Aperture 3.0 slower than version 2

Hi,
I recently purchased Aperture 3 because of the new features which I think are really good. Furthermore I expected version 3 at lease a little bit faster than older versions.
In contrary Aperture 3 is as slow as it can be! It regularly stops my entire system and I have to shut down Aperture to i.e. read my emails.
The work with MobileMe galeries doesn't work at all. When I start Aperture I change the sorting criteria for my Aperture galleries and it always sets it back to "manual". I really don't expect that in a professional software.
I don't have a slow machine running here. It's a late 2008 MacBook Pro with seperate graphics chip. It's always set to maximum power. But if running Aperture it's like working with my first G3 233 MHz.
When does Apple finally release a software update which solves all the problems with Aperture? It is really annoying. I should have purchased Lightroom and not the all new Aperture version.
Luckily I didn't have the problems with importing my Aperture 2 library.
Thanks for your answers.

Aperture 3 is easily faster than version 2 on my 2008 macbook pro with 10.6.
Are you running the latest aperture 3 updates and prokit updates? If not, run software update, if you are - go to the finder and move everything to the trash that is inside these folders:
Hard Drive/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/System/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/Users/(Your user)/Library/Caches
Also delete this file:
Hard Drive/Users/(Your user)/Preferences/com.apple.aperture.plist
Reboot... It will take a little bit. Report back if this works.

  • Anyone else's Snow Leopard running slower than version 10.5?

    My hard drive crashed a few weeks ago and I decided to have the Apple Store upgrade my operating system to 10.6.3 and I have found that it's slower than the previous version. Also, Adobe InDesign doesn't print from the new version.
    Is anyone having these problems?? This could make me revert back to a PC

    Well, yes, if it was a new HD and your old drive was dead, they would have had to do an install from scratch.
    If the old drive was still running they would have done an upgrade & migrate unless you told them otherwise. Problem with migrating is often higher powered apps like CS3, Final Cut, Aperture, etc. don't run well if at all and you end up having to do an erase & install anyway.
    What is the exact model iMac you have, and how much RAM? What HD did you buy?
    CS3 is old at this point and my understanding is Adobe does not support it on Snow Leopard. Are you experiencing the slowness just with CS3 or with everything (say, Safari, Office, iTunes, etc?)

  • Version 22 slower than version 19 for javascript

    Go look here, i was testing something...than realized there is update did it and went from
    550million operations to 140 million operations after updating from v19 to v22.
    http://jsperf.com/object-dot-vs-bracket
    Why and how can i fix it if i can be fixed.
    Very unexpected though. Upgrades suppose to improve all around.
    I did factory reset too to fix it, but didn't work.

    Firefox 23 is faster than all of them.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.5 makes Aperture 3.1 slower. What gives?

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Aperture 3.1 1290000.2 in an attempt to make Aperture faster, but instead Aperture is now SLOWER than on Leopard! I am using an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB SDRAM, with the library located on my internal drive.
    I have several thousand photos stored there, and am really, really annoyed that photos take several seconds to "load," and projects can take take 10 seconds to open. It seems to be i nearly constant "Processing" mode.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it fixable?

    I would second that, 2GB is not enough to be running Ap.
    Also for speeding up the system try some of the following.
    Delete your Ap Preferences, I did yesterday for another reason and was blown away at the speed difference I gained without meaning to.
    Run some System Maintenance with Disk Utility and an application like Onyx
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    Use the Aperture Library First Aid tools, this will fix any glitches in the library.

  • New router M1424WR (ver. I) is slower than ver. C for wireless--why?

    I installed a new Actiontec MI424WR (ver. I) router, which I bought from Verizon to replace my version C router. The new router is fine for wired connections but slow for wireless.  If I set my laptop right next to the router, the speed is fine.  If I set the laptop 20 feet away, in a straight line with no obstructions between it and the router, the speed drops by 50-90 percent. Overall, I find the version I router worse than the version C.  FYI, the laptop is new, superfast, and has wireless-n. Is it normal to find the version I router slower than version C?  I would like to find a solution. Otherwise, I suppose I will have to return the new $100 router.  I tried Verizon's chat support, but the tech simply told me that walls etc. can slow down wireless speed--not useful info, given that the version C was running faster under the same conditions here. Are there some special tricks to make the version C router work better?  The new router also seems less able to send signals through walls and floors, which should not be the case.  I feel disappointed that Verizon pushed the sale of the new router; the upgrade has been a time-consuming downgrade.  Thank you.

    Try changing the channels on the router. 1, 6, 11. Most likely its set to 6 so try the other 2. You can download a free program called inSSIDer which will help you figure out what the best channel for you to be using is.

