Aperture running very slow under Lion

Lift and stamp adjustments takes forever and Processing of images takes hours under Lion OS.....may have to switch back to Snow Lepard

My Aperture 3 is medium fast after a reboot (8-core MacPro, 6 GIG), but starts to get really slow after the swap file size gets above 100 meg). I then need to reboot BEFORE Aperture freezes up on me.
A3/64 was FAST under Snow Leopard... still got slow once in a while. It is happening way more often under Lion.
There are about 10+ threads on this -- Apple, please acknolege you are aware of the problem and working on a fix

To add on to Corky02 answer:
The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or ill-designedAperture databases.
Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

Why aperture running very slow?

I just installed additional ram and the other day aperture was running extremely slow. The only other application was iphoto.
How much CPU power does aperture require?
thanks.

After consolidating iPhoto pictures into Aperture Library - and having to rebuild library all photos are shown under "Other" in storage under About this Mac. How do I get photos back into the Photo section. I am sure this is why Aperture is running very slow. Aperture library is on a 500 GB external USB hard drive. Does anyone know how to get photos into the right spot in the storage.
Nothing in my experience would make me draw the same conclusion (that the reporting of your Aperture Library as "Other" is why Aperture is running slowly). You report that your Library is on an external drive connected via USB. Is this USB 2 or USB 3?
The consensus is to put your Library on your fastest (lowest latency and highest throughput) drive. This is almost always your system drive. If your Library does not fit on your system drive, you are advised to move some or all of your Images' Master from the Library to a second drive using "File→Relocate Masters". If you want help with these set-ups, post back.

Aperture 3 very slow on lion

running on my macbook pro 2.66 ghz core 2 duo with 4 MB of ram, aperture 3 was lightning-fast in snow leopard, now is mud-slow in lion. as in *unbelievably* slow. is a fix coming?
f

I had taken the route, over time, of installing Lipn, ontop of SL, ontop of Leopard -- after the upgrade to Lion, Aperture became painfully sluggish. After scouring user forums and a lot of Google searching, I found the one suggestion where you delete cache from a couple directores and a .plist from Aperture. No real difference.
Finally, after, what I would assume to be frustration and morbid curiosity, I used Onyx's automation clean up tools (checked everything but reindex Spotlight), and went the route of trashing my preferences. Full contents.
Long story short, Aperture is in the process of importing and processing about 59k photos and remaining much much more responsive. Instead of taking 36 hrs to complete like before, it's on track to complete everything in about 6.
Lion, as a whole, also seems snappier.
We'll see what happens when Aperture completes processing, but I am a lot more optimistic. I suppose should THAT fail, i'll go the clean-install route.
But, yeah, installing OS ontop of OS ontop of OS is never a good idea, no matter what anyone says -- you wind up with some cross tangled schmutz...

