Just purchased Aperture 2.x 3 weeks ago.... free upgrade?
My experience with other software purchases (I'm new to Apple software) is there usually is a grace period of one to several months for eligibility for a free upgrade. I don't see anything on the Apple web site about free upgrades for Aperture. Am I out $99 already if I want to use V3?
This topic was raised a few days ago, the recent purchaser of Ap 2 rang Apple to see if they would give him a cheapo upgrade and they refused, he rang in again a few days later and either got a different person and or asked to speak to a supervisor and talked therm in to giving him a good deal - so do not give up try again and see if you get lucky.
Good luck

Hello, I have Just purchased an iphone 5 2 weeks ago but when I look through my USB power adapter, there is no serial number printed inside the USB opening, can I know is it a fake one?
If you purchased it from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it's genuine.
If not, it is very likely to be counterfeit and dangerous to use. Counterfeit power adapters often bear fraudulent consumer product safety markings. It is difficult or impossible to distinguish a genuine power adapter from a counterfeit from an exterior inspection, and inspecting its interior destroys the adapter.
From http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback/:
If you need a replacement adapter to charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, we recommend getting an Apple USB power adapter. For a limited time, you can purchase one Apple USB power adapter at a special price — $10 USD or approximate equivalent in local currency. To qualify, you must turn in at least one USB power adapter and bring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to an Apple Retail Store or participating Apple Authorized Service Provider for serial number validation.
If in doubt, do not use it. -
I purchased Aperture 3 about a year ago. I hardly use it because it's processing speed is so slow when editing pictures. Can I uninstall the sample library to increase the processing ability of the program? If so, how do I do that? I need simple instructions because I am not a professional at knowing how to do this.
Thank you. Any help will be appreciated. The following is information on my IMac:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM51.0090.B09
SMC Version (system): 1.8f2poppy-
Aperture is a hardware hog. Unfortunately your iMac has a weak processing unit and relatively weak graphics, both of which are important for Aperture performance. Your iMac will never run Aperture particularly well; it may or may not be adequate for your needs.
I ran Aperture with weak hardware (2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo 2006 Macbook Pro, 3 GB RAM) for years. It was tolerable because I also used a Mac Pro for heavy editing work. With weak hardware we need to optimize everywhere we can. I suggest:
• Do not bother running Aperture until you add RAM.
• Before each Aperture session restart the Mac to clear possible memory leaks, and run only Aperture by itself unless you have 6 GB or more RAM on board.
• Drives slow as they fill so verify that all hard drives are no more than approximately 70% full as a guideline. Even less full is better.
• Keep the Library size reasonable by using a referenced-Masters workflow with Masters on external drives. Back up originals before import into Aperture or any other images app.
Good luck!

i just got my macbook pro a week ago and i was told that i will get the lion for free, if this is true, then how do i get it.
Hi,
Not that's not normal and is one of the Problems I was having before Restoring as New...
Just make sure you Sync ALL your important Info... Contacts... Music... Etc... to your Computer...
and then do a Restore as New...
i was a bit reluctant at First, because I hadn't done it before... But it was So Easy and am Really Glad I did...
Cheers,

