Aperture 3.6 brushes barely working

Can anyone tell me if they experienced the same problem? None of the brushes are working well. Example, I have skin softening selected, brush size ~55, softness 1, strength 1, radius 10, detail 0.75, and intensity 0.5, yet when I go over a section of a face I have to toggle M to see any difference, and even then it is so faint that it's barely noticeable. I tried blur with all settings to the max and, again, only notice it when I toggle between M, and then barely.

Ah, thanks. I guess I was just expecting too much, especially from blur.
Hi Mike,
I suspect there is still something not right. I took the time to do a partial gamut sample; it should give you an idea of what blur amounts should look like from 5 to 100, and what brush strengths look like, from 50% to 100%.
Are you sure the brush HUD is set the way I specified earlier?

I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

No... do not move programs.

Since I upgraded to Mavericks, Finder, Word 2008, and Adobe Products barely work

I upgraded my 2010 MacBook Pro to Mavericks a few months ago. Since the upgrade things have spun out of control. The finder barely works. It takes minutes (yes, minutes) to open and look through folders. The spinning color wheel seems to run constantly. On a related note, it takes between 10-60 seconds to find and open an email attachment (from gmail to computer) or word/excel/pdf file from any of those software packages. Lastly, word 2008 and even the new Adobe Pro seem to crash regularly now. Any idea what is happening? I took my machine into a "geek" and they suggested I get a new hard drive. I paid $200+ for all of the diagnostics and the new drive and the problems persist.

HT5594 Has anyone noticed that since downloading IOS 7, that Find my Friends, is not working that well. It consistently shows my daughter in the River, when she is at home. It worked great before the download, and now it is barely working.

My daughter and I both have an Iphone 4S. We use Friend finder to locate each other when we are in different parts of the state. It worked wonderfully for like a year, until we downloaded IOS 7, and now it barely works. Whenever she drives out of her neighborhood it seems to kick in and work ok, but still not great. When she goes back to her apatment it shows her at her address for a split second, then it quickly jumps to another location far from where is actually is. I also downloaded another Family finder app, and it shows the exact same thing. I have a GPS tracker in the car, and it works just fine up there in the same neighborhood, so I don't know how the technology is different. Can anyone help because she is 7 hours away from where I am in school, and I worry!!

Thanks to all, tried both suggestions and they worked wonderfully, seems to be all OK now. Many thanks again!

Adjustment brush not working on new Mac with Snow Leopard

Just purchased a new computer a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if something is incompatible or something else. I'm can't remember if the brush ever worked on the new machine. Also updated to Snow leopard 16.2 during this period.
I see the adjustment brush and can change it's size and feathering, flow and density are set at 100%, masking is off, it set down control points, but that's it. It makes no visible changes to the image in any mode. If I put exposure at 4 stops and place it on a mid-tone there is no change to the image, either in Lightroom or upon export.
I've run permissions checks, trashed the preferences and repaired the drive with Diskwarrior all to no avail.
Lightroom 2.5, Power Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 6 GB of factory installed memory, Snow Leopard 16.2
Should I try a fresh install of Lightroom??

Sorry,
My post above should have read Mac Pro. I recently switched and keep getting the names mixed up. Doesn't help that they look the same.

After Updating to iOS 7.0.4, Dictation Is Barely Working Again!

Well, after updating to iOS 7.0.4 today, dictation is barely working again!
After the previous problems with Dictation were fixed with 7.0.3, it was working really well for the last few weeks, but for some reason, it seems the new 7.0.4 update has messed it up again. Is anyone else experiencing this? Can this be reported to Apple somehow so maybe it can be fixed without having to wait as long as we had to wait last time?

My spot healing brush stopped working

My spot healing brush stopped working. After releasing the mouse, it blinks and remains black. If I do another spot, the first spot is fixed and the second one is black. And so on. This began after updating to 12.0.4 x64 (Mac 10.7.3)*

Try resetting the brush tool. Right click on the brush tool in upper left corner and select reset tool.

Accelerometer Barely Works in Native Apps, Perfectly Fine in 3rd Party Apps

Slightly weird issue. I had the issue in 2.2.1 but I'd hoped it would resolve itself when I installed 3.0. Basically Changing orientation in Safari will pretty much not work at all, or in email, messaging etc. But if I run a 3rd party app that relies on the accelerometer, it works perfectly fine. For example I restored my phone entirely with 3.0, no jailbreaking, nor did I restore my backup from iTunes, so a completely clean iPhone, no data or 3rd party apps at all. It still didn't work, I installed a Liquid simulator app which I thought would make a good tester, and once again, perfectly fine, not a single issue. For the record, the accelerometer in native apps isn't entirely dead, shake to shuffle works fine, and there was one point where I had the phone on it's side for a while and it eventually dropped to landscape, but then I couldn't get it back again.
So what more can I do? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? I can only assume I can rule out a hardware issue since the liquid app works fine.
So to summarise:
3.0 Software, clean install, no backup restored. Accelerometer barely works in native apps. 3rd party apps, all works fine.

sounds like a good reason to go to telstra and demand the 3gs as a replacement for your faulty phone

Safari barely works. VERY SLOW.

Three days ago, March 27, evening, Pacific Daylight Time, I tried to download something from iTunes from my Mac. I had always used my iPad before. It downloaded it, then when I went to play it, it said the Mac was not authorized and window came up asking for my password. I entered and it said "Already authorized". Over and over, no matter what I did. I fiddled around a bit, nothing worked. I looked in help forums, nothing worked.
Finally I gave up. The music I had downloaded was accessible from my iPad so I just moved on and decided never to use the Mac to download from iTunes again. I have just the two, iPad and Mac.
Next morning, Friday, when I turned the Mac on, it sat there for about ten minutes and then asked for my password (not my usual way of getting on. I am the sole user). I thought it must be connected to my previous night's adventure with iTunes.
The system was barely working. Restarted two or three times. After that, I could get to Gmail with Safari.
But Safari was barely functional. I thought it was my ISP, waited a day or two.
But other people in the house who do not have Macs are finding no trouble with the internet.
Still, I cannot use Safari. It is so slow as to be useless. I've tried deleting cookies and clearing cache. Does nothing.
The sites I am trying to get to are large and well known, like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Reuters.
Oddly enough, I can access still Gmail and Blogger no problem. But the news sites, forget it.
Because it started at the same time as the iTune glitch and the strange behaviour of the Mac the next morning, I wonder if it is somehow connected.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Aperture serial number does not work

I just got a Mac Book Air, my Aperture Serial number does not work. it tells me it is not correct. How can I use my software now?

First how did you purchase Aperture and how did you install it on the Air? As the Air does not have a DVD drive it would help to know how you got the app onto it.
Start with Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers and see if that helps.
There is also Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers if you're not able to get your serial number working.

Brushes stopped working properly (CC)

So the brushes were working just fine, Then I closed my project and started another project and the brushes were not working anymore... Any brush I pick up it just try to redraw the background image... If there's no background the brush just draws nothing... I tired everything I could, Reseting preferences files, reseting tools and everything. What can I do?

I'm doing everything that I used to do, And using all the tools I used to use. (History Brush Tool)
Here's a screenshot after brushing the whole canvas several times and there's nothing on the canvas...!!

Why can't i get my brushes to work?

Why can't I get my brushes to work??

Insufficient incantations...
In all seriousness, we're not the NSA and can't see your screen or what you've done to Photoshop.
Imagine if someone asked you the above question, without telling you anything else.
Consider perhaps providing a bit more detail please.