  • Why does the new version FireFox run slower than the old one?

    I have a fairly new computer but Firefox runs slower than the older version. Can this be remedied?

    That does not sound right. I recommend rebuilding your VI. Beore you do, open the top level VI and press contol-shift-run arrow to perform a manual binary recompile. This makes LabVIEW recompile the whole code. Most times you will not see anything happen but occasionally an error will surface. Be sure to save the VI then rebuild it.
    You may also need to reinstall the LabVIEW run time engine and/or LabVIEW. I would start with the run time engine first.

  • Can VI Logger full version collect slower than 10 Hz?

    I am using Logger Lite to collect data over prolonged periods (weeks to months) and would be happy with data collection rates of several seconds to several minutes between points.  Logger Lite will not allow collection slower than 10 hz.  The product sheet for Logger Full just says it supprts "low-speed and high-speed" logging.  What does this mean?  Does this mean that I can collect slower than 10 Hz?  Thanks...

    Hi!
    I have been looking into your issue, and I imagine I understand why you would want to do this.  You must be getting hundreds of results in a row that obtains the same value.  In looking into what these "low-speed and high-speed" logging rates would be, I have found that they again range between 10 Hz and 60 Hz.  Therefore, for your application it doesn't seem that VI logger is the right solution for you.  I would recommend looking into some of our other solutions.  For instance, if you were to use a version of LabVIEW, you would be able to create an application that could obtain values at most any rate you desired.  Also, SignalExpress is another method that should have much more control than VI Logger. 
    I hope this information has been helpful.  I would start by checking out the following product pages, and going from there.

  • Possible answer to LR 2.6 & 2.7 Seeming to run slower than earlier versions

    I just downloaded and unpgraded from LR 2.6 to 2.7 on a Windows Vista 64-bit machine.  Version 2.6 seemed to run a lot slower than 2.5.  When I read the LR2.7 readme file on the download page I noticed one of the known issues is that at least ver. 2.7 runs slower when there are lots of files in the recycle bin. after I upgraded I emptied the recycle bin (Of almost 3000 files), and yes indeed performance did improve - dramatically.  This also improved performance on LR 3 Beta 2.

    Thanks for the suggestions.  I have tried each idea in the order suggested. Unfortunately I have not yet solved the problem.  In some circumstances, with certain paper profiles and no other color management in place, I get faulty prints but they have large areas of solid color in areas where there is a large amounts of color saturation in the original image. The faulty image below is printed to plain letter-sized paper ar Normal Quality. One clarification I wish to make is that my HP printer driver was not specifically a 64-bit driver, but rather 32-bit/64-bit driver compatable for Win 7.
    I may try completely uninstalling LR before reinstalling, instead of a "repair-install" but I am still open to other suggestions.

  • In older version I had modified .JS in nsloginmanager to allow remembering my bank sites etc. How do I do that now. By the way 4.0 is slower than 3.6

    How do I do that now. By the way 4.0 is slower than 3.6. Your new look sucks requires more clicks. I used it a day and had to go back to 3.6

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • Firefox 4 is slow in loading web pages, much slower than previous version. WHY?

    I am having problems with slow loading of pages, slower than Explorer for the same page for example.
    What can be done?

    Have you tried (1) restarting your router, and (2) resetting the wifi on the iPad?  To do #2, go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. 

  • Can I use aperture library on more than one machine

    My situation is thus:
    I have a Macbook Pro on which my Aperture Library resides, in wherever Aperture decided to put it when I bought the software.
    I now have a iMac, which obviously will be better than the Macbook for photo editing.
    But I want to be able to take my Aperture Library with me when I take the Macbook out and about, and if necesary still edit on the Macbook.
    Is there any way to share the Aperture Library, so that I can edit on the iMac, but leave the library on the Macbook, and then edit on the Macbook if I wish.
    I am the only user, and will only be using Aperture on one machine at any one time.
    I have searched archives but not managed to find the answer.

    Is it possible to simply share the directory that contains the necessary file(s).
    If your Library is in the location that aperture picks by default, then it will be in your "Pictures" folder - look for a file with a name like "Aperture Library. aplibrary".
    What you will need to share depends on your import strategy for the master images. If you use managed masters, and all your master images reside inside the Aperture library, then you simply need to make this library file accessible  or copy it to an external disk.
    If on the other hand your masters are referenced, then I would recommend to consolidate them into the library before you share the library and then share the consolidated library.
    If you will share your library over the network or just by moving it to an external device is really up to you, but you might consider  the following pros and cons:
    - If you want to profit from the faster CPU on your iMac, then you should keep the library on the fastes volume that is available, and a network volume might be much slower than a directly connected volume.
    - if the network fails during a critical operation your library might get corrupted, if it resides on a network volume - there have been quite a few problems reported in this forum.
    That is why I suggested to use your Macbook as directly mounted external volume, that leaves the library in its place on the Macbook Pro - no need to copy - and you have a very quick and stable connection,  but the decision is yours to make. You will have to be comfortable with the workflow you choose.

