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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
iMac7.1 2.4 Ghz Memory 1Gb
Aperture doesn't work at all on my MBA 1.6
Apple store told me it would work but be slow. I recognize minimum OS is 2Mhz

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.

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.

Transfer photos from iphoto to Aperture with snow leopard, how?

hi all
how can i transfer photos from iphoto (in power book G5) To Aperture ( in MacBook Pro 17" with snow leopard), with same albums arrangement???? thanks

yi1gaka wrote:
1- the size of iphoto library is 6GB, but in aperture its 11GB, y?
I think it's because you have the original images plus copies with any adjustments you made in iPhoto. It could also have to do with Aperture generating Previews.
2- now to copy the another iphoto library from the second old machine, i will replace its library with the iphoto library of new machine then copy it in aperture library, and after that i can delete the iphoto library to save hard space. is that correct? thanks
Just make sure you keep the copies on the old machines until you've backed up your new Aperture Library and made sure that everything is there. IMPORTANT: make sure that you chose to copy the images into your Aperture Library instead of keeping them in their current location. If you left them in the iPhoto Library and you delete that library, you delete your images!

Aperture 1.5 on a new MB Pro with Snow Leopard

Just tried to install my old Aperture on my new MB with Snow Leopard. Didn't work. Is there a fix for this other than buying the 3.0 update.

It won't run on that OS, and you can't install an earlier OS on that hardware.
The good news is that you're eligible for the upgrade price- US$99.

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.

HP 1312nfi Multi-funtion printer & brand new Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard

Hi,
I just got my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard May 2010. I can only print and fax with my 1 year old HP 1312nfi color laserjet multi-function printer. I cannot SCAN at all. I tried loading the software that came with the printer but it wouldn't install the 'Print Director' as I had on my old iMac (with Leopard). Then I went to HP and it said not to install the software that came with the HP printer because Snow Leopard has it all. I read that there are 3 ways to scan from my computer which none of them work. I brought up the printer then clicked printer setup and when I try to bring up the 'print utility' from the last tab, it won't open anything. Where is the printer utility now? Why can't I scan? There has to be a way. HELP please?

Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!