I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000 + photos in my iPhoto Library. I see that I can create a unified library between the two. I am wondering if I can import only certain events from iPhoto (like only 2014 events) into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library? Are there any benefits to bringing the whole iPhoto library over to Aperture (iPhoto is SO SLOW for me, I wonder if it is because I have so many photos). Or, any detriment to only bring a few events over?
And, if I don't merge the two libraries, I assume that means I cannot do it at a later date?
Help. My local Apple store has had very few Aperture workshops, and the next one is like 2 months away.Thank you so much for this information. Here are some responses/comments:
Disk space - it says 114.43 GB out of 499.25 GB free. I have no idea if that is enough.
iPhoto version is 9.5.1
Again, I am not sure how to know if I have 3rd party software...but I don't think I do. Is 3rd party software anything non-apple?
I will try rebuilding the library. if that doesn't help, maybe I need more memory...? That is what Apple suggested, but that, of course, means buying something else. I've already bought APERTURE, on their recommendation...
It wasn't, and they told me it was slow because I had too many photos for iPhoto to handle and that I should buy Aperture. Which I did.
What is your iPhoto version? Are you using the most recent version 9.5.1?
iPhoto can handle 20000 photos, no problem. Your computer can be slow for several reasons:
The most common problem for slowness - insufficient disk space. Don't let your free disk space drop below 20 GB of free space, better more. If the operating system does not have enough working space and the applications you are using, you will notice a very lagging behaviour.
Older or incompatible softweare can cripple your mac. Do you have any older third-party software installed, that might have installed incompatible kernel extensions?
Aperture might be slow or keep crashing, if you imported a corrupted image or incompatible video, that cannot be processed. Then Aperture will try over and over again to create previews and never succeed. You could test for this situation, by launching Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If Aperture will launch and work better this way, you probably have some bad media in your photo library.
Another problem to check for is a corruption of your Aperture/iPhoto library. You have run the First Aid Tools to repair the iPhoto Library, but have you ever tried to rebuild the library? See this post by Old Toad: Rebuild iPhoto Version 11 -

i just bought a macbook air 3 weeks ago and now they have an upgrade. is there anyway for me to trade up?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's possible to return the computer during the first 14 days, but now you can't return the MacBook Air. You can sell your computer and get a new MacBook -
just purchased aperture for my new macbook pro, do i now have to buy another copy for my desktop?
Use the AppleID you originally used when you bought Aperture. If you have forgotten the password, activate it again at the My Apple ID page:
(https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/)-iForgot,

I have just purchased Aperture 3.4.5 and notice that the Inspector pane and Toolbar are in greytones. No Colour !! any ideas?
It has been this way since Aperture 3.3. It is not bug, but a feature. New designed icons to fit in with the grey design of Lion and Mt. Lion.
And sorry, there is no built-in option to restore the colorful look of previous Aperture version.

I purchased photoshop cc a few weeks ago, now I get the message that my trial is over. I'm stuck is there a solution?
Refer Creative Cloud applications unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CCM
If you use Photoshop at all, you may need to install the latest update to resolve this issue. See this blog post for more information:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2013/01/photoshop-13-0-413-1-2-updat es-now-available.html
If you do not have Photoshop, then try the solution that others have mentioned previously:
Open the Adobe Application Manager (AAM).
If applicable, let AAM complete any automatic updates and restart itself.
Sign in with your Adobe ID. (Optionally, you can close AAM at this point.)
Open a CS6 application (e.g. InDesign CC).
If prompted (e.g. you get the trial screen), click "License This Software" and sign in with your Adobe ID.
OR
Follow the below steps:
1. Close all the Adobe Applications. Logout from creative.adobe.com and re-login.
2. Once you launch the software and when you get the error saying the the trial version has expired, you will have an option saying "License this software".
3. Select this option and enter your credentials and click next.
4. You must be able to activate the software then.
Refer to: Purchased student CC but CC still says it's a free trial. How do I upgrade my account to purchased and not trial?
I'm a Creative Cloud member, why is my app launching as a trial? Mac OS 10.7.4

I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?
Hi. It could be that the more you pile on the HD, the longer it will take to boot. When I first bought my MBP, it took maybe 30 seconds. But as I began putting more content on the HD, it seemed to take a bit longer to boot. You may also want to consider putting your MBP in sleep mode. That's what I do with mine and it doesn't hurt at all as far as I can tell.

Purchased ipad2 less than a week ago, can I swap for ipad3 ?
Purchased ipad2 less than a week ago, can I swap for ipad3 ? I had no idea that Apple were going to announce another iPad so soon!!!!
There is nothing wrong with the iPad 2. I'm sticking with mine. Been using Apple products since 1984, but I don't find the need to buy every generation of every category. I don't find the necessary money either....
