Mac book& Aperture

New Mac book seems attractive to me due size, and should be durable. Apart of missing FW 800 - would be performance enough for Aperture?

enough ... well that is very subjective ...
i will impart my experience here ...
my main machine is an old G5 ... over 3 years old ... i bought a new MacBook with 4GB of RAM - top end one ...
holy crap ... i finished a 200 image shoot while laying on the couch in less time than it takes on the G5 to import and rate ... ok, so not really that much of an extreme difference but a difference that is seriously noticeable ... i think it might be a little faster than my 17" MBP ...
i had hoped that apple would make a 12" MBP, and they kinda did with this new MB ...
do i miss the FW port, heck yeah ... but all my portable HDD are USB/FW ... no issue for me ...
now i can't wait for the next rev of the MacPro so i can get my dirty hands on one ...

New Mac Book, old Aperture...I have all upgrades for Aperture, but cannot find my original Ap 1 disc...am I screwed?

I have a new Mac Book Pro and tried to load Aperture on it. Cannot find the original disc but have both discs and serial numbers for 2 & 3...can I still upload?
Thanks,
Nick

Maybe I didn't explain..I started with Aperture 1 and then "upgraded" Aperture 2 and then 3. All of these were on the same computer and with the use of hard discs I purchased through Apple.
I now have a new computer and the update 2 & 3 discs with paperwork but Aperture 1 is long gone....I tried to load from the Aperture 2 disc but it asked for the original disc...no habbu..
Any suggestions..

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck

Is Aperture 3 compatible with 2009 Mac Book Air 2.1 (MC 234 LL/A) RAM 2GB

Do I have to upgrade my Mac Book Air to Mavericks OS or will work under Snowleopard?
Regards

The Mac App Store version of Aperture requires Mac OS X 10.9 or newer. If you choose to buy an Aperture DVD, it needs to be version 2 or 3 to work in Snow Leopard.

Can't open aperture on new mac book after restore. Also, no photos will restore

Received new mac book. Restored data from CrashPlan, but Aperture & photos unavailable, or can not find. When attempting to open Aperture the icon bounces, but does not open. Same for iphoto. When in Apple Store, Iphoto shows it is installed.

"Aperture 3 on your new Mac will be able to convert and to upgrade your current Aperture Library." - How ?
Do you have an external drive, where you can copy your Aperture Library to?
Make sure, this drive is formatted Mac OS X extended, before you copy the Aperture Library to it.
Also set the "Ignore Ownership" on this volume flag. (When you select your external drive in the Finder and use the "Get Info" command, you'll see this flag in the "Sharing and Permissions" brick.
You can simply drag the Aperture library to the external drive, using the Finder.
Then connect the drive to your new Mac.
Now you first need to repair your Aperture library - it is safer:
Select the Aperture library on the drive in the Finder. Hold down the ⌥⌘-keys and double click the library. Select "Repair Database" and let that run. That may take some time.
After this you should be able to double click the Library and to open it in Aperture 3 as regular library.
Without an external drive you need to copy using the Network or to mount your ols Mac in Target Disk mode http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3838?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Connect it to your new mac with USB or firewire and boot it with the T key held down.
Then your new mac will see the old one as external drive.
To extract only images from your saved Masters folder, select the Masters folder you copied in the Finder, then press ⌘F. In the search panel that opens add a search (press +) and set the search to "Kind is image".
This should show all images in the folder.
Caution! If the headline is set to "This Mac" and not to the name of the folder, you need to edit the preferences of the Finder. In the "Advanced" tab of the panel set the "When performing a search" to "Search this folder".
Don't touch any images in the search, if the heading shows "this mac". Then you are risking to move any image file on your mac.

I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
But it don´t work on my new Mac...
In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.

Aperture on a 4 years old Mac book.

