Aperture 2.1.4 with Snow Leopard opens but unable to customize toolbar. Nothing happens when I select view/customize.

Installed 2.1.4 on an iMac with 3GB Ram using 10.6.8 OSX.
Experiencing two problems for now.
1. Attempts to customize toolbar has no response. The boxes appear but no screen with the tools to import.
2. I did the standard install over AP 1.5 and all library photos for 1.5 appear in 2.1.4 but
when opening a project/folder picture it will open and the "Loading" message appears but the wheel is not moving?
I'm using 2.1 over 3.0 because I have it and not ready to spend more until I get this working. I plan to go to LION OSX
once Aperture functons correctly.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Updated to snow leopard and had the same problem that when the thumbnails where placed on the bottom I could only scroll left or right when no picture was marked... so I placed the thumbnails to the left side and scrolling worked normally even with a a marked picture...I also had bad color sync problems and switching screens would cause my windows to become almost black and unreadable..... I reinstalled my Leopard clone drive shortly there after... oh well... it took a while before leopard was ready for professional use.... I didn't really expect Snow leopard to be different... I will check back in at 10.6.4 or so LOL

    I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

  • Help! Aperture won't work with Snow Leopard...

    I know you will all probably laugh at me because I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard.  The problem is that nobody told me my Aperture wouldn't work anymore! I can't even open it to retrieve my photos...(btw, this is why I was hesitant to upgrade...but I had to because I got the iphone 5 which wouldn't sync with my itunes version and that wouldn't update unless I went to snow leopard...and so on....).
    So, the problem is that I need Aperture version 2.0. so I can update that to 2.1.4 and be compatible with Snow Leopard.  I have 1.5.6 and kept it that way because it was working for me and I just basically use Aperture as a photo storage system. I can't find 2.0 anywhere. I can't figure out how to uninstall snow leopard either. I need my photos back asap.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance,
    Debi

    One more question, debi.
    Does your Aperture icon show a circular ring like the ghostbusters? Like below for my CCC?
    And is the "Kind" listed as "Application (PowerPC)" when you use "Get Info ⌘I)? That would indicate that your current Aperture version is still a PowerPC application. Then you can still make it run on Snow Leopard. You have to make sure that your Snow Leopard installation includes the Rosetta environment.
    Do you have a Snow Leopard install disk? Look into the "Optional Installs" folder on this disk and open the "Optional Installs" package. Proceed as described in the second part of this
    article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167117/reinstalling_rosetta.html
    If your Aperture 2 version is still a PoerPC app, installing Rosetta should enable you to run the aperture 2 installer from your installation disk and then upgrade to Aperture 2.1.4.

  • Aperture is very slow with Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    I updated my MyBook with Snow Leopard. The (big) problem is that Aperture 2.1.4 is now very slow when I make change to images. CPU usage is very high and Aperture is unusable.
    What can I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    zemitch - I also use one of the slowest machines capable of running SL, but my your graphics card may be different than mine. But I also store my masters on an external drive and that wasn't the issue.
    I found rebuilding the database of Aperture when starting up helps a bit, but the biggest improvement is to do cropping/straightening AFTER the other adjustments. That changes my workflow, but with no crop/straighten, the other adjustments didn't not show the horrible slowdown.
    See if that helps you.

  • FF 3.15 worked perfect with Snow Leopard. But everything after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right. On Facebook. And on ALL different language websites. Should I stop using FF? Heard Chrome is good.

    [Edit: It should be FF 3.5. I mistyped FF 3.15]
    I have MAC OSX Snow Leopard. 10.6.8.
    FF 3.5 [apologies; I mistyped 3.15] worked perfect with Snow Leopard. NO problems.
    But '''everything''' after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right.
    Facebook crashes the most within few short seconds.
    And NO different language websites even open.
    I read online to use Safe Mode and try. I did. No change.
    I read online to reset font cache or or something using atsUtil from the Terminal. I did. Nothing.
    It is super frustrating. Same problem in my wife's Mac as well.
    Should I stop using FF? I heard Chrome is good.

  • Aperture 2.1.4 with Snow Leopard Filmstrip Slider Not Working

    Hi all,
    Not sure which one caused the problem the upgrade to Snow Leopard or Aperture 2.1.4 but here is my issue.
    In Browser and Viewer mode with the browser set to Filmstrip I am not able to use either the arrows or the slider to scroll through the images in my projects. Sliding the bar over to the left or right just resets back to where it was. Click on the arrows to scroll left or right does nothing. If I switch to Grid orList view they work as expected. Anyone else seeing this issue ?? Thanks

  • Aperture doesn't run with Snow Leopard

    I just bought a new 17" MacBook Pro and installed Aperture2. When I go to open the program I get a message that I have Aperture2 and can't run it on this computer. Huh?

    I installed Aperture2 prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. Updated Aperture 2.1.4
    Problem arises VIEW browser/viewer, select a thumbnail picture, Aperture opens first picture fine, then if I scroll through other thumbs or quickly select a new thumb, it thinks about it for 2-3 minutes. All pics are NEF and about 2-3mb each. The processing time to open pictures progressively gets longer. Sitting waiting for the picture to open in Viewer is ridiculously long. I do regular software updates.

