MacBook Pro and Aperture
I Installed Aperture on my new MacBook Pro, I'm new to Apple the MacBook Pro being my first Apple computer, after installing I upgraded the software. I tried to run the application and received an error saying something to the effect of, "This application isn't running on the supported hardware". I thought I'd ask here before going into the Apple store Genius Bar for any help? I was thinking of unistalling and reinstalling? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I too have just installed aperture on my new
macbook
pro, obviously with the same result. I'm happy to
wait for the Universal, but I am worried about the
graphics card, as the tech spec on the apple
website
does not mention the graphics card in the MBP (ATI
Radeon X1600). Any ideas if it will work?
The card will be supported for sure - Apple was
running Aperture on Macbook Pros at PMA (with a beta
version of 1.1). The only question remaining is
performance, but from what I saw it was decent.
One idea of potential performance is here:
http://www.barefeats.com/pbcd.html
The test to look at as far as telling you anything
about Aperture is the "Core Image" test. The chart
is a little hard to understand since the graphics
cards used are listed far above, but basically the
X1600 is almost four times faster than the 6600 card
in Quad G5's - I think that 's about the same level
of performance that x800XT users are seeing today,
and they have generally been OK with performance.
Hopefully you got the upgraded video card, as that
will help somewhat.
Thanks for that. Very useful. Iwas not aware that a video card update was available. Can it be fitted retrospectively, and does it make that much difference`?

MACBook Pro and Aperture Academic. Are they compatable?
will a MACBook Pro and aperture work together. The software states that the hardware is inadequate?
Since the push is on to release a Universal Binary, and the new MacBook Pro is the only Intel Pro machine out, it seems the answer is onviously yes.
In the demo/preview of the Aperture 1.1 I went to on Tuesday, it was noted by the presenter that one upgrades to Ap 1.1 by having 1.0 installed, then running Software Update.
He then acknowledged that the original Aperture 1.0 installer disk would not normally install on the newer MBP - "we will have a way to allow an initial install on your MBP. then you will immediately run the Software Update to upgrade Aperture to 1.1 and thus the native Intel code."
It should also be noted that even under Rosetta the MBP rocks - a Photoshop CPU intensive test showed it only about 33% slower than the dual 2.0 G5 Powermacs!. And at the demo the presenter hinted that we would be very pleased with Aperture 1.1 performance on the new Intel chips.
I just bought one on an impulse purchase yesterday for a photo trip in April.
But everyone buying a MacBook Pro for Aperture use should be sure to get the 256 MB VIDEO CARD! -
Best external hard drive for Macbook pro and Aperture
Hi, any recomendations for an external hard drive for the macbook pro and aperture. I was looking for approx 300Gb !
Many thanks
macphiPersonally I have had poor luck with LaCie Big Disk peformance and support and don't recommend LaCie. However I do recognize that my sample of one is statistically insignificant.
The eSATA concept is interesting, but bleeding tech edge at the moment. For a solid solution that works now I recommend FW800 (forget USB) and RAID 0 technology. I have had great success with OWC and just bought their least expensive (in $ per GB) 640 GB FW800 US$370 RAID O drive setup: <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ME8R7640GB16/>.
Just this week OWC introduced RAID 0 +1 drives that have RAID 0 speeds but also provide mirror backups. Perhaps the very best solution but pricey.
EDIT: If you bought a 15" MBP instead of the 17" you forever lack FW 800. Go for a FW 800 or an eSATA Express Card solution when available. You could buy an OWC drive now and jusr run it FW 400 until you get an Express Card FW800 port. The OWC drive came with ports and cables for both FW 800 and FW 400.

2011 13" Macbook Pro and Aperture 3?
Have a 2011 i7 13" macbook pro, hooked up to my 30" cinema and have gotten the tetris blocks/garbled image when zooming to 100% or using brushes occassionally. This unit currently only has 4GB ram as am waiting for more arrive, am upgrading to 16GB and an SSD.
The 13" has integrated graphics and I am wondering if what I am seeing is as as result of insufficient graphic capabilities or lack of ram. Still within the time frame for return and swap for 15". Prefer the 13" size for portability but if this a characteristic of integrated graphics then I'm most likely in line for a 15".
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Would rather find out now rather than later that what I want and what will work better are not always the same.
Thank-you,
MarkHi Mark. Others will post detailed answers. The short version is:
- your set-up -- especially with 8 or more GB of RAM -- should work fine. There is nothing to contraindicate its use for Aperture.
- the 15" MBPs work better, and are likely to be a worthwhile trade-off of convenience (bigger and heavier) for performance (faster) when cost is factored in.
I have my eyes set on upgrading my 2009 13" MBP (5.5). I will most likely get a 15" machine -- even though I'm still nostalgic for my beloved 12" MBP PowerBook G4.
Search the forum as well. There have been excellent posts on the differences in the hardware.
The SSD alone should make a huge difference -- as long as you can fit your Library on it.

New MacBook Pro and Aperture 2
I just bought a new computer and have Aperture 2. Is there anyway to get it to work with the Snow Leopard? I really don't want to buy the new Aperture if I don't have to. Any advice would be great!
Thanks All!
JanelleYes, Install it and run Software Update to bring it up to 2.1.4 and it will run.