MacBook Pro, MacBook Pro2,1 Running Very Slow Under Mavericks

I have been having extreme slowness issues with lots of SBOD spinning delays since upgrading my older MacBook Pro to Mavericks last month. It takes forever to "see" and run a back-up on my G Drive Time Machie drive, which has been historically very speedy and reliable. It should not take 5 hours to back up to the daily Time Machine drive, which at most took 20 minutes, maybe 30 if I installed new OS X software upgrades or updates. Sometimes when I run my third party software (much of it from MicroSoft Office, FileMaker, and the second to latest Adobe Master Collection Suite), I get more SBODs and some hiccuping until the software/document boots up. As recently as Mountain Lion, this was never an issue before, normal things that just ran seemlessly without thinking. Very occasionally even when shutting down, the finder loses track of what it is doing. When I do the Force Quit thing because third party software or the Finder Launcher has become "not resposive," even this can take a long time. I am wondering if this has to do with Mavericks bug/feature of rationing out unused memory, which my memory chips may not like on my bottom of the compatibility bracket machine spectrum. Is there perhaps a need for a more up to date firmware version for my model?
I have tried all available software testing options, and I found nothing that seemed amiss in the software end at all. I cannot access anything like Apple Hardware Test to assess and hardware problems either via my proprietary Mavericks-installed bootable OS X and Utilities partition or via the Apple Support Site to see if a dying hard drive is the culprit.
FYI About this Mac, which Apple's Support Site swears will work with Mavericks.
Model: MacBook Pro, MacBook Pro3,1 (late 2007 - early 2008) (17", 2.6 GHz)(Built as an online order, to my specifications)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
Hard Drive: 250 GB (SATA Disk) (64.83 MB Available To Me, Remainder Taken Up By Apple OS X proprietary partition)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
Built-In Display: 17" (1920 x 1200)
Memory: 4 GB 667 MHrz DDR2 SDRAM (2 Banks of 2 MB each) (Full complement)
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B07
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-001EC2127516
SMC Hardware Version: 1.18ƒ5
Current Version of Mavericks: OS X 10.9.2, Original Installed Version: Mavericks OS X 10.9.0 (13C64)
When I installed the new system software from the App Store, I did remember to disable my Norton Security Suite, so the download and installation should have been clean and unimpeded. There were no reported problems with the installation or the upgrade process. I chose the option at original installation to upgrade my laptop using the "migrate from my latest Time Machine Backup feature" to preserve the third party applications and settings.
My Firmware was all up to date, according to the Apple Support Page articles relating to my model. All permissions checked out OK as did all verification tests on the Mountain Lion Apple Partition (the one accessed via restarting with Command-R) before I started.
Since Apple has not been willing to release its system core software to the third- party makers of my Optimizing software (Disk Warrior, Alsoft), I have not been able to optimize the contents of my hard drive since the version that came out with Lion OS X 10.7; this may be a possible source of my problem. If my files are badly fragmented, it is difficult for the Finder to find and work with Apps and Documents, most especially with any great speed. I attempted to do likewise with TechTool Pro 7.x (MicroMat); likewise they could not optimize or check out my whole hard drive volume. A suggested solution of installing a Bootable drive into Apple's proprietary OS partition sounds like it would erase the Mavericks OS X/ Diagnostic Drive rather than be added to it. Could Apple work with Alsoft and MicroMat, so they can make current Boot-Up disks that would again allow me to optimize my entire HD volume? Otherwise, could Apple write its own optimization suite to help speed up my hard drive, if it is unwilling to share its operating code with third-party diagnostic software developers?
Then I thought of using Apple Hardware Test using the familiar Command-D from the Apple proprietary partiion (that was expected to still be included with the OS X Mavericks original upload from the App Store. I found it was not installed despite following the Apple Support Page directions and nothing including ethernet connected. When I tried to connect via the alternate method from the Apple Support Cloud using Option-D, my laptop found nothing at Apple's end. Does such diagnostic software still exist, or has this been scrapped. It would be an imptant tool to use to see if the source
I rerun Permissions and Verification in Command-R mode periodically since upgrading to Mavericks., and all permissions and disk integrity from this test have been corrected and updated as of today. Everything checks out as just fine in terms of software. I am out of ideas of what else to check from my end. Unless anyone in the Apple Support Community has any other good suggestions as to what might be wrong (other than an Apple software tweak) that I can do at my home office, I will have to take my poor laptop over to the nearest Apple Genius Bar and turn my older laptop over to a hardware technician at full cost (Applecare has long since run out).
All suggestions for fixes are welcomed.

Aperture running VERY SLOW

I have a Mac Pro with 12 GB memory. My Aperture library is ~500 GB with ~89,500 photos. It took Aperture 3 overnight to convert my Aperture 2 library, hung itself at 69% completion, then took > 12 hours to process "faces". Nothing else was running on my Mac Pro during this time. It was using at least 8 GB of memory during the processes. Memory hog? Wow. What are you folks doing with a less beefy Mac? I won't even bring this beast near my MacBookPro.

