Every time I think I will switch to Lightroom...

I do something in Ap that just blows my mind. Today was a day for building a new client album, selecting a group of shots from across several projects in different years.....the incredible power of the Ap database design and search/collating tools made this a piecacake...and I did this, wirelessly, on my laptop while on another floor of my home studio, with the main Library on the desktop downstairs..and I even did some last minute editing on a couple of several year-old images, without +a thought+ for which exact file I was changing, where it was stored or if I needed to dupe it for backup (I use the Vault system exclusively)...
Yeah, I'm still desperate for 2.0...but this is a strong reminder to me why I am so impatient to see this awesome software design be fully and well-implemented.
thanks for listening to the cheers!

I have to say...I gave LR a spin this weekend and I am trying to justify waiting a little longer and seeing what happens with AP, knowing that a 2.0 of LR is probably just as close. I've been an AP user for over a year and a half. I've amassed tens of thousands of images in by library.
I always told myself that I needed the dual monitor support of Aperture, etc...and when I started playing with LR, I didn't. What I found was that I was moving through images at a much more rapid pace, and that IMO, the RAW conversions from LR (ACR 4.3) are much more pleasing than AP. I still like the Aperture UI better, but there are aesthetics, and a program that works well. At the end of the day, I'll go with the application that is the best tool for my business...emotions aside.
For instance, I was able to sort through 800 images (from three different shoots), do some low level post, create three very elegant flash web galleries, and ftp them to production in just under 3 hours. I've never worked that quickly and been satisfied with presentation for the time. That same work in AP would have taken 5+ hours.
This isn't a dig on AP...but improvements have been a long time coming. I feel that if Apple is serious about this application, they need to be much more aggressive in development, and committed to over delivering a better product. I think LR has a lot of momentum right now. With each day they are losing the small percentage of photographers using AP to LR. It's a shame, because they had the lead "out of the gates". They knew they were taking on a 900 lb gorilla, and I can't help feel that they lazily brought a knife to a gunfight.

    I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

    It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

  • If I sign onto a device with my apple id once, and sign out later, every time I resign in, will it notify my email.

    Im trying to figure out a few things,
    will it notify the email, when I sign onto a device i've already sign on to?
    and if I use another apple id for the imessage will it notify that email or the one under the device?

    My guess is you're using a long Apple ID and just omitted or mistyped a letter sometime, or something similar.
    Anyway, the way to recover is this:
    You cannot change ownership of the mistyped Apple ID to the correct one.  After all, the mistyped one purchased it.  However, you can authorize purchases from the mistyped Apple ID on your devices by doing Store > Authorize This Computer on iTunes on your computer, and enter the mistyped Apple ID and password.  Then sync again and you'll be all set.
    When you change computer (e.g., sell your current one and buy a replacement), you'll have to repeat this process.

  • IPhoto: re-enabling photo stream every time?

    i'm not using aperture (read here that some people are using both and then have problems)
    and i've enabled photostreamed on all my devices and sucessfuly synced my photos on my mac.
    however, every now and again, (i think every time i reboot) iphoto will ask me again to enable photostream?
    isn't the point of it to happen automatically?
    thanks everyone
    amir

    Both my computers do this. I tried to rebuild my library and even re-installed iphoto, but neither fixes the problem. Very frustrating.

    since this is happening in the standard code, would suggest you to search OSS.
    its a case of duplicate keys and generally to handle this the insert stt. should have had
    FROM TABLE itab [ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS]
    or exception handling should have been in place.

  • Receiving message"There was a problem sending the command to the program" every time I access a website using a desktop icon via Firefox.

    When I click on a desktop icon and access a site via Firefox I get the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program". This started to happen after I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and the message still comes up every time. The site will come up about three seconds after the message appears but the message is a real pain to put up with. What is the problem? I am ready to dump Firefox and go to Opera.

  • Annoying MobileMe popup every time iWeb is launched!

