Are there any ways to speed up Aperture without buying new hardware?

I have seen on many forums people complaining about the speed of Aperture. I have an iMac 2.16Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM and Aperture is slow.
Navigating the images is not too bad really. They show quick enough for me, but my major gripe is with the speed of adjustments (in RAW). Functions such as Straightening and Sharpening are so slow that it makes it difficult to choose the level you desire.
For example, straightening is a fine art and because of the slowness the image jumps rather than rotating smoothly. This is extremely annoying!
Bar spending money money on a higher spec has anyone got any tips on speeding things up a little? Would reducing the quality of the previews help?

    Yes, if you have access to another computer with an optical drive. You can connect the two computers via your home network and use File Sharing to transfer the installer to your HDD. You can also use:
    DVD or CD sharing- Using Remote Disc
    Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks

    Have you been having some problems that make you think you may have malware installed?
    Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

  • RDX drive -- terrible transfer rate (writing to drive). Is there any way to speed it up?

    I've tried both drag and drop and the Robocopy command to copy files to a RDX drive (under Win 7 home and pro). It starts off fast anough (25MB/sec) but shortly slows down to something like 1.5 MB/sec.  Just 35GB takes well more than 2 hours to copy.  And of course if there are many files involved it just gets worse.
    Are there any tricks for speeding up writing to the drive?

    Yes. You can download the Firefox installer and copy the file to an USB stick or other medium and install Firefox from that drive.
    You can find all Firefox versions here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

  • Are there any ways to get sequence number other than getting it for each re

    are there any ways to get sequence number other than getting it for each record

    CACHE is the number of values Oracle stores in memory. So the first call to NEXTVAL Oracle grabs x numbers; subsequent calls to NEXTVAL are served from memory until they're all gone and them another bunch is grabbed. The attached sql*plus output demonstrates this behaviour.
    Note that normally unused numbers in the cache are returned to the data dictionary but in exceptional circumstances (DB crash) they may be lost.

  • Is there any way to speed up "repair disk" over internet recovery on OSX

    After receiving a grey screen on startup, I finally have been able to boot into internet recovery on my 13" macbook pro. I'm running "Repair Disk" from the Disk Utility on my "Macintosh HD" drive. The estimated time is listed at "1 day, 23 hours", and has been stuck there for about 8 hours. It was 2 days and then did move to 1 day, 23 hours, but has not moved since.
    Is there any way to speed up this disk repair? Would connecting over ethernet rather than WiFi help? Should I go somewhere with a faster internet connection than my home (1.1Mbps Down / 1.6 Up)? It can't possibly take over 2 days to repair the disk under normal conditions, right?

    A hard wire connection should be faster than wifi.  If you have been running Disk Utility Repair for 8 hrs, try is again and if after an hour you still see the same result, I suspect that the HDD is faulty.
    I would try an external boot HDD and see if the MBP can boot from that.  If it can, than that indicates that your internal HDD has failed and must be replaced.  Transfer as much data as you can.
    Ciao.

  • Are there any ways to make sure FCPX saves the project before quitting?

    The other day when I was working on a project, Final Cut Pro did not save any changes I made for the last 3 hours. I lost all of my work. I understand that FCP is supposed to autosave  projects, but it didn't. Are there any ways to make sure that it saves before quitting? I am currently running the trial version 10.0.8, and I plan to upgrade to the full version, soon, provided there aren't too many bugs.

    It turns out it was a corrupted project. All other projects autosave before quitting, but that one always displays the same last modified time. I solved it by creating a brand new project.

  • ARE THERE ANY WAYS BY WHICH I CAN FIND THE Appln Servlet Container Memory

    ARE THERE ANY WAYS BY WHICH I CAN FIND THE Appln Servlet Container Memory .

    You can check out Tomcat memory usage using Tomcat Manger
    and clicking server status.
    It gives the information like this
    Free memory: 489.80 MB Total memory: 508.12 MB Max memory: 1016.12 MB
    For specific application stats, i think there are some profilers which u have to search in google.

  • Are there any way to recover the deleted images form iPhone 4

    hello guy's
    are there any way to recover the deleted images form iPhone 4
    note : i haven't make any copy of the photo in my pc so i relay need for them
    plz help

    The Camera Roll is for temporary storage as with any other digital camera. Although photos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer ASAP. If you didn't sync your iPhone with iTunes since these photos were captured by your iPhone and the photos in the Camera Roll weren't imported by your computer, the photos are gone.
    Depending on how wealthy you are, you can contact a data recovery service to see if they can recover deleted photos from an iPhone's flash drive, but you will pay an arm and a leg for this. Such a data recovery service is not cheap and with no guarantee the data will be recoverable.

    What happened that you lost them?
    If you have synced recently you could restore the iPhone and it will restore the camera roll to it's state at the time of that sync.

  • Are there any way to play movie from hard disc uploaded with java player?

    I found quicktime player can export the movie as webpage versions, uses java to play the movie instead of quicktime player.
    How can I do the same with iweb? From the webpage which quicktime generated said should insert some code to the head of page and something else, but how do I insert those codes to the page I create with iweb?
    It said :
    "To make your media viewable on the Internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessible server.
    The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
    The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (carsmoke.mov) rather than a source movie.
    The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
    Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
    Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag."
    Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
    <script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
    Use this code in the <body> of your web page:
    " <<a href="carsmoke.mov" rel="qtposter">
    <<img src="xxx.jpg" width="120" height="50" />
    <</a> "
    (I put < into << so it will not execute in this page...)
    How to do these with iweb?

    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