    Apple store told me it would work but be slow. I recognize minimum OS is 2Mhz

  • Is Aperture 3.4 compatible with Snow Leopard

    I want to purchase Aperture and have a circa 2010 iMac running Snow Leopard.  The App Store says I need at least Lion, however I have seen postings that indicate Aperure 3.3 can run on Snow Leopard.

    Hi
    Best is to buy Aperture 3 in DVD format. It's prior 3.3 and 3.4 and is easily available on amazon.com
    Doing this as we speak as I have the same issue than you ... Only drawback is that you might be stuck with version 3.0 or something which has the early day issues/bugs you can imagine.
    Hope it helps

  • So, to be able to use my new cameras with Aperture on my iMac with Snow Leopard I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to be able to read the RAW files?

    Must I upgrade to Mountain Lion just to be able to use Aperture on my new cameras?  I am using Snow Leopard now and have upgraded to Lion but didn't like it and didn't like that I was required to upgrade a couple of my other programs (Power PC stuff).  Seems a bit of a rip off to me.  I've just gotten a Canon 6D and have a Fuji X Pro 1, neither of which RAW files are readable by Aperture. 

    The RAW converter Aperture uses is part of OS X (and is, therefore, system-wide).  Updates to the RAW converter are, effectively, OS updates.  If that update is not available for your OS, then you cannot use it.

    Depends on your camera, but it is certainly possible.
    The Fuji X-Pro1 sensor does not use a Bayer array.  Afaik, there has never been a non-Bayer-array sensor camera supported by Apple.

  • Safari and other aplications super slow after update to Snow Leopard. Installed the update combo and nothing happened, still super super slow. Any tips to solve this?

    After updating to Snow Leopard (to install Lion later), Safari and other aplications became super super slow and Preview is not working properly, I can't print anything that was opened with Preview. Already installed the Combo update, nothing happened, Safari still taking hours to load any site. I honestly regret downloading Snow Leopard, the older version worked so much better... Hope Lion is smarter than Snow Leopard...

  • Aperture 2.1.4 with Snow Leopard

    Mouse and touch pad will not work to progress images or slides since upgrading to SL.
    Have downloaded and reloaded Aperture but still has corrected the problem.
    The only way to browse the images is to use the arrows.

    Using apple mouse - not blue tooth / wired.
    Mouse / track pad is working with all other software.
    Have installed Aperture on another MacBook pro and this is working correctly.
    Will have to see what is different with this Mac Book Pro

  • Where can I get a version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I have Snow Leopard (10.6) on my iMAC and I did not upgrade to Lion as it is good enough for what I do with my iMAC.
    Unfortunately, the Aperture version available in the App Store recommends MAC OS 1.7 or later.
    Is there a previous version of Aperture, which is compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6), still available?
    If so, where can I get it?
    Thank you in advance to the Apple community.
    Philippe

    As keith alluded to if you stay with SL and get a version of Aperture that runs on it you will be locked into that. There will be no more updates for Aperture or the Raw Camera bundle.
    So if that version of Aperture supports your camera and you have no plans to change cameras to something that is not supported in that version then you will be fine.
    If you think you might be getting a new camera at some point then you might just want to bit the bullet and do the upgrades now.
    regards

  • Can't Update to  Aperture 2.1.4 on Snow Leopard

    I fresh installed Aperture 2 to my Macbook, running Snow Leopard. When I launch the app it says "You can't use this version of Aperture with this version of OS X."
    I understand I need to update to Aperture 2.1.4 for it to work with Snow Leopard. But when I try to install the update it says: "Aperture 2.0 or later required to install this software."
    What do I do? I can't download and install the full version of the 2.1.4 trial because Apple took it down.
    Thanks!

    I had already deleted the .plist and it didn't make a difference.
    I got it working though. I downloaded the Aperture 2.1.4 Trial linked to at the bottom of this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11645688
    The trial wouldn't install (even after I Appzapped my previous Aperture 2 install). The install would run, say complete, but nothing would be added to the Applications folder.
    I eventually went into the private/var/db/receipts and delete the Aperture files.
    It installed fine after that.

  • I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard.

    I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.
    I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

    Dear Nathan,
    Many thanks. To the best of my memory, that is how I got where I am today. Initially I had one failed setup, then discovered compatibility mode and ran using it.  The result was not an obvious failure, but something was not there because not only were some drivers missing (wi-fi, trackpad, ...) but (much to my disappointment) the 3.1 update would not run. It complained that 3.0 wasn't there. If I hardwired to my home network, the machine would do almost everything I wanted, but the graphics were slow and clumsy. That is when I hunted around for the NVidia driver and downloaded it from NVidia. And that is where I stand now.
    My son found this link http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/01/15/using-boot-camp-to-install-windows-7-on-you r-mac-the-complete-walkthrough/
    which has instructions claiming to do the install straight to Win 7 without using compatibility mode.
    Given that my clumsy efforts to patch things up have probably necessitated a Win 7 deinstall and reinstall to test either your plan or the one my son found, I am inclined to sit tight for a couple of days to see  how much I can learn.
    I appreciate your interest in  this problem, and if you are up for reading the process at the link my son found and commenting, I would be grateful.
    In any case, many thanks, Paul