Hi,
A would like to open my *.NEF files of my camera (D5100 Canon). For this I have seen that I need the last updates of Apreture but I only have the 10.5.8 update of Mac OS X, and I have seen that I need the Mac OS X Lion update so the Mac OS X Snow Leopard also.
My Mac Book is 4 years old :
Processor: 2,1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 1 Go 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I know that the last update of Aperture can run on my computer but I would like to know if with the new exploitation system and the last update of Aperture my computer will run normally or if it will be slower. For the while I don’t have Aperure at all.
Thanking you in advance for your answer.

An excellent RAM vendor is OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/Pro/Core2/
They will also answer questions, provide tools, etc. regarding the feasibility of your RAM upgrade. Great folks that I have bought from for decades.
Upgrading the RAM to maximum is essential. Once RAM is upgraded to 3 GB I believe your Mac will run 10.7.4, and OS 10.7.4 will convert D5100 NEF files with or without Aperture.
Note that in general newer versions of apps and OSs take advantage of more RAM. This is a good thing because RAM is cheap and designing around more RAM improves performance. However it is not so good for old laptops trying to run state-of-the-art images management applications like Aperture. OS 10.7 uses more RAM than previous OS versions, so when running Aperture with only 3 GB RAM I suggest:
• Try to run Aperture by itself. For sure quit apps like browsers when running Aperture.
• Restart before Aperture work sessions to clear possible memory leaks
• and/or switch from 64-bit operation to 32-bit operation (which will make some additional RAM space available). See Switching Kernels:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3773?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I believe that with 3 GB RAM it will all work, but my own old laptop is on 10.6.8 so I have no personal experience with 10.7 on an old MB. My 2011 MBP runs Aperture 3.2, OS 10.7.4 and 8 GB RAM and it rocks.

Getting Aperture pre-sets from mac book to desk top

I just recently got a mac desk top and I just installed Aperture form the App Store. My mac book has several pre-sets that I have either purhcased or created. How do I get those presets to transfer from Aperture on my mac book to Aperture on my desk top???

You presets are either installed in the system library folder "/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins"
for example, the onOne presets are installed in
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit/onOne Presets.AdjustmentPresets
and presets I created myself will be in the corresponding folder in my user library
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/AdjustmentPresets.plist
Copy the files from these folders tothe corresponding folders on your new mac.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture

Problem with Maverics: Can not sign in to App Store, Mac slow, Aperture not working

I was using a Mac Book Pro 15" supplied with Snow Leopard. I have created an ID and used it to purchase apps such as Aperture. After buying an iPhone 5S, I wanted to share the contacts and was suggested by the seller to upgarde the Snow Leoprad to Maverics and use the iCloud. After installing the Maverics following happened:
- I can use iCloud and share the contacts, mission completed
- the Mac is running slow, really slow (as an old pc)
- Aperture can not be used, a major problem since all of my photos are stroed on an external disk via Apeture
- I can not sign in to App Sore to refresh my purchases and see if there is an update for Aperture
- I tried to sign in by clicking the forgot password and entering my ID (e-mail address) but have received no mail - total mistery
- I also see that the HP 7610 printer icon is not active and assume that will also be a problem
What should I do? I need a fast running computer. I need Aperture, all of my private and business photos are accessible only via Aperture. I can sign in with the same ID/password on an iPad. The problem is obviously due to installing the Maverics. I do not have a time machine/capsule.
Urgently need support, please help.

Just for the record, you should enter your Apple ID ([email protected]) and password...
Provided you did that and it doesn't work:
You're using an account with parental control active?
Do other logins with your Apple ID work? E.g. icloud.com, iTunes, ...?
Correction: I did correctly enter my Apple ID and its password. And there are no parental controls.
But I found a fix: I went to the Featured page and it showed me as logged in. I clicked the Account link and in the pop-up for that entered my Apple ID and Password. Now I can once again see my Purchases.
It would seem to have been some undue delay or glitch at the Apple server end.

Mac book Pro i5 or i7 ? Performance difference major or minor ?

