Aperture 3 on a MacBook Pro RAW conversion (5d mark II) to JPEG

I work as a professional wedding photographer and just upgraded to Aperture 3. The very first wedding I just exported to JPEG took over 47 hours to convert 820 images. I read somewhere that there is a "glitch" with the 5d Mark II and RAW files and I've done all the memory/safe mode reboots. Is there a fix because I have another wedding to work on and I don't want to upload it to version 3 if it is going to take forever to export the files. Please help.

I've found the fastest way to export to jpg is to select the pix you want in AP3, then just drag them to a folder on the desktop. Its extremely fast.
This uses the Previews that Aperture creates. The size of these Previews can be changed in the Preferences pane.

What is the best way to completely uninstall Aperture from a MacBook Pro?

What is the best way to completely uninstall Aperture from a MacBook Pro.
I just ordered a new MacBook Pro and I want to remove it from my older MacBook Pro.

Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

Processor speed and RAM for Aperture? Comparing MacBook Pros.

I'm about to purchase a macbook pro and thought it best to ask people who are actually using aperture and other image editing software this question. I need to know if a boost in processor speed and video card from the 2.16 to the 2.33 MBP is noticable enough to make a difference. I'm just getting into RAW editing and my iBook can't handle aperture because of the video card, and I don't want to have any problems in the future. Is the price worth the difference?
I've tried posting in other places and have had little response, so I would appreciate it a lot considering I need to purchase today or tomorrow!

All in all, I'd recommend the 2.33 for Aperture. You'll likely keep this laptop for a 2-3 years, so what do the extra dollars give you?
The modest speed bump between 2.16 and 2.33 is OK ... Aperture will use it, esp. since there are 2 x procs. It's really 2 x 10% uplifts, theoretical. You will feel around a 5-10% improvement I suspect.
The bigger reason is the video card VRAM .... 256Mb v 128Mb. VRAM WILL BE USED BY APERTURE and cannot be upgraded later. You soon notice when your RAW's or scanned images are paged from VRAM to main memory and back. Aperture moves the image into VRAM for processing image data using the GPU. More is a good, good thing..... esp. if you ever hang a 2nd monitor off your laptop (which is very common practice).
The additional 1Gb RAM is also needed. Aperture runs like a dog with 8Mpixel plus RAW's on 1Gb RAM and really starts to cruise on 2Gb.
So, you'd need the extra Gb RAM anyway, $175 add-on. That leaves a net of $325, or less than $10/month over the life of your laptop.
All in all then, I'd recommend the 2.33 v 2.16 for Aperture.

Aperture library and macbook pro

I have a G5 and keep my aperture library on a second hard drive in the computer so that my software does not compete with the library, what should I do for my macbook pro since I have only one hard drive, where should I put the aperture library? any suggestions for setting up a good system when using raw files on a lap top?

Are you using managed or referenced files?
I reference the images and both those images and the AP library are on an external FW800 portable drive. Why? Because my MBP's internal drive is not all that large. That works well for me.

Best way to "transfer" Aperture images from MacBook Pro to iMac?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15" to import and edit images (within Aperture and CS6 as an external editor) when I'm out in the field shooting.
I prefer to have all my images in one location and thus desire to copy eveything to my home base iMac when I return home.
What is the best way to "transfer" those images so that my homebase iMac Aperture Library can recognize the new masters and edited versions? Complicating this is the desire to "stamp" each image with a metadata preset upon import that I can do either at the laptop import or upon transfer to the iMac.
I know just enough to be dangerous but clearly there is an optimal way to consolidate and manage images when using two computers.
Welcome any thoughts from fellow photographers!
Chris

Thanks Kirby. I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library. So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop. By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

Installing previously purchased boxed Aperture on new MacBook Pro.

My old Mac Pro has kicked the bucket so I have purchased a new MacBook Pro with no CD/DVD drive. My past purchases of Aperture were in the form of Aperture 2 and the upgrade to Aperture 3, both in box form. The only place that I can find a download of an installation copy of Apeture is at the App Store but then I'd have to repurchase it.
I called Apple but the support people just sent me a form to fax proof of purchase for a serial replacement. I'm not sure that's what I need.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Julianne

Julianne, the last Aperture 3 installer (the Trial installer) is no longer available for download, sorry.
You need to find a way to read your installer CD/DVD. Can anybody, who owns a Mac with a CD/DVD drive help you to burn a disk image of your Aperture 3 installer DVD to a thumbs drive? Or could you borrow an external DC/DVD drive? Then you could run the Aperture installer from that disk image and immediately upgrade to Aperture 3.4.5 by downloading the 3.4.5 upgrade from Apple's support page.
See: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch the updated version and enter your serial numbers for Aperture 2 und 3.
After that, you should be able to update to Aperture 3.5 from the App Store.
If you cannot copy your installer CD/DVD to a thumbsdrive, try to restore Aperture from your backup. How did you migrate the data from your old mac? Did you run Migration Assistant, using a Time Machine backup?
To restore Aperture from your backup, copy the Aperture application to your Applications folder. Also you need to migrate the folders
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/ from your old Macintosh HD and
~//Library/Application Support/Aperture/ from your Home folder.
But running the installer would be much preferable.

