Aperture upgrade under Mountain Lion

Hello, just moved from Leopart to Mountain Lion but cannot upgrade my aperture to latest version (current being 3.2.4.). I downloaded the file but when trying to install requests a version post 3 which I have. Any idea on how I should proceed ?
Thanks in advance

When you are looking at the Aperture Applicaion in the Filder you should not be able to see subfolders, only the Applications icon - it should look like this - how did you move your Aperture application? Did you not use the FInder? The plug-ins folder inside the Aperture package should be a subfolder of "Contents", not directly of Aperture. Or are you looking at the Applications Support folder in the system library, not at the Aperture application in the Applications folder?

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can no longer connect to my Bose Sounddock 10 via Bluetooth. It was fine under Mountain Lion

Pairing my Bose Sounddock 10 to my Macbook Pro (early 2011) via Bluetooth was fine under Mountain Lion. After installing Mavericks, connection failed. I deleted the Sounddock & attempted to pair it again. I get an occasional 'flash' in the 'Devices' list, but no pairing occurs.
I have no issue pairing the Sounddock to my iPad running iOS 7.0.3.
Has Bluetooth been changed for Mavericks?
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

I actually have the same problem, since I upgraded to Mavericks my MacBook Pro can't seem to find the Bose sounddock 10. Has anyone found a solution to this.
It still works with the iPhone 5
Thank you

Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps

Aperture email sharing (Outlook) not working since upgrade to mountain lion

Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and sharing of photos via email no longer works. I've seen posts of problems with Apple mail; but not sure if others are having this issue with outlook. When I choose 1 or multtiple photos to share vioa email; it goes through an export process, Outlook dialogue email opens, but NO attachements or files embedded.
This worked fine before upgrade; others experienced or have solution? I can certainly send photos the "old fashioned" way; but at 10mb a photo, not practical. Very frustrating.

I have found it. It seems that in Lion we had to convert the filename from Mac native to Posix format, in mountain lion this is no longer necessary. If you want to modify the script here are the instructions:
Finder->Applications. Right click on Aperture and choose "Open package contents"
Contents->Plugins. Open "Microsoft Outlook.applescript" (with the applescript editor)
You should see the following 3 lines:
-- convert the image path from UNIX to Mac
set this_imagefile_path to (POSIX file this_imagefile) as string
make new attachment at new_message with properties {file:(this_imagefile_path)}
these should be replaced with this line:
make new attachment at new_message with properties {file:(this_imagefile)}
You are not allow to directly edit this file so save a duplicate somewhere.
Rename the original script file.
Copy the modified file to the Contents->Plugins folder of the package. It has to be called "Microsoft Outlook.applescript"
You will probably be asked for your password a number of times.

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.

Upgrading to Mountain Lion plus Aperture firmware update - problems

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion and uploading recent Aperture firmware my Adjustments section has gone haywire. I've lost the 'Advenced' section in Highlights and Shadows and the Highlights and the Shadows sliders have become very ineffective compared to before. The consequence is that I cannot balance very bright areas of the picture with darker areas. Before, this work brilliantly! I have tried re-lnstalling Aperture but to no effect. I would be very grateful for suggestions. Thanks.

The "Advanced" section in the "Highlights&Shadows" brick has been deprecated with Aperture 3.3.
It will only be active, as long as you have an image in your Aperture library, that has been adjusted with the old pre-Aperture 3.3 adjustment.
To get it back, import an Aperture library that still has it.
See Kirby Krieger's post here:
How to not miss that olde-tyme Highlights & Shadows 7-slider Brick
I put an Aperture Library with a single image with highlight and shadow adjustments here for download:
http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/Templates2.aplibrary.zip
Download and uncompress it if you like, then you can import it as a template to generate a preset.

IPhoto update impossible after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion today and when I subsequently went into the iCloud settings I was surprised to learn my version (9.1.3) of iPhoto was not capable of supporting iCloud. The information stated if iPhoto had not been installed from the App Store, then one should go the the apple icon in the top left corner and select "Software Update" from there. When I do that, it is reported I do not have an update available. However, if I open iPhoto and check for an update from its menu, it indicates an update (two, actually) is available but when I click the "Open Software Update" button, I am directed back to the App Store where...no update available is the information provided.
I would really like to use iCloud Photo Stream and is one of the reasons I ponied up $20 to "upgrade" to Mountain Lion. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have been a MS/Windows user for 20+ years and this initial exposure to difficulties with the Mac OS is not what I expected.
Thanks.

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 this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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. Try the download while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
Regards.

After upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer or even off my iTunes library

after upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer, love film or even directly off my iTunes library. in each case, all i get is a black screen and no error message.

Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
or this,
Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
Please let me know if it works.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Time Machine backup fails

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have used TM with an external HD attached to my Airport Extreme for a few years now to back up my MBP. It has worked great, so after the ML upgrade, TM will not recognize my external HD dedicated to TM backups. I can see the EHD on the TM system preferences, but it on gives me the option to remove it. Under other available disks, it also shows the EHD but the name of the Airport is different. The name of the Airport is called The Thread, but on other available disks section of the screen, it is shown as The-Thread. I have tried to change to this and I get the error message saying it can't see it. The other HD plugged into my Airport Extreme has all of my iTunes files on it and it plays the files just fine and I can see the files on the TM backup HD in the finder.
I have gotten the errors 17 and 60 when trying the backups. The dash in the Airport name is the only difference I can see.

Backing up to a hard drive on an Airport Extreme base station is, contrary to common sense, not a supported configuration and is known to be problematic, with the possibility of sudden failure always looming. See:

Cannot see items in my trash bin sice upgrading to mountain lion

cannot see deleted items in my trash bin,since upgrading to mountain lion,it seems to delete items straight away.

