Has anyone tried to return Aperture to Apple?

Here's a question. For those of you that are unhappy with Aperture, have you called their customer service and asked if you could return it? I've always found Apple to be very reasonable. This would especially go for those who were confused by the inclusion of their cameras on the supported list that don't support their native RAW format?
I saw a post on another forum from an individual that said he called Apple support, explained his situation to them, and they told him to return the item.
Sounded fair to me.

I have an extra 2GB of RAM coming tomorrow. If Aperture continues to quit (crash) on me, then I will be asking for a full refund. If they choose not to refund the cost, then I will put a hold on my Visa charge. A true shame (especially since I bought stock after it split). If people sued Apple over batteries that cost $70 to replace, you can bet they will not hesitate to sue over a $500 piece of software that is obviously critically flawed.
Note to self - never try any first-relase software again.
I hope Apple does not bungle their Intel OS release the same way this app has been.

Has anyone tried 1 terabyte drives with Apple G5 PCI RAID card 1M9699g?

I am planning on setting up RAID 5 on one of my PPC G5 Xservers with an Apple PCI RAID card and 3 Hitachi 1 terabyte HDs. At $180 a drive and a $300 or so for a card this seems like a good setup. Has anyone tried this or have any suggestions.

It worked, for about $860 I now have a 1.8 TB xServer

Anyone tried to install Aperture on older G5/G4?

Has anyone tried to install Aperture on an older PowerMac G5 or PowerMac G4 that **has been upgraded** to a compliant graphics card? If anyone has had success in this regard and has done so on a PowerMac G4, could you also indicate whether or not you're using a processor upgrade?
I know the compatibility checker indicates such installations won't work, but it's important someone actually tries it for real -- maybe someone who has Aperture on a supported machine but also an unsupported one sitting around.

How do you know? And, if you don't own or have access to unsupported hardware or know of a case where someone has failed or succeeded in installing the actual application on unsupported hardware, I have to wonder why you submitted this "answer"; it's not helpful.
Since I made the original post I found, thanks to MacSurfer, a blog in which the author of the blog reported he had succeeded in installing the application on a PowerMac G4 that did not have Core Image support -- a 2003 G4 with "1.4GHz dual processors" (so I assume the 1.42GHz dual Firewire 800 model), and a boring old Radeon 9000 video card. The only requirements he officially met were the 1GB of RAM and 5GB of hard drive space. If this is a) true and b) typical, it means that not only is the application not blocked against certain processors or systems (not too surprising), it is also not blocked against non-Core Image graphics cards (a huge surprise to me).

I'd like to know if this is strictly an accident (or a hack) or if it is indeed widespread. As someone with a 1.2GHz G4 who is considering putting in a 256MB VRAM Radeon 9600, chances are I could run this application quite comfortably if this report is accurate and did not involve a hack.

Apple should really come up with a dual sim card. Has anyone tried to use the dusl simcard adaptor?

I see many ads for the dual sim adaptor, also it is being sold on some flights. Has anyone tried one? Instead of putting better cameras on their iPhones, Apple should really concentrate on making a phone with dual sim cards ( without asking exhorbitant prices) which will make travelling so much easier.

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud. Apple suggested created a new Apple ID just for POP3. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete across multiple devises?

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud (keeps my iMac, iPhone, ipad mail in sync). Apple suggested trying creating a new Apple ID just for that POP3 email. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete/update across multiple devises? Would mean keeping up with two Apple ID accounts but only other alternative I know of is paying for monthly service for Microsoft 365.

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

Has anyone tried to sync photos with the cable to itunes rather than how it should work via Wifi with iCloud? The info on the Apple support page says that you should backup to both iTunes & iCloud, but 2x the Genius Bar told me not to. Help please!

Has anyone tried syncing their photos to iTunes with the cable in addition to how it should work via wi-fi on iCloud? On the Apple support info page, it says you should do both types oof backup. The Genius Bar told me 2x not to do both. What experiences has the community had? I'm also having syncing issues with photos most recently as well as contact updates. (I have an iPhone 4S with the iOS7.1) Thanks much!