    Hey all,
    Recently did an "Erase and Install" of Leopard and my iApps... inserted my backup Domain file into /Library/Application Support/iWeb, and launch iWeb for the first time. Get a popup saying "Try MobileMe for free!". I hit "No Thanks" every time, but it comes back every time I open iWeb! Switching domain files doesn't work... This does NOT happen when signed into a MobileMe account, and is reproducable (it happened to several Apple Product Experts I spoke to, after they signed out of MobileMe)... any ideas on how to get rid of this?
    side note, this didn't happen before my reinstall...
    Thanks!

    Try using Pref Setter to open the iWeb preference file. Once you have it opened search for "dismissDotMacUpsellWindow". You'll see this:

  • I need to change from Japan App Store to Australia App Store. I get this every time I try using My MacID: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." What next TY. JohnCahill

    I moved from Japan to Australia. I need to change from Japan App Store to the Australian App Store. I get the following message every time I try using My MacID which was set up in Japan: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." At one point... by which path I do not remember... I was instructed to created a new ID. I fill out the new ID forms, but the address is rejected each time... quite confusing. Does it want a new name? But it says I cannot use an apple domain (tag?) even though I guess it has to be an apple address... ? So I have iTunes crdit cards purchansed in Australia, can't spend in AUstralian iTunes Store, get directed back to Japan each time, and can't open a new ID... What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.  John. Australia.

    You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.
    Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

  • Using DW CC... Win 7 : Every time I start DW,  I get  message telling me to 'switch to" or retry.

    Its more of an annoyance than a problem. I'm using Windows 7 Professional on an Intel i7 950 with 16 Gbytes of RAM and a Gforce graphics card with 3072 MBytes of RAM. I'm using the full suite of CC apps.
    Every time I start DW I get this error message to "switch to" or retry before it will start. It's got something to do with a browser (I've got 3) but only Chrome has any Adobe related add ons. I recall some time many years ago I got the same message starting Corel Draw or Photo Paint. Come to think of it, that was the reason I moved to Adobe in the first place.
    Any help will be gratefully accepted.

    Well... Yes and no to fixing it.
    I followed that link's instruction — altered for Dreamweaver and yes, it lit up cleanly as administrator but before ever it reached 'booted' stage it warned me I had 00 days of trial left and needed I to register it. OK I'm a paid up renter. I fed it my username and it finished booting only to tell me again, I had 00 days of trial left and needed to register it. I knew where this was leading before ever I entered my email and password for the second time but let it happen anyway.
    Then I decided I'd continue with the instructions, log out of DW and re-start it normally. Opps! This application has already been registered on two other machines. CC Manager at it again. Another hour wasted fixing CC dramas. I rebooted the PC without any external drives connected, just the 4 internal drives. OK... Lets start DW and see what happens. I'll tell you firstly that I installed DW on this machine 6 months ago and promptly removed it. Why? Because I get quicker results using notepad++ and I needed to get a job done in a hurry. No time to try and get my head around Dreamweaver in the process.
    Honestly speaking I didn't 'cancel' that installation. I didn't realize this antique process still existed.  Anyway... I reinstalled it last month with some time now to 'get my head around it'. CC doesn't speak my language and hasn't yet learned that when you tell it to remove a program, it needs to remove the registration of it too! So I got the 00 days trial left garbage again. Only difference this time it told me both the original install and second install (on the same machine) were still registered but luckily (I won't say for who) There was an option to cancel all other installations. and yes... It loaded cleanly and faster than I can recall it ever had previously. Will it keep doing this? Is this mess going to happen ever few months?
    I'm prepared to believe CC's shocking uninstall is to blame. At the best of times it is a messy process, leaving registry entries and files scattered all over my drives. NOT very nice for such a complex program manager. I used to be able to keep it under control with Revo but now CC manager wants to do it all I think it needs a bib or diaper to stop messing up my computer. If this happens again now that I've killed (renamed actually) the folders in the instructions to fix lightroom doing the same thing... I'll lodge a critical error ticket.
    Incidentally... How come searching for this solution didn't show up the answer you pointed me to? Is the forum search bot flaky too?

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.