Hi There,
I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.
NelsonEither the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes. -
hello everyone! i have a new macbook pro and i want to download aperture. my app store says it is already installed (on my old macbook pro). how do i install aperture from the app store in this instance please?
Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

Aperture 2,how can I share one vault with my MacBook Pro and G5?
I want to run Aperture 2, on my MacBook Pro and G5, I want to keep all images on an external Firewire drive. I would also store the vault there as well. I want to be able to have the choice to work on the my photos on my MacBook Pro, take the external Firewire hard drive with me and work on my photos, then when I come home I want all of those changes reflected back on m G5 when I open it, and updated the vault.
I this possible, if so how do I accomplish my task.
Thank in advance for reading and replying to my post.
SebastianI want all images stored in a single Library that will be accessed on my G5 & MacBook Pro, but I want to create a single Vault and when changes are made to my Library from either system, when I go to other other systems they are reflected there, with a warning that my Vault needs to be updated. This is my goal, this is how I envision having both systems using the same Library and same Vault.

Maverick and Your System message
I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
Any ideas?Maverick and Your System message

MacBook Pro And External Hard Drives
My only Apple computer is a MacBook Pro. I've just got a new camera that stores both RAW and JPEG for each shot so my internal drive is filling up fast. I need to get an external hard drive and move my Aperture library to that.
When I travel, I wish to continue to use Aperture with the internal drive of the MacBook Pro. I'm not sure if I understand the workflow. Please would someone help me understand the best way to do this properly?
I think what I need to do is this:
Let's call the existing library on the internal disk home. After moving home from the internal to the new external drive, I must create a new library on the internal drive - let's call it travel. When on the road, I should use the travel library and, when I get back, merge it with the home library.
How do I do that though?
The documentation on merging libraries describes the scenario where you have two computers instead of my scenario. I'm guessing that you open the home library and import the travel library. If that's right, do you just then delete the travel library and start again on your next trip?
Also, what do you do about vaults? Have a second external drive and put them on there?
Thanks in advance for your help.There are two things you could do:
Turn your Aperture Library into a referenced library and relocate the master image files to your external drive. You will be able to browse, grade, and tag your images even if the external drive is not connected, but you can only edit those images whose masters are managed. Sp perhaps you could keep the masters of the most recent projects managed. while you are on the road import the new images into the library and relocate them to your external drive when you get back.
To relocate to an external drive: Select the images and use
File -> Relocate Masters
What I sometimes do when on vacation: create a new, second Aperture Library on my travel MacBook Pro and import my new pictures from the trip into this library. When I return I import the new Library from the trip into my main Aperture LIbraryFile -> Import -> Library/Project

I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?
I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
Is it possible to merge the libraries?
Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
Thanks for your help!1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
3. Yes. -

Using a MacBook Pro with Aperture 3
Anyone using the newest 13" MacBook Pro with Aperture 3? I'm wondering how you like the performance of that laptop with AP 3. Are you using the 2.4 or 2.6 GHz?
I'm considering a new Mac and want to know how this holds up with Aperture.
Thanks.micro43 wrote:
Did post #2 not already answer this? I would think someone who actually uses this machine would be more inclined to give you an accurate answer...
The point is that there is no per se "accurate answer" to the general performance question. E.g. we hear performance complaints regarding all kinds of boxes stronger than the 13" MBP as well as some reports of users satisfied with MBs or Minis. The more feedback the OP gets the better able he/she is to come to a satisfactory personal conclusion.
Personally I consider the display an important part of what characterizes graphics app performance. Any +"actual user"+ has already decided against the additional *70% more pixels of the 15" size* with high-rez matte display and also has conluded that glossy is OK for them. IMO a potential new buyer of a laptop for graphics should have those differences firmly in mind when decision making. *Clearly a trip to physically compare 13" glossy vs. the 15" size with high-rez matte display is in order.*
A user like cbandes doing the heavy work on a MP with real display is much more likely to be happy with the tiny glossy 13" display part-time in the field than is someone trying to run a full pro Aperture workflow from a 13" MBP. Personally I like pixels and dislike glossy, so I would never go from 1.7M matte pixels to 1M glossy pixels just to save 1.1 pound of weight. IMO. -
Hello, I have MacBook Pro and whenever I start Aperature 3 it stays on for about 5 minutes then it shuts down with an error of shutting down unexpected... anything??
Also does anyone know how to take something from one picture and add it to another in aperature?
Thank you!!!I had the exact same problem. Here is what an Apple Support person told me to do - and it worked like a charm!
Go to your APPLICATIONS Folder. Find a folder within that folder called TOOLBARS. Remove the ENTIRE folder. Once you remove that folder, your Aperture should work perfectly.
There is something in that folder that you don't need that messes with Aperture. Try it. Mine worked perfectly! -
I just put snow leopard 10.6.8 on my macbook pro and I was told that I could purchase Apature for photo management- now its says I need a different version.... is there an older version I could get? so frustrating.
The current version of Aperture requires 10.7.5 or later.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
