Automator actions require either APIs for the program, or Applescript support. There's no public API for Aperture, and the built-in actions pretty much cover all the current Applescript commands. I doubt we'll be seeing any third-party Aperture actions for awhile.

HT1338 I'm running MacOS 10.7.5 with all updates and did an update last night for aperture and now aperture doesn't open. What's Zup?

I'm running MacOS 10.7.5 with all updates and did an update last night for aperture and now aperture doesn't open. What's Zup? Help!

Also when I do the system update it's not giving me an update for the latest Snow Leopard. I never knew that was available until I started looking around this site and it seems that since I have the internal dual core I should be able to update to mountian lion...is this correct? Will someone please help me and walk me through this. I love my mac I want to have it running like it should be.

Note that the "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" selection as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" (Never remember history means that Private Browsing mode is active).
"Use custom settings for history" stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the defaults are made.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Annoture - Metadata Bridging Solution for Aperture and iView

Aperture and iView users:
I just released Annoture, a metadata bridging solution for Aperture and iView MediaPro! With Annoture, you’re just a click away from sharing metadata between these two popular image management and cataloguing applications. Spend more time working with your decisive moments than worrying about double-entry and incomplete metadata!
Annoture lets you transfer annotations from iView MediaPro catalogs to Aperture projects and albums and back. This two-way transfer of IPTC and metadata information means you are not tied to any one application for your image management and workflow needs. Annoture also features a modular interface that can be extended to support additional applications in the future.
http://www.tow.com/software/annoture/
Users of Aperture and iView can download a fully-functional version of Annoture. The unregistered version will occasionally display a reminder to register, and all images processed in Aperture by Annoture will have a custom “Annotated with Annoture!” tag added. You can remove these items with the full version after purchasing and entering your license code.
Enjoy!

Congratulations on getting this working and available so quickly! I bet many late nights went into this
It's definitely providing some motivation for me to learn more Applescript...

Getting new Mac for Aperture and have a question...

I totally realize that this is a personal preference with no "wrong" way to do it. However, I would appreciate some thoughts so I can form a better idea of how I will set up an Aperture workflow that will work for me for a long time and how to configure my new iMac.
I use the referenced library workflow and store both my masters and Aperture library on my current internal drive with both backed up to externals. I'm getting a new Mac with the SSD drive for apps and OS (and Aperture library as well). The question is, should I get the mega 2 TB internal HDD along with that SSD for all my masters (which would also include my music and home-made movies)?
My current photo storage adds up to only 130GB right now and grows slowly. I don't even think I would double that in the next year. I realize that if I had, say, a 1.5 TB size Masters library, the the answer would be obvious that I would need to store externally because the iMac HDD isn't big enough. But that isn't my situation.
But since I would be able to fit all my photos on an internal HDD (2TB) to use as referenced, is there a better reason to skip the internal 2TB HDD and just get hooked up with some good, high-speed external system and stick with an internal SSD to just handle the OS, music, and apps? In other words, all my media (photos and movies) would always be stored AND edited from an external drive (I will actually edit on the SSD and then move the referenced files to the external). This means that from now on all new Macs I ever get will only need a moderate sized SSD for OS and apps. I would basicallt forever keep all things media on externals.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help with this.

One other thing... the only way for me to get a 1GB VRAM now is to buy the top-of-the-line iMac. That's the issue.
I've seen that also. That's why I added the "If you can wait.." statement.
If you need to purchase before say late October, then the specs you list for the 21" iMac are quite good and the possibility of developers designing GPU threads that require caching in the VRAM may or may not need amounts beyond 512 MB. The fact that Apple offers an upgrade to the 2 GB VRAM video adapter on their high-end machine tells me that they know that the Pro Apps will be able to take advantage of that amount (not that it is necessary for the enthusiast looking to have a good Aperture experience).
SierraDragon has much more experience than I with Aperture, so he may be able to shed some light on this one.
For my part, I run a 17" MacBook Pro (late 2011) which has the 2.5 Ghz i7, 8 GB Apple provided RAM, and the AMD 6770 with 1 GB VRAM. I installed an OWC 480 GB SSD and I am connected to the Apple Thunderbolt Display (because this machine only offers a Thunderbolt port to connect video signals with). Aperture runs fine on my machine (although for some reason cropping takes a couple of seconds now, where it was immediate before the AP 3.3 update). I run Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 without any issues on this machine, so it is definitely capable of running in a professional environment.
Since your specs call-out a 2.8 Ghz i7, 16+ GB RAM and an SSD, I personally would not hesitate to purchase that machine if you need to purchase soon. I just mentioned the 1 GB VRAM due to your wanting to be able to handle 4+ years of updates to the OS and software. That doesn't mean the 512 GB VRAM won't work great, just that the 1 GB VRAM would be additional insurance (sort of like Apple Care).

