New MacBook 13" Doesn't run Aperture??

We've got a new MacBook 13", in black or white, with dual core intel processor. Really nice upgrade, however, the graphics card has the memory shared with main memory and it's made by intel.
Am I wrong or won't run aperture?
I hope Apple has a MacBook PRO 12" planned, as 15" is too big for traveling...

From a practical standpoint, I think running Aperture on a new Macbook would be rather like running it on a Mini - I have the Core Duo Mac mini with 2GB of RAM, and I have to say I was surprised at how well Aperture ran. I would not say it was speedy at all but it was more usable than I was expecting, and even worked with D70 files not too slowly (since the RAW decode is up to the processor I guess I should have expected that).
I am also interested to know if the new Macbooks can use more of main memory than the mini can, whcih I think is limited to 128MB.
Note that my tests so far were with a very small library, at some point I was going to try pointing the mini at a much larger library over a network share and see how it behaved. I am considering this solution for myself for a portable laptop that can run Aperture.
I imagine it's faster than any of the G4 laptops, even with the integrated video...

  • Setting privacy pane to always block cookies on my brand new MacBook pro doesn't seem to work

    Setting privacy pane in Safari to always block cookies on my brand new MacBook pro doesn't seem to work. None of the settings seem to make any difference. What gives?

    Are you not able to start aperture on your old macbook? If you are able to then you can retrieve your serial number by clicking on 'about aperture'
    If not then it's a call to apple as the above posts suggest. I did when I lost mine, bear in mind though, they may ask for your original receipt as they did with me and I had to fax it.

    Yes, I too had this problem.
    I was issued an update from Apple for a new version software as well as a new version of Lightrooom and now it shows up on the desktop and in finder as it should.

  • HT5172 My new Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my card reader (with a CF card inserted).

    My new Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my USB card reader with a CF card inserted.  It works fine on my old Macbook Pro.
    Do I need a new card reader?  USB 3 perhaps?
    I would appreciate any input that you may have.  Thank you.

    Hi, closereaching. Instead of spending 12 hours reinstalling your operating system and getting everything back up to date again, which probably won't accomplish anything, why not buy a $10 USB card reader for your Casio's SD card? Or (more expensive, but a much more elegant solution), an ExpressCard SD card reader that can stay in your computer all the time?

  • Got new iMac, can no longer run Aperture on MacBook

    I recently upgraded to Aperture 2. It was running fine on my Mac Book Pro. Then I got an iMac. I've been running Aperture on that, no problem. Now when I go to launch Aperture on my MacBook, it tells me to enter the serial #. I enter my upgrade #, and it asks for the original. I cannot find my original Aperture 1 package or serial #. What can I do?? Is there any way to get my original serial # and run Aperture on both of my machines?

    If your registration is fully legitimate call 1-800-SOS-APPL and make them work it out.

  • New Macbook Pro with Lion, installed Aperture - all photos disappear

    Just bought a MacBook Pro:
    2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1
    My old computer crashed so I transfered a folder full of photos to my computer inside of a Documents file.  Some of these photos came from my previous version of iPhoto and some of the were not imported into any program at all.  I want to clean and organize my photos before importing them into any program. I do not wish to create extra clutter on my computer by importing them at this time, being that I have a very clean machine at this time.
    So, I got Aperture, newest version (software updated as of this morning) and was planning to import my photos once I organized all of them.
    However, now that I've installed Aperture, the folder of my pictures that is located in My Documents is now reading that there are (0) photos, so I can't even organize them.  Also, if I run Aperture and try to import a photo, it doesn't recognize that any photos exist.
    Now, if I look up All My Files in the Finder window, it shows that I do infact have over 9k Images, most of these being my photos that are not showing up in their file folder.  Some of these however are not conventional photos but are PDFs that I do not wish to hang out in any photo organizing/editing program.
    So, why can't I see my photos so I can organize them via my Finder folder in My Documents when I recovered them from my old computer? 
    They were never imported into my new computer's iPhoto, nor were they ever imported into my new computer's Aperture.  But I can all of them in the All My Files?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I was able to find my photos, they were strangly refiled in a different file folder.
    Seems like Aperture is still having troubles populating the images, but I find if I open and close import, or close and repoen Aperture, then the photos will populate.
    Buggy though for sure.

  • New MacBook Pro doesn't recognise external Freecom HHD

    Just got myself a brand spanking new 15” MacBook Pro with the i7 processor running (obviously) OS X 10.6.3.
    My problem is the machine does not recognise my Feecom 400GB external hard drive (USB). Doesn’t show up in finder or under disk utility. And of course it’s the drive with all my itunes stuff on it.
    Strange thing is the drive shows up fine on my black 2008 MacBook (also running 10.6.4) and my old Powerbook, as well as on another PC.
    Any ideas what I could try/could be wrong? The new MacBook Pro does recognise some other external usb hard drives I have.
    Cheers,
    Reb

    I would try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk instead of just a verify. A verify doesn't do anything and may not report all issues.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
    Here's a USB faq.Here's Apples article.

  • Help - Please. Trying to migrate my photos/videos to my shiny new macbook air - and keep running into a brick wall.