I thought you may be interested in my experiences, as I consider myself a "normal" professional user, with normal kit and normal work patterns.
First, my kit. I use a Macbook Pro 17" 2.4GHz, 2Gb RAM, running Snow Leopard. My Aperture library is 300Gb in size on a 1Tb drive. The vault is on an identical drive, and they are all connected by Firewire 800. I honestly think this is a typical setup for a average pro photographer in the real world who isn't Annie Liebowitz. I have used Aperture 2 since it came out, and am really impressed with it. Means I hardly ever use PS now!
And now, the update...
I followed the instructions, installed, and restarted. I got the "Update your Library" message, and clicked OK. The bar progressed its stately way, and around 48 HOURS later, it reached the end. Through the whole process, I kept Activity Monitor running, and I can see why people think their machine has frozen. But it hasn't, it's just working away and swapping files.
SO, I thought that was that. Did a bit of work, fired up Aperture again, and got the spinning "Processing..." indicator. Aperture works, albeit very sluggishly, so I opened the Activity window in Aperture, and it said "Processing Library"! Haven't I just spent 48 hours doing that??? SO... 60 hours later, it finishes that, and Aperture now works as I would expect. Now the sensible thing to do is that having checked the Library and seen everything is there, is to back it up to the Vault. Now here I am 12 hours later, and it isn't even half done yet! Activity Monitor shows me that it is transferring data. It's certainly still working, one file at a time. I cannot open Aperture's Activity window whilst it is backing up the Library to the Vault.
Observation One: Apple's own observation that "this will take a while, maybe overnight..." is way off in the real world. Have they actually tested this with real photographers in the real world, rather than advertising agency high flyers who have the absolute best of all kit?
Observation Two: When you first open Aperture 3, the prominent buttons on the toolbar for Facebook, Flickr, Faces and Places tell you that Apple has lost the plot. These are all good in iPhoto, aimed at amateurs who love gizmos. Working professionals know where they took the photos, who is in them, and how they want to output them. This approach seems to tell us that the marketing department has overruled common sense in an attempt to get the semi-pros (a polite term for wannabees) to upgrade from iPhoto. In burdening the program with useless amateur features they have made a laughing stock of a useful professional application. In making updating so arcane and lengthy, they have completely shattered the "it just works" mantra. It will take more than a bit of Jobs magic to save Apple from this debacle.
I had it building the Vault this morning. It had got to huge size, much bigger than I would expect, so I Force Quit (nothing else worked) and had a look see. It was building an entirely new Vault, leaving the Ap2 vault untouched. So much for the "Update Vault" command. So I erased the 1Tb disc completely, opened Aperture3 Action window, and set off again.
Now, nine hours later, the Vault is almost exactly three quarters the size of the Library, and the Action shows "Copying Masters". EXCEPT... the progress in the Action window tells me it is only 30% done. Strange but true.
If updating your software brings perfectly normal kit to it's knees, there is something seriously wrong somewhere. One of the reasons I don't use Winders is that I don't expect to pay money to be a beta tester. I never thought I'd live to see the day I wrote that.

Aperture runs VERY slow

i'm running version 2 on a dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 2,5 GB DDR SDRAM and using Mac OS X 10.4.11.
i run it with NOTHING else running and it take forever, the beach ball starts to spin for a while and then finishes the task.
any suggestions? i mainly work in RAW.
thanks!

The stock graphics card on G5s cripples Aperture. You need an advanced card appropriate for the box (the 8800?).

Time capsule running very slow under OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)

Having great difficulty completing a back up. So far taken 3 hrs to back up 5gb out of 100gbs

You are not trying to use wireless for backup, are you?
A wired Ethernet connection should take between 3-4 hours for backup. Wireless will be anywhere from 5-10 times or more slower, depending on your particular connection and the capabilities of the wireless devices.

You difinately need more ram. 2gb is the bare minimum to run just the Lion OS, anything extra will slow your Mac to a crawl. Upgrade to 8gb from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/
And you will be a happy camper!

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

I have other mac's on my home network that are still running Snow Leopard and the are performing well. I wanted to use the iCloud so I upgraded and instantly started experiencing the slow down, to the point of ridiculousness. Other function are mixed some normal speed, others a day on the beach with the spinning ball. Firefox is at full speed, good thought, haven't checked Chrome yet.
Last night and hooked into a projection unit that adjusted my screen resolution for a presentation and after the event my Mac reset back to the normal settings and Safari launched and is running normal speeds so far. In the past there have been issues with performance speeds and certain resolutions, has anyone had similar luck or is this a fluke?

Aperture 3.5 running Very Slow

Good Evening
Aperture is now running very slow and get the spinning wheel alot, even worse whe trying to open NIK add ons, didn't get this before the upgrade, anyone else experiancing this ? also unable to import an old aperture Libary into 3.5, i get the message that it was created with an older version !
Cheers

Same problem.
Library access is very slow.
I have restored my library after crash and now i have 250.000 previews to recreate (very big library : 2To but no problem before aperture 3.5) it's very long, about 20.000 previews by day.

Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