It sounds like you are mixing up several different things (or not using the terminology that Apple uses).
One thing is backup. You can backup via icloud or via iTunes and there is no reason you cannot do both -- I do and the second link below from Apple gives instructions. Doing a backup will include photos from the Camera Roll in the backup but you will not be able to see the results -- all of the backup data will be stored on iCloud or on your computer in files that are not designed to be accessed by you for any purpose other than restoring to your phone in the event of a problem. More information on backup:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
If you simply want to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer, the terminology Apple uses for that is "import" and it is done without iTunes. New photos (taken after you change the setting) can be done via PhotoStream which is a cloud based option. The other option is via cable. Instructions for both: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
Syncing via iTunes (with regard to photos) is used to transfer photos the other direction -- from the computer to the phone. Instructions for that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

NewEgg: " Memory returns allowed for 30 days, subject to 15 percent re-stocking fee. "
So YOU are the expert about which are the correct modules. a mistake costs you 15 percent plus shipping.
I prefer to do business with mac-centric vendor who lend me their expertise and tell me what memories work in my Mac, "Guaranteed or your money back."
OWC is one that does business that way.
Data Memory Systems does as well, and that is the outfit I use.
The last 1333 8GB module like these I bought from them came with a large flat heatsink installed. I put it in my Server. The price has fallen a bit since then, and now they are asking US$78, but "Guaranteed."

Has anyone tried changing the drummer on a drummer part that has already been placed into a track stack?

Has anyone tried changing the drummer on a drummer part that has already been placed into a track stack?
I find that if I do that, the parts in the stack all get merged together with no way to expand them (ie the triangle you would click on to expand the stack disappears).
I believe this is a bug, and wonder if anyone else has encountered it?

Final Cut Pro X and Macbook with 9400M chip. Has anyone tried it?

I have a late 2009 Macbook with Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chip. I've got 4 gig RAM installed. Apple lists this chip as working with Final Cut Pro X. Has anyone tried it on a Macbook? Is the performance adequate or should I wait until I get a more powerful laptop?

Yep, I've got a Macbook with that chipset and it runs FCPX. It's not blindingly quick but it work.

Has anyone tried a *real* role-link ? - (bea support pls respond)

Hi
Has anyone tried using different role-name and role-link in the security-role-ref section of web.xml.
isUserInRole method fails with this.
given a section in web.xml as:
<security-role-ref>
<role-name>xyz</role-name>
<role-link>abc</role-link>
</security-role-ref>
<security-role>
<role-name>abc</role-name>
</security-role>
u would say isUserInRole("xyz"); right?
but weblogic 5.1 always returns false
it instead behaves properly with isUserInRole("xyz"); which is wrong behaviour.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
thanks
sriram

I don't have a definitive answer, but I would guess you won't find a tech support service dedicated to the Flash Player since it is free software and customers apparently have problems getting tech support for the products they buy. But here are a couple of things worth considering.
Try posting/looking thru the Flash Player forum...

Has anyone tried to have their glass screen repaired on the ipod touch

I've gotten a lot of results searching for repair on the glass screen, even sites that have kits for doing it yourself, has anyone tried to have their screen repaired this way? I know about the trade in offers, but I've seen repairs as low as $25.

Some users posted that they did it themselves successfully.
Some tried themselves and ended up not working at all afterwards.
Some had a local third-party do it and it did not work satisfactorily afer it was returned.

Has anyone tried to send a Flash-app to the App Store?

Has anyone tried to send a Flash-app to the App Store, after the new statement from Apple? If yes, what was the answer back from Apple?
I see that the previous apps made from Flash CS 5 is still up on the App Store. Maybe there is a small hope for Flash developers?

Well, if they accepted a Flash-made app, then I would work more on my iPhone Flash-game before sending it to App Store. I don't think I'm gonna make better graphics etc, if the app only will run on my phone. And I don't think I'm gonna send a 70% done game to the App Store, and if they accept it, then finish it.
So it would be very helpful to hear a "success story".

I saw the set hibernet mode to 0 trick and it failed. Guess I can try 3 because reinstalling OS X did nothing but cost me another few hours and a little faith in Apple. Getting annoyed as I see how many people complain of the identical issue and the fixes are variable and random. Suggests to me that it is a major design flaw in the hardware and Apple got too cute with the just works idea and didn't put a damned power button on the display so there is no manual way to do it and no 'insert a pin here' type trick to reset the thing.
Asking for a refund tomorrow. Past the 14 days so maybe they'll say no but if so then every time this happens I will swap it out. At least then I know it is a three hour fix and as I was working on this for hours today it occurred to me that if the trick is to do 57 different things and maybe one will work then that is not why I made the switch to Apple. I could plug everything in on my PC and it all 'just worked'.
Really poor customer service - the support folks are very nice and I am sure they know that this is a systemic issue but aren't allowed to say so. Feeling pretty stupid for going on faith right about now.