  • Flash player 10.1 slower than 10

    At least, that's how it is on my secondary computers. On my Dell Inspiron B120, flash 10.1 latest is like a train wreck when it comes to playing Youtube videos in full screen. Disabling hardware acceleration helped a little, but this shouldn't be happening as I uninstalled 10.1 and installed an archived version of Flash 10 with much better playback AND with h/w acceleration enabled. The laptop uses XP SP3 and Firefox.
    Simply put, Flash 10.1 feels a lot slower than 10 on my Dell laptop (1.4 GHz celeron-M, intel 915g video, 512 mb ram)
    And there's another odd but minor problem I seem to be having with is flash animations on my main computer and any other computer/laptop I have using Flash 10.1. I get this alternating 'lag' every few seconds; it's like the computer is dropping frames because the CPU can't keep up. I could completely understand this, but this is happening on practically any flash animation I throw at the computer. I just tested a flash movie (SWF format) on my main computer (2.8 GHz AMD Athlon x2 240; 2 gb ram, Windows 7 x64, Firefox) and I get this irritating choppy lag here and there. Again, with the previous Flash version 10, I did NOT have this problem AT ALL. Everything was silky smooth; the only benefit I'm getting from Flash 10.1 is x264 hardware acceleration for my ATI Radeon 4200 HD. Before anyone asks, all of my computers were using the latest flash version AND video drivers prior to these tests.
    I am VERY frustrated with these problems as I've posted a similar thread twice now in the past. No one seems to be answering or helping me with this; Those that do reply simply claim that they're having the same problem.
    Adobe, please look into this problem. Eventually Youtube and several other sites will force me to upgrade my laptop to Flash 10.1.

    Has Adobe fixed the problems with version 10,1,82,76 of flash player ?
    I compared it and found nothing but problems.
    I then uninstalled 10,1,82,76 and rolled back to 10,0,12,36 which works fine on Firefox and Opera but I can't install 10,0,12,36 on Exploer or Chrome
    it keeps telling me there is a new version even when I try to install it from local drive with a archived version.
    With all the complaints about 10,1,82,76 and the lack of response from Adobe on any fixes I will not be using Adobe auto updates until I let some
    other poor guinea pigs suffer all the bugs and problems first.
    You would expect a large company to have better development and testing before imposing buggy upgardes on us.

  • Why is InDesign CC significantly SLOWER than CS6?

    InDesign CC is noticeably SLOWER in almost every aspect and functionality than is the latest version of InDesign CS6 on my computer (OSX 10.9.4, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 27 inch iMac). I have stopped using Indesign CC and now only use CS6 to create and adjust documents.
    Can any staff or special users in this forum detail ADOBE's understanding or response to complaints of this nature?
    This situation does not bode well for me, given the coerced direction Adobe is taking users of its creative suite (towards cloud based subscription systems).

    I rebuilt all my preferences and that led to some kind of discovery. Starting InDesign CC everthing works ok (though the drawing tools are slightly slower than in CS6, creating a new page for example is much faster). All the following things mainly have an impact on drawing tools (pen tool, rectangle tool etc. placing multiple images is also affected but maybe because an image frame has to be drawn). After activating the application frame things start to slow down a bit. If I open the collapsed panels on right side things get slowed down again and the biggest hit on performance is evident when the information panel is open.
    I wanted to record a screen-capture again but this is so slow that it does not represent the bug accurately. And I guess this has something to do with the user interface because all is linked to interface actions (application frame, opening/collapsing panels, showing the information panel)
    Once again my system specs (when experiencing the issues half of my RAM was still free with Safari, Mail and InDesign CS6 and CC open for comparison):
    InDesign CC (German)
    Mac OS 10.8.4
    MacBook Pro 17inch
    8 GB RAM
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i7

    Matt:
    Thanks for the update. It is good to know that the maintenance procedures helped. Regular maintenance and a good backup are key to computer security. Gulliver's article has a suggested schedule. Dr. Smoke's FAQ on Backup and Recovery has excellent information and advice. I part company with him on his insistence on Retrospect, which I have found to be difficult to use. SuperDuper has been shown the best backup software in these tests.
    If you usually leave your computer on or asleep, it is good practice to shut down and start up in Safe Mode occausionally. I do it about once weekly.
    Good luck.
