Is Aperture on its way out or should i buy it ?

I read somewhere that aperture is on its way out and there will be no more development ? Is that true ?

Aperture will still be supported and updated to work with the next MacOS X version Yosemite, but yes, Apple will not release a new Aperture version. Both, Aperture and iPhoto will be replaced by a new application "Photos", to be released next year. Apple will support the migration of Aperture libraries and iPhoto libraries to "Photos".
See for example this article: Aperture is Dead. Long Live Photos! | ApertureExpert

The display on my 4 year old iMac has horizontal lines and gradations of gray. Is my machine on its way out? Can I fix the screen?

My four year old iMac has developed horizontal lines and gradations of gray over the last month. Is my machine on its way out? Is there anyway to fix the display?

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

Is firewire on its way out?

I love my 3G 20Gb iPod and I use it as a firewire disk for backups in addition to musical duties. I also love the iPod nano for its color screen, but the storage capacity is just too small and I prefer firewire over USB. Is firewire on its way out for all future iPods? Are double digit capacities on their way out too?

Is firewire on its way out for all future iPods?
I am not sure. I certainly hope not. I also prefer to use Firewire over USB, but I can understand why Apple decides that the iPod Nano uses USB only.
Are double digit capacities on their way out too?
No, I don't think so.

Internal Bluetooth Module on its way out?

Recently, when I have booted up my Mac, the Bluetooth module hasn't started, so my mouse and keyboard don't work. Luckily, I have a spare USB mouse! If I restart, it still doesn't start up. If I shutdown and then startup, it generally does start up the Bluetooth module, and I can continue.
I've not installed any new software over the last month except Apple's security updates, Safari, etc., and no firmware updates (and no exceptions).
Therefore, I am wondering, is the module on its way out?
A pain if it is, but as I still have my old USB keyboard, it's not going to make me buy a new iMac just yet
Thanks,
Blackie

HI Blackie,
Try resetting the PRAM/NVRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
Make sure you system software is up to date. Click the Apple Menu  then click Software Updates...
If you have available updates, make sure and run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions before and after any updates.
If the internal Bluetooth is truly exhausted you can get a D-Link Bluetooth USB adapter. http://www.dlink.com/products/default.aspx?pid=34

I have one for an older Mac laptop and it's lasted 3 years.
Always make sure you have sufficient disk space also.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see
Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

The hard drive in my iMac is on its way out. I have an EHD (2TB), can i use this as my main (only) drive?

The hard drive in my iMac is on its way out. I have an EHD (2TB), can i use this as my main (only) drive? ie unmount the 'C' drive and use the external hard drive as 'Macintosh HD'?

If the EHD was, originally, formatted as an Mac OS extended (journaled) format with GUID partition scheme, then you can designate this drive as the startup drive in OS X preferences panel.

Universal Binary Shockwave for Mac? Is Director on its way out?

Anyone have any thoughts about if and when there will be a
universal binary version of shockwave for the Mac?
Also, Director seems to receive very little attention from
Adobe. Anyone know anything or care to speculate about Adobe's
commitment to maintaining Director. I'm guessing that adobe will
eventually ad 3D capabilities to Flash and do away with Director.
My company use to do a lot with Director, now we have a scant few
clients who bring us work that requires it.
As the Art Director for my company I have had a somewhat
passive role with Director, creating art and presentations that
only require basic navigation and animation and handing off to a
true programmer when more complex functionality is needed. Our
programmer has left and it seems on some level I am now assuming
the role of main director person, at least unofficially. I also
have a beginner to intermediate level of proficiency with Flash.
I'm pretty much left to teach myself what ever programming our
clients need as it is needed. My plate is full and I'm trying to
determine if I need to invest time in really learning lingo beyond
my rudimentary working knowledge, or just concentrate on expanding
my Flash knowledge base. If Flash did 3D, I would probably forget
about Director because it seems like it is on it's way out and most
of the things our clients need I think can be done in Flash
although for standalone presentations, I prefer the seamless flow
of Director to the "wait to load" result of Flash.
Any thoughts on this?

