java software installed: Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_21. Just because you have the preference panel doesn't mean you have the runtime installed.

Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
Has it returned to normal for you?

I've noticed that when wearing headphones the sound is much louder in the right headphone than the left one. This wasn't a problem before. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix if so?

Did you try different headphones!?
If it's sounding the same thing on different headphones then you might have changed the Left-Right balance
Have a look at Settings -> General -> Accessibility
There's a slider for L-R
If it's in the center then the headphone through which you're facing the problem might be damaged, try twisting the headphone wire of the speaker of the headphone (left or right) where you are encountering less volume.
If it's sounding altogether same on all the circumstances, the headphone jack might be damaged. Get your phone to the Apple Store and book an appointment
Try these steps and it will solve your question

Same here...plopped down >$2700 USD on a new Retina MBP a few weeks ago with the promise of a free upgrade to ML when it was released. Now, I have no doubts that I'll get the upgrade but I'm not crazy about having to wait behind scads of others who are shelling out a mere $20 bucks.
I was given the same 72 hour speech by Apple Customer Support. With my Up-To-Date claim reference number in hand, it seems like they would/could provide an instant turn-around to those of us who are excited/eager enough to call in.
Apple does a lot of things right but people...especially the clientele that gravitate toward Apple products...expect excellence across the board. It's like a "nearly" perfect date....beautiful night...best table in the restaurant...delicious dinner with a fabulous bottle of wine...your date is smokin' hot in a little black dress. On the way back to her place, she unbuckles her seatbelt and leans across with a hand towards your leg and then lets a gigantic, tear-demanding **** that makes you want to gag. The next day somebody asks, "How was your date?"

Problem using Aperture as external editor for Photoshop CS5...

I am having trouble using Aperture as my external editor for Photoshop - if, for example, I select twenty photos and choose "edit in photoshop CS5," for some reason or another, only ten or twelve photos will show up. Some photos are always missing, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Has anyone else noticed this? It is really frustrating and slowing my workflow down immensely. Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Casey.
First lets make sure we have the flow going the correct way. You are using Aperture, and use PSCS5 as your external editor (external to Aperture). Right?
Second, what size are your Masters? When you use PS directly (not calling it from Aperture) do you regularly open twenty files at a time?
My Masters are about 25 MPix each. PS sizes them in the 140 MB range. Opening twenty of them at once -- for me that's about 3 GB of data -- will probably bog things down. Does the problem occur if you open just, say, five at a time? What's your hardware? How do you have PS set-up?
And -- my top suggestion for improving your work rate: do in Aperture as much of the work as you can, and send out to PS as little as possible. You don't say what kind of work you are doing, but Aperture, for many, suffices for almost all of there photograph processing needs.

Has anyone else noticed their macbook air (11-inch, Late 2010) fan running constantly?

Since i updated to 10.8.4, i've noticed the fan is running almost constantly on my Macbook Air (11-inch, Late 2010) and the computer gets very hot. I looked in Activity Monitor and saw that both Safari and Finder were using CPU, but it's by no means spiked. Anyone else notice this?

Try resetting your system's System Management Controller (SMC) to see if that helps the problem. The SMC is responsible for managing the feedback for the fans to respond to temperature changes.
See here for how to reset it for your system: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

HT1222 Has anyone else noticed much greater battery consumption since iOS 5.1.1 update for iPhone?

Since iOS 5.1.1 update has anyone else noticed a much greater battery consumption on all fronts? My phone used to rock steady all day and know is around 47% 12 noon to 1 pm with the same amount of usage.

Heres a support question... how the **** do I fix the dramatic battery drain problem that came about after installing 5.1.1? Suggestions for fixing problems on iTunes did not work.

After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the mail software package crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

I haven't encountered this problem on my iPad Air but this is what I usually do when Mail misbehaves.
Quit the Mail app like I describe then reset the iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Has anyone else noticed this bug with multitasking gestures on iOS 5?

I recently updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and have just noticed this bug with multitasking gestures.
If you're currently in an app and use the four-finger swipe up to open the app switcher, and then subsequently close another app that's open in the background from the switcher, the app doesn't seem to fully close. What I mean is that if you now use the four-finger swipe right/left to switch apps, when you get to the place where that app you closed was, it's still open, and after you view it, it pops back into the app switcher. It seems like the multitasking gestures feature isn't recognizing that you've closed the app and that it should skip it from now on.
If you do the above steps again, but this time after you close the app from the switcher, use the five-finger pinch to go back to the home screen, it seems to clear the "cache" being used by the the gestures feature. Now if you go back into any app and swipe left to right, the closed app won't load up anymore (which is how it should correctly work).
Has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone else reproduce the bug as I described? I'd appreciate it if an Apple employee could confirm that this is a bug in iOS 5 and not just something wrong on my end. Thanks in advance.

After the time spent and attention to detail in replicating this fault, I do think that you should email your findings to Nokia Care to be found on:

This is after all a discussion forum and others may find the same bug, but until it is logged at Nokia there is little chance of future modification if required!
Done already. They may of course have corrected this in the 11.x firmware currently being rolled out but as I don't yet have access to it I can't say.

Has anyone else noticed this bug in the 10.x firmw...

A vibrate issue I have noticed in the 10.x firmware. Steps to replicate...
1. Put phone into silent mode or any other mode where the phone is set to vibrate when a call comes in (You can actually do this at any point before step 4).
2. Put your N95 into landscape mode and watch a video or play music (You may optionally plug in some headphones if you wish).
3. Close the video down, take headphones out, put phone back into standby.
4. Call yourself or get someone to call you from another phone.
5. Your phone will not always vibrate when the call comes in even though its supposed to. I tried this ten times and it only vibrated as it was supposed to during 3 of those attempts.
So far I can't work out whether this is caused by inserting headphones or making use of the media buttons by sliding the slider down.
Anyone else noticed this?

I am not having problems with wifi but ipad will not accept my password in the secure mode. anyone else having the same problem?

I am having problems with the Ipad accepting my password in the secure mode in Wifi. I can get into wifi when the secure mode is off. This only started when I downloaded the lastest update for the Ipad. Anyone else having the same problems? I have rebooted the Rotar and still doesn't work.

I am not.
Which secure mode are you using with your wireless network - WEP or WPA?
Have you tried forgetting this network on your iPad, and/or resetting network settings on your iPad? Both will require rejoining the network and the latter will require rejoining every wi-fi network your iPad has access to when returning within range of the network.