Printer Setup for Aperture and Epson R1800

After installing the upgrade to 1.5, something went wrong with my printer setup for both my R1800 and my PictureMate Deluxe.
I've done the following:
Reset the printer system.
Reinstalled the Drivers
Attempted to Print from Aperture using about 30 + combinations of settings.
I'm still getting colors that are off and overall dark photos.
Best Setting appears to be
Printer Settings
Print Settings
Media Type: Premium Glossy Photo Paper
Color: Color
Mode: Advanced (Photo, High Speed, Finest Detail, Off)
Color Management
Off (No Color Adjustment)
ColorSync Profile: SPR1800 PrmGlsy Photo.icc
Black Point Compensation = Checked
Gamma 1.10
The resulting pictures appear to be about 1 f-stop or so underexposed and the colors are off (I'm color blind, so I can't say exactly how). I know that it is the setup of the printer settings. If I print the same pictures from Nikon Capture on my Windows computer, the print is perfect. I prefer to use Aperture for my photo work.
Epson doesn't have Aperture and doesn't understand all of the settings. The Apple Care support tech stated that he is not qualified to answer and said to call back when the Aperture team is working. I've got a ton of Christmas gifts to print out!
Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-William

william:
you don't state in your original posting whether or not you've calibrated your monitors, especially to a 2.2 Gamma. in order to get the most accurate screen->print matching you have to hardware calibrate your monitors. this is by far the single most significant improvement i've made in my workflow. prior to calibration my monitors were set to a gamma of 1.8 which is much brighter than 2.2 and this causes you to NOT correct your images with the additional exposure required for proper printing. my prints were always too dark prior to calibration.
the spyder 2 from color vision is an excellent choice.

Need a Blues music site for songs and burn to cds

Need a Blues music site for downloading songs and then burning to a CD-R. Can't use iTunes or Windows media Player. As mot of my songs are from inexpensive sites iTunes won't allow them to be burned even though they show in playlists. Windows Media Player just refuses to download on my computer with Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox. Have downloaded and burned CDs in the past but iTunes has cracked down on these songs that are not downloaded from their site. Can't really blame them, but I refuse to pay $.99 cents for a song when I can buy them elsewhere for anywhere from $.05 to $.25. Would appreciate any advice given. Thanks, Steve

Ok, so you have the problem too. But have you had any replys with help? There are lots of sites that advertise music and burning. but when you go into them they are not what they appear to be. At least I can't figure them out.

8800GT for Aperture and Gaming

Hello, i'm planning on upgrading my base 2600XT to the 8800GT to run games on bootcamp like crysis and others.
However i'm concerned that i will lose performance when i run aperture 2.0 on osx since according to barefeats the 2600XT is better than the 8800GT at core image applications.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience on running aperture and the 8800GT.
Thanks

I don't play games much on my MP, at most Warcraft, Starcraft, and NWN (all under OS X, and all play fluidly with plenty of fps). I do use Aperture a lot, and with the 8800GT the loupe specially works very smoothly, as is scrolling across images. I did have the 2600XT that came with my MP in June, but that came off the same day I got it, since I already had pre-purchased the 8800GT along with many other goodies that I was going to mod my MP with. Aperture doesn't rely solely on the graphics card to work fast. In my experience, the CPU gets heavier use than the GPU in applying the image adjustments, creating new previews and thumbnails, and a fast hard drive (with or w/o RAID 0/1) helps in loading the images faster when sorting through large libraries, and when you double click a thumb to enlarge it. I know Aperture runs a bit slower when I have Boinc running in the background at 100% CPU load. If you don't know, Boinc is one of those grid computing programs that are very CPU intensive. When Boinc is running, the generation of previews can be 2-4x slower, and that also applies to exporting the raw files into JPGs (where a GPU does nothing, it's all CPU). Benchmarks are one thing, actual use is another.