Aperture 3 to MacBook Pro Retina Display

I just purchased a MacBook Pro with the Retina Display, and since there is no DVD Drive, I am wondering if it is possible to download Aperture 3 if I still have the box with the label? I don't want to buy something for which I've already paid.

You can download the Aperture Trial installer and unlock it with your serial key:
Download it here Aperture 3.1 Trial
After running the installer update immediately from the -menu > Software Update. Then launch Aperture and enter the serial number from your installer disk.
If your Aperture version should be an upgrade from Aperture 1 or Aperture 2 you will also have to enter the previous serial numbers.
Regards
Léonie

Aperture 2 on Macbook Pro (LIon)

I use Aperture 2 on my iMac (snow leopard).
I bought a new MacBook Pro (Lion) and want to put
Aperture 2 on the Macbook then upgrade to Aperture 3.
The Macbook won't take it. Tells me Aperture is not compatible.
I need a photo organizer/editor for the MacBook and if aperture 2 won't
work, does anyone have another suggestion as to what I can do or use.
I'd rather not use full Photoshop (too expensive) and I'm told that
Photoshop Elements 10 will not read Apertures photo library.
Ideas ... anyone .... please.

For anyone who may be interested..... after a little bit of hassle finally spoke with a
techie in the aperture department.
It seems Aperture 2 is not compatible with the Lion (OS 10.7.1)
You need Aperture 3 (no surprise there).
You can download Aperture 3 from the app store for $80.
Aperture 2's library will be recignized by the Mark 3 program and will be
updated to work with Aperture 3 ...which will make it unuseable by Aperture 2.
upshot is .... if you upgrade to Apert 3 ..you gotta do it on all your computers
or not at all.
actively looking at Photoshop Elements 10 instead. At least that way I can use the same program on all my ,machines and download from one to the other without compatibility problems.

Why does my MacBook Pro screen have white marks on it and how do I get rid of it?

My MacBook Pro started having these white marks right in the middle of the screen and I don't know how to get rid of it. I brought this MacBook online so I only have the invoice from seller. Is this sufficient evidence to show apple to replace under warranty?

you will have to bring it to apple so that they can determine that.

Macbook Pro - Folder w/Question Mark; Internet Recovery

Hello everyone,
I have a 13" Macbook Pro that I purchased (new) in February 2013.
Yesterday I was working on it with an external mouse plugged into one USB, a bicycle light charger plugged into the other USB, and an external monitor connected in that port with the Apple connector, plus the power cord was plugged in. I had Word documents open, an Excel doc as well, plus iTunes running, and I had Chrome open as my browser. I had to quickly leave so unplugged all of them quickly, then closed the cover.
A few hours later when I opened the computer I had no cursor. I gave it a few minutes to "wake up" but nothing happened. I then turned the computer off with the power button. When it came back on I had a folder with a question mark and it was blinking.
In looking through the discussion forums, I tried holding down the Control button. This too me to Internet Recovery. Now I'm at the OS X Utilities and it has four options: Restore from Time Machine, Reinstall OS X, Get Help Online, or Disk Utility.
I back up the computer frequently with T.M. to an external HD, but I'd rather not erase the HD and start over.
I have seen some suggest resetting the PRAM when this issue occurs. As the computer was not dropped, I hope it was more of an overload issue when I unplugged so many things at once and shut it down.
I am definitely not a skilled computer fixer, so wanted to see if anyone with more knowledge could offer the best steps to take.
Thank you!

The folder with question mark means your firmware doesn't know what or where is your volume it's supposed to boot from normally.
1: Shutdown the machine by pressing and holding the power button.
2: Press and hold the option/alt key down. Boot the machine.
3: Startup Manager appears and hopefully your boot drive (along with RecoveryHD) appears, select your boot drive and click the arrow.
4: In System Preferences, set your statup disk again. Done.
Folder with question mark issue
If this fails to work, then do reset the NVRAM and try the steps above again.
If your boot volume fails to appear, then your OS X is corrupt and is not recognized as a bootable option, but it can be fixed.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
The worst thing is your boot drive is dead, lets hope you have backups of your data off the machine.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

MacBook Pro with flashing 'Question Mark Folder'

I have a relatively new MacBook Pro that recently had the hard drive wiped clean. I would like to use it but do not have the Mac OS X discs that came with it. I do have a set that came with an older unit but they won't work. Any suggestions?

Here is some info on MacBook Pro (17-inch mid 2010) which matches the A1297 model code. You can have Mac OS X 10.6 installed from the retail disk purchased from apple and then to 10.6.8 (free combo update download or software update). From 10.6.8 you can upgrade to 10.9 if desired (free) via the App store.

MacBook Pro Retina Display - Keyboard Marking Screen

Hello,
The keyboard on my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display is leaving marks on the screen. They wash off with a damp soft cloth. Any suggestions to stop the problem.
Thanks
Joe

In my opinion this is a defect in your MacBook Pro. The tolerances are extremely tight. The keys should not come into contact with your screen whatsoever. I would call Apple tech support to see if it warrants a replacement if you want. I even had a retina MacBook Pro for a couple weeks (before I returned it because of image retention issue in LG display) and there was never any key marks on the screen. If you have a Samsung display though I would be hesitant asking for a replacement.