Hi folks ,
Hope every one is doing great
I have to purchase a Mac book pro 13 inch . But confusion I am having is between i5 and i7 processor . I ll be using my laptop mainly for surfing , movie watching, and Video editing ( FCP , Adobe premiere pro ) . i7 is expensive than i5 and right now my budget is not permiting me to buy i7 until or unless there it is EXTREMELY important to buy a i7 mac book as there are will be huge performance issue . From what I read I got to know that there wont be huge difference since they both are using dual core processor and there is no option of hyper threading in i7 either . Also there aint any difference of graphics card as they both use the cpu inbuilt intel graphics card. So one thing which I am considering in to buy i5 and then spend some money on expanding RAM which will be cheaper , I suppose .(4GB to 8Gb). Will that be fine?
So just wanted to know from some one who has used i5 mac book pro and ran editing software (or any one who knows about it) . Did you guys face any glitches or are they very minor to be noticeable. I am fine with extra time taken in rendering and exporting , thats not the issue for me . Only issues is that videos shouldnt lag or appear jerky in the timeline because then it will hamper editing experience .
I know Imac in same rate is the best option for editing and nothing can beat that . But I couldnt go for it because of portability issue as I have to travel a lot .
Hope to hear expert comments from you guys.
Cheers !

I have been editing with Final Cut for many years, on many different Macs. Currently using Final Cut Express v4 on a 2.66GHZ Core2Duo MacBookPro with 8GB RAM. Ditto on my 3.06GHZ Core2Duo iMac with 8GB RAM. It runs really well on both computers. An i5 based Mac will do even better.
The amount of RAM definitely makes a difference if you are using things like Photoshop, Aperture, Lightroom, iMovie, Final Cut and similar apps. They will run in 4GB RAM but they run a lot better with 8GB RAM or more. If I were configuring a new Mac to run these kinds of programs, 8GB RAM would be my suggested minimum.

2011 Mac Book Pro Dual Monitors - what's better, a small TV or LED monitor?

I have a new 15" Mac Book Pro with thunderbolt. I am setting up for some Final Cut editing, and was looking into a second monitor for full screen preview.
What is ideal??? Mini display port out via HDMI or should I go with mini to DVI?
If HDMI is fine, then what is the difference between using a LCD television and using a PC monitor?? Costco has a Samsung 27" 1080p LCD TV and a Samsung 27" monitor with HDMI for roughly the same price ($250).
Any opinions what would work better?
The monitor may occasionally double as a TV or be pulled onto a shoot as a camera monitor, in which case, maybe the LCD TV is better. It also will be used as a full screen preview monitor for Aperture still photo editing.
Thanks

>> You need a broadcast signal going to the HDTV from the MBP. <<
Are you saying that if you want to use the TV to evaluate the broadcast quality of the video then the MBP does not have that capabilty?
Are you also saying that if you just want to display the video on the TV then you can use the HDMI output of the MBP?

Can i move pictures from my icloud to mac book?

I have a ton of pictures on icloud. Can they be moved to a Mac Book?

Your Mac must be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) and you must have iPhoto 9.2 or higher or Aperture 3.2 or higher in order to receive photo stream photos on your Mac. If you do, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign into your account and check Photo Stream.
If your Mac doesn't have these, save the photos to your camera roll on your iOS device (unless they are already there) by opening the My Photo Stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once they are in your camera roll, then can be imported to iPhoto using your USB cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Another option is use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac using your wifi. The app will also keep track of which photos have already been transferred making it easy to transfer new photos to your Mac at a later point in time.
Also, whenever possible transfer the photos while they are still in your camera roll. The originals in the camera roll will be a higher resolution than the photo stream versions.

Uninstall ESET Cyber Security Pro
Repair your drive and then do a Safe Boot at least once.
While not extremely low having only 20% free for an SSD can be an issue, again, running DU from another drive or Recovery would help.
When in doubt, clone, backup, and do a clean install. Setup Assistant will bring back what you want.
Should see this moved to MacBook Pro forum shortly.