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ 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 page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion. Where's iPhoto?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion a few days ago and I can't find iPhoto. I read on another thread that I can log in with my Apple ID, click on options before purchasing and I should be able to download it free.
Well, I signed into the App Store and I think I used a different ID because when I check my Order History, it says that nothing was purchased in the last 90 days. It's possible I have two Apple ID's so I wanted to log out of that account and try signing in under another possible one. BUT WHERE'S THE LOG OUT? I can't find it to save my life.
Other than that, doesn't iPhoto come with Mountain Lion? I had it with my previous OS before upgrading. Thanks for any help!

iPhoto comes with your Mac. What version of OS X came installed on your Mac when you bought it?
If it came with any version of OS X before Lion came out then you will need to re-install iPhoto from the Applications disc that came with your Mac and then Update it through Software Update.
Like if Snow Leopard or Leopard was Pre-Installed on your Mac when you bought it, it came with 2 System Restore/Re-Install Discs. One for the OS and one for the iLife Apps, IE the Applications disc.
If you don't have them then there are 2 ways to get iPhoto and the other iLife Apps reinstalled on your system.
1) You call Apple and order a replacement set of System Discs at a small fee/charge.
2) Buy it and the other iLife Apps, if you want them, from the Mac App Store.
Or Option 3. If you know someone that has a similar year Mac and they still have their original System Re-Install/Restore discs you could try to use theirs to Reinstall the iLife Apps.
If your system came with Lion then you can get them from the Mac App Store for free but you must log in to the store with the same Apple ID you used when you first registered that Mac with the App Store.
Good Luck and Best Wishes

Audio Problem since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Has anyone encountered audio problems with their iMac? I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my i7 27" with 16GB of Ram and found that the Audio starts to get distorted and eventually cuts out after about an hour! It starts cutting in and out when I move the mouse and eventually there will be no sound at all!
Sometimes it can take over an hour of steady use, my last time was watching a movie on Netflix. I initially noticed this using a USB DAC Headphone Amp.
I never had any Audio problems before, my machine is over 1 year old.
I enjoy watching movies in iTunes and DVDs, but this is making it difficult! A full restart usually fixes the problem for a time but it will eventually come back
I'm seriously thinking of going back to Lion for the time being and seeing if it is a Hardware problem.

i don't know if mine is the same issue, but i had no sound through any of my applications after upgrading to mountain lion. here is what i had to do to fix it:
-- applications > utilities > audio midi setup > UNmute all options under "built-in output" (they were mysteriously muted)
Also, I noticed that the options for "use this device for sound output" and "play alerts & sound effects through this device" were no longer assigned to my Built-in Output device. They were assigned to some other random sound driver. To fix, i right-clicked on Built-in Output and reassigned those items to my built in speakers. All fixed now!
very weird problem, though.

Mavericks upgrade from Mountain Lion deletes all user accounts

This is a lesson for upgrading too early (and too eagerly).
Today I tried the Mavericks upgrade from Mountain Lion on my 2007 Macbook Pro, after going through all the pre-installation/pre-upgrade checklists.
I don't think I have gone from a very high to a down low in such a short space of time. I really wanted to move on from Mountain Lion and when the installer finished the upgrade to Mavericks and re-started my MBP, I was super excited. When the restart completed and I was presented with the login prompt, I tried entering my user name and password. First time, it shaked on the password... OK, you'd think that is a typo. Re-entering the password... same thing.
You can imagine what ensued. After entering my password v-e-r-y slowly many times, I started realising that something went very VERY wrong.
Just for information, I used two different user accounts on my MBP under Mountain Lion. The one account had administrative priviledges and was only used for installing applications and a few other administrative tasks. Then I have a second personal account, which does not have administrative priviledges and is the account I use daily for Mail, Safari, iTunes, programming etc.
None of those accounts worked under Mountain Lion. Basically, there is no way in.
I then proceeded to boot with the startup option Cmd + S (command-line access). Once that was completed, I was in as root and checked the /etc/passwd. None of the user accounts were there. I was only able to find two user accounts: root and nobody; and a long list of user account that started with an underscore (I think these are some sort of esoteric user accounts). So, it appears that the Mavericks upgrade did not accurately bring over the user account information from my Mountail Lion installation.
Then, I went into the /Users directory and there I could see the home directories for all the users as they were defined under Mountain Lion. The contents were intact too.
It seems to me that the Mavericks upgrade from my Mountain Lion forgot to bring over the user accounts but it did preserve the contents of all the users' home directories.
Unless anyone can spot some sort of user error here (please let me know), I am heading back to Mountain Lion pretty swiftly. Otherwise, I suspect there is a bug in the Mavericks installer.
Any assistance is appreciated.

The reason this occurred is a mystery and has not been commonly reported. Consider the following. It may or may not help. You should probably print these instructions before proceeding.
Boot Single User mode again and do the following:
(You can skip the first step. It will check your boot volume for errors and correct what it can. If there were errors the installer should not have proceeded, but the possibility exists that directory corruption may have occurred during installation. That seems unlikely to me but could explain what went wrong.)
In Single User Mode:
At the :/ root# prompt, type fsck -fy and press Return or Enter. It will take a few moments to complete. If you are concerned that nothing is happening just press the Return key until you see the :/ root# prompt again.
Once the disk check is complete and the prompt returns, type mount -uw / and press Return / Enter.
Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist and press Enter. If you get an error message you may ignore it.
Type ls /Users and press Enter. All of the usernames on the computer will be listed, which is helpful if you don’t know or remember what these are.
Type dscl . passwd /Users/username password while replacing username with one of the users displayed in the previous step and replacing password with the new password of your choice. Press Enter. You will likely get an error message about a file or directory not being found. You may ignore this.
Type reboot and press Enter.