Configure a sharepoint 2013 site for external and internal access

I need to configure a local install of sharepoint 2013 so that users can access it internally and externally using windows/AD authentication. The internal and external addresses are different.
I have bound an external ip to the domain for external access.
I have created Alternate Access mapping, and bound the host header but I get a file not found message for external access.
Have I missed something here? why the error and how can it be fixed. Step by step process would be appreciated.

Hi Luis,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when accessing the site externally.
The most common cause for this is that the IIS host header is configured incorrectly. The 404 will appear because we are hitting a different IIS web site and not the one we are intended to.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

Which video card for Aperture and dual monitors?

I have a G5 dual 2.0 with a GeForce FX 5200 video card that is driving one 23" Cinema display. I need to upgrade my card per the specs to run Aperture. I have also been thinking of getting a second 23" display. Can someone recommend the best video card for me. I know very little about video cards and have been reading a lot this morning. Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave;
No. PCIx and PCIe or PCI Express are not the same thing.
PCIx is an extended or slight sped up version of PCI. While PCIe is a switched bus structure instead.
Hence they are not the same. That is what all of the big news is about Apple has made the leap over to PCI Express.

13 vs 15" Retina. Quad or Dual Core for Aperture and IMovie?

Does iMovie or Aperture take advantage of quad core? I'm debating if I should return the 13" Retina I just purchased for the 15". Thanks

A quad core will definitely allow you to stack more layers of instruments and decrease your buffer size (resulting in lower latency). I have a 3.06gHz core 2 duo 17" with 8GB RAM and a mate of mine has a 13" i5 with 4GB RAM and we compared how many synths we could cram into 1 patch before we got system overloads. My mate's i5 easily handled at least 60% more than my machine....I was blown away by how much difference the extra CPU speed makes.
If I were in your shoes, I'd definitely go for the quad core if you want MS to handle (just about) anything you can throw at it. This will also give you a few more years of use as plugins evolve and consume more and more processing power. That's one of the main reasons why I splurged at the end of 2009 and upgraded every "power" feature I could when I bought my current MacBook Pro.....I've easily gotten more life and use out my system than most users who bought the standard config at the time. I've also just upgraded to a 512GB SSD to get some more juice out of my machine to keep me happy for at least another year before I get a new MacBook Pro.

Organisation suggestion for Aperture and maybe other Forums.

On the Aperture Forum there are a number of topics that come up time and time again, some relate to problems, some to usage and some are newbie orientated.
Would it help to have a section to handle these. It could be called, for example, Regular Problems and Questions. Beneath that would be some headline categories such as;
Printing, Recovery, Set-up, Common Problems, New Release
It might then help to discourage the relative large amounts of screen space used up with questions taht can appear several times each day.
This is especially so with new releases. Change always causes problems and it would be useful to see New Releases separated and the main questions again headlined so that they don't dominate the Forum.

This would be good in many forums - if users would look ;( - in the iPhoto forum there probably are five or six topics that repeat and repeat creating a very substantial percentage of the total questions
This would be a "User Tips Library" for a specific application - I think it makes sense and recommend it too

How to achieve automated posted for invoice and stock transfers

Hi,
I have following queries for an RFP, can some one give hints on how to achieve them in SAP
o Receive self-billing documents from the customer, stating the deliveries and amounts that are settled and paid
o Automatic posting of invoice documents from the vendor, based on the data from the purchase order and goods receipts
o Process material stock transfers between two plants that use different SAP systems
Thanks & Regards
Raghu

Hi,
Normally when we do GR we take the cenvat credit by capturing & posting the excise invoice.
This can be done using the t.codes - MIGO or J1IEX.
So when the Material doc is posted the Part 1 register gets updated with Qty received.
If we post the excise inv using either MIGO or J1IEX the Part 2 register gets updated.
Now if you have done both the above then inorder to cancel the excise inv.
1. You have to cancel the Material Doc (so system wil use the Mov type 102)
2. Now Post your excise inv using J1IEX so that your Part1 reg will be updated ( i.e you are reversing the Cenvat Credit that you have availed).
3. Finally you have to cancel the Excise inv document using J1IEX so that your Part 2 register wil be updated.
Make sure that you do the above steps as per the above sequence else system will show the error as you mentioned.
Hope its clear.
Regards,
Kiran