As Adobe says itself:
A new version of Director will be released in the first half
of 2007. It
will be sold under the name Adobe Director. No features list
available yet.
That's the only information we have and you'll have to live
with it until
the release (or beta program just before).
Adobe doesn't have anything else in its product range that
comes close to
Director and Shockwave. Shockwave 3D is still to this day the
most reliable
Web 3D plugin available (even if it has not the best
rendering quality but
sufficient for games, e-learning and 3D product assembly
instructions).
Adding 3D to Flash Player would mean a heavier download
(Flash Player 9 is
already 1 MB without the Yahoo toolbar).
The other news it that Tom Higgins, the Director Technical
Product Manager
left. I believe his position has already been filled
internally by someone
else at Adobe (it's a huge company) or will be soon (haven't
seen any job
offer yet for this role).
Best regards,
Karl Sigiscar.

Watch the Apple Online Store’s refurb section for non-Retina 2012 models. The 2.9 GHz model is a very nice machine and there were some available within the past week. Check daily, because they go fast. I bought one last summer and I love it, but I am not playing games on it. B&H Photo still has some 2012 models, also.

I don't like the 'non-retina' MacBooks, why downgrade when for £100-£200 more you can get a retina Mac which looks and feels 100x better.
It's hardly a downgrade to those of us who care about being able to upgrade our Macs ourselves if and when we need or want to do so. For me, having a FW800 port is also a consideration.

1 week old Mac Pro & Seagate drive - on its way out already?

Hi y'all,
This post is just an observation..
I just noticed tonight a constant whirring kinda noise from my Mac Pro. Thought it was the DVD drive/s but no different when ejected. Decided to unmount the drives one at a time and it turns out to be the Apple supplied 500GB Seagate making the noise. It sounds like a low toned whine with a change in note every revolution. Very annoying, but NOT as annoying as having to uninstall and back it up ready for a replacement!
Thank goodness for Applecare, I'll update with the response I get tomorrow.
Well I won't be buying another Seagate, think I'll buy another Maxtor Maxline II as it has been very reliable.... and quiet to boot!
Ciao 4 now

AMUG will probably run some tests and do their normal thorough job reviewing the card.
Someone found that the Intel SATA chipset used in the MacPro is capable of RAID5, but it isn't enabled, which would be interesting also.
The drive trays are cable-less, no data or power, rather they plug into and make connection on a backplane, and no way or room for cables - you'd probably have trouble closing the case and/or need to put the drives in backwards.
So running cables outside, out another PCI slot, kinda sloppy, and you'll need shielded cables.

Ipod mini on its way out?????

Hi guys! probs with my mini!!
It keeps refusing to play purchased content from itunes! I plug it into the pc, and it plays them fine again, then the next day, it wont again! This keeps happening!! Any ideas?

See if this helps.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
Troubleshooting songs and audiobooks that won't play on the iPod.
If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
If you need them, the following articles will help you.

Just for what it's worth:
So I click report so that I can see the details, and the whole thing goes away.
It's probably not all that obvious - I've seen a couple of people confused by this lately - but that "report" button isn't meant to show you a report. It sends a report of the crash and any related details to Apple for their general information. As far as I know, it's not something they'll ever respond to you about, either - it's just for them to compile information about the causes of crashes, so they can work to prevent such crashes in future Mac OS development.
Edit: Ah here's Apple's explanation of that - the "report" bit is at the bottom of the page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301084
I notice it does say "Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." In my experience, it never does the former...

Battery on way out? Reputable UK supplier?

A few weeks back my PB just went black and dead on me without any low battery warning. Connecting to mains was necessary to restart when battery level was shown as 0%. It had been quite low when I started using it that session but I had not been keeping an eye on the level. At the time I was in a rush and didn't pay much attention but did check System Profiler quickly and noted that the full charge capacity was well down from its previous level of about 4300mAh. Next time I checked it was back to 4300.
Today I noticed that the battery level had dropped much faster than I would have expected and System Profiler showed full charge capacity of 2697 (which went up to 2800 after I had the battery out to check its part number).
The battery is four years old and was likely to be fresh at that time as it was a replacement for one of the exploding batteries in 2006. Cycle count is 74 so you will gather the PB has not been heavily used on battery.
I'm assuming this indicates the battery is on its way out. That leads to two questions.
Is there any reason not to run the Mac on mains with a battery in this condition?
Can anyone suggest a reputable UK supplier of a reliable A1148 battery? Googling throws up prices from £30 to £70, most with one year warranty but some with three years.
Thanks.

Is there any reason not to run the Mac on mains with a battery in this condition?
No, none at all.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any UK battery vendors.

After college, should I buy a Macbook Pro or Ipad?

I will be graduating college this summer. I currently have a white 13 inch macbook that is slow and cracking and is on its way out. I think it is time to upgrade. I cannot decide between an Ipad or a 13 inch macbook pro with retina display. I am not attending any more school after I receive me bachelors degree. My main uses will be searching the internet, using apps, facebook, twitter, instagram, message boards. I am nervous about leaving the laptop behind and going to an ipad because I feel secure with my laptop. That i can do anything. However an ipad is signicantly cheaper and seems to be made for simple internet browsing. I do not intended on writing anymore essays, or editing/making movies/videos. What do you think? Thanks!

If your goal in the end is to have both, but buying one of them sooner, and then another later, in my opinion I'd buy the Macbook Pro first. Seems to me the differences and features added between Apple computer refreshes are less significant than the updates to the iOS devices, particularly the iPhone and iPad.
Ask anyone still using an iPhone 3G with the latest software updates installed how their experience today is. Aside from not having the newer features & functions, I've been told by several friends that the iOS updates have **** near crippled the thing, and it's slow as **** to do any of the basic functions (quite the contrast to when it was originally released).
This is largely due to the rapid increase of CPU speed and amount of RAM on the newer models which has lead to software development that's more demanding of the hardware. No doubt next years iPad will have a dual core chip in it, so I can't help but speculate the iPad 1 will inevitably suffer the same fate, and later on the iPad 2, etc... Oh and it will also probably have a flashy new HD camera similar to the 720P iSight found in the new MBP's for facetime calls instead of the current VGA camera (640 x 480)....again though, I'm talking speculation and opinion here.

Rebooting your iDevice
Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The iPad should begin to start up.

Should I buy Aperture in July 2014 even though it's EOLing?

I appreciate this may seem a bit like asking 'should I buy a house when the government has just announced the new freeway is going to run through the back garden', but…..
I'm not a professional, just a hobbyist with a bit iPhoto library and some Photoshop knowledge. I was planning to buy Aperture when Apple next updated it because I liked the idea of being able to do more sophisticated Photoshop-esque tweaking of levels, curves, filters etc whilst still only having one unified photo library for iPhoto and Aperture. It's important in my household to have photos accessible in iPhoto too.
But then Apple announces that instead of updating Aperture, it's ceasing development. So now I'm torn.
So should I buy Aperture now - seems like there will be one more update for Yosemite - because it will still do what I want it to do? Or should I adopt Lightroom on the grounds that at some point in the future, as with FCP 6, later versions of OS X will stop supporting old apps like Aperture and I'll be forced to switch to Lightroom or find another solution anyway.
Better to do this now than before I learn the new app and have a ton of images with changes that won't cross over.
Thanks for any advice/insight.
Andy

Have a look at Capture One Pro as well - IMO it is the most Aperture like tool out there, it doesn't have as big a feature set as Aperture, but what it does have is very good quality some of it better than Aperture. There is a free trial avaialble, and its on for half price right now.
There are a number of comparisons recommending the quality ofCapture One's raw convertor; I personally like it much better than Aperture's raw convertor (admittedly only checked with my own Panasonic raw files). I also like its gradient brush, the ability to copy masks between edits (and invert them), and the ability to assign multiple edit functions to the same mask. (I miss the ability to control levels, curves, highlight and shadow modification with a brush or mask)
After a week of evaluation I purchased a copy - I'm tired of waiting for feature upgrades, and don't like using a market trailing raw convertor on every image. I have a choice (not made yet) of doing some of my work, mostly organization and sorting, in Aperture, and RAW conversion in Capture One, or of making a clean break and doing everything from here on in Capture One.
But one thing is clear - I'll have to wait an uncertainly long time (but at least 6 months) before I get new or improved editing features or an improved RAW convertor for Aperture replacement (and then I'll be faced with an undefined cost to transition my images from Aperture to Photos), whereas companies like Capture One, DxO and Adobe can provide those improvements today, and are continuously providing more improvements to customers.
IMOthose other companies will see their revenues and R&D budget pickup as they acquire new users from the Aperture diaspora.

Is Aperture on its way out or should i buy it ?