    Help! I am super frustrated.
    I just bought a new Macbook Air running Mavericks. My old computer is a white macbook running 10.5.8. After much research I determined that in order to use migration assistant I needed to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I ordered the new disc from Apple, went out tonight and bought the SuperDrive in order to do the install (my disc drive no longer works on the old macbook) - and the SuperDrive is not compatible with the old macbook. ARGH! So for the moment migration assistant is out as I'd like to avoid going out and buying a second external disc drive.
    I believe the only things I really need from the old computer are itunes, documents and photos/videos. I was able to enable home sharing and transfer itunes last night. I saved all documents to an external drive and have copied them over. Now all that remains is iphoto. Last night I copied the iphoto folder to an external drive and imported it into the pictures folder on my new macbook air. When I opened attempted to open them in iphoto, nothing happened - there were no photos - it wouldn't recognize them I guess. So I dragged it all to the trash and I'm back to square one.
    Any ideas on how I can get my photos/videos onto this new computer?
    And - is there anything I'm overlooking in terms of things that should be migrated to this new computer?
    Please help. I don't really know what else to try. I just feel like there has to be a trick in the way that I export and then import iphoto that I'm overlooking. I've combed thru the support communities and just don't really know what else to try.

    Thanks for the advice on switching out the external drive. I ended up doing trying a wireless transfer last night while I was sleeping - and it seems to have worked.
    So - no I have documents, photos, itunes, and contacts migrated over.
    Is there anything that I'm not thinking of that I should try to get off of the old computer? I do have an old version of Adobe Photoshop Elements that would be nice to bring over - but I probably won't miss it if I can't. Is there a way to wirelessly move over an application? And - it looks like iMovie won't be able to transfer - I only have 3 movies on the old one - but I cannot highlight them when I tried to move them over. Should I consider those a loss?
    Again - thanks for any and all help. Looks like I'm doing this by bits and pieces instead of with Migration Assistant.

  • New macbook pro doesn't recognize OS X on old iMac

    finally got a new macbook pro to replace very old imac. trying to transfer info/files from old to new but when I follow instructions I get a message saying that OS X is not found on the old imac and therefore files cannot be transferred. but it's there, I use it every day. aargh! any suggestions?

    Well. Depending how old the iMac actually is, it may not actually be running OSX on it. Then again, I don't know much history about apple as my MBP is the first one I've ever owned.

  • My new Macbook pro doesn't have a start-up disc?

    I just purchased a new Macbook Pro and it didn't come with an OS back-up disc. What if I have a problem and need to re-install everything?
    How do I obtain a disc if I want one?
    Thanks,

    Then you do the following:
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    If you wish to reinstall without erasing the drive first:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • New Macbook pro doesn't recognize Iphone

    Hello,
    Just installed my new MacBookPro. I synchronized it with my old MacBook. Everything is in my new MacBook. However. When I connect my Iphone 4s to my new computer, Itunes doesn't recognize it. There is no 'resource'. Can anybody help me?
    Marchall

    You'll need to ask for help in the iTunes forum. They can provide the specific Apple document that walks you through what to do if the phone is not recognized by the computer.

  • TS4006 my iCal in my new MacBook Air doesn't sync with the iCal data in my iPad despite having it "checked" (ON) in the system preferences iCloud. what else do i have to do to activate the iCal and have sync with my iPad?

    Issue: iCal
    I can't sync the iCal in my new MacBook Air with the existing iCal in my iPad. I went to system preferences (settings) to iCloud and checked the iCal to enable it to sync to my existing iPad iCal. Still nothing happened. It's strange because i successfully synced my contacts doing the same thing. Is there anything I have to have my iCal activated in my new MacBook Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • New MacBook Pro doesn't recognize camera

    I just upgraded from my old G4 PowerBook (with iLife 08) to a new MacBook Pro (with iLife 09). I have two cameras, a Nikon D60 and a Casio Exilim Z850. The new MacBook Pro and iPhoto 09 have no problem recognizing the D60... however, the Casio isn't recognized by the new computer/software; all I get is the infinite spinning beachball. My old G4 PowerBook / iPhoto 08 still recognizes the Casio just fine... however, I'm not planning on keeping the G4 PowerBook for much longer; the MacBook Pro was intended to be a replacement. Now I'm just trying to figure out if there's any way to get the new computer to communicate with the Casio. Granted, the D60 is a much nicer camera... but sometimes all you need is a good point-and-shoot that fits easily in your pocket, so I'd like to be able to keep the Z850 if I can find a way to get the new computer to recognize it. Any thoughts?

    Hi, closereaching. Instead of spending 12 hours reinstalling your operating system and getting everything back up to date again, which probably won't accomplish anything, why not buy a $10 USB card reader for your Casio's SD card? Or (more expensive, but a much more elegant solution), an ExpressCard SD card reader that can stay in your computer all the time?

  • New macbook pro doesn't startup all the way anymore

    I just bought my Macbook pro 13" 2.53ghz.
    I was extremely excited with my new machine because it's my first mac.
    But now, 5 hours after unpacking it, I'm getting frustrated.
    My mb already froze 5 times and now, when I try to start is, the white/grey screen with the apple logo and the little 'waiting circle' just stays on the screen.
    I had this problem earlier today, but when I rebooted my mb without other devices attached (iPod, usb drive and powercord) it worked. Now I tried the same thing with and without other devices attached and it just gives me that stupid white screen with the logo.
    Does anyone knows how I can solve this problem and start working with my mb again?
    PS: I am not American, so excuse me if my english is not understandable

    Here are some things you could try:
    1. Insert the original OS X install disc and reinstall the operating system. If the problem is a software fault, that should fix it. (Once the MBP is running again, you could use Disk Utility to run the "Repair Permissions" and "Verify Disk" routines in it. Disk Utility is in the Applications/Utilities folder.
    2. If reinstalling the OS doesn't work or doesn't help, you could insert the second install disk and boot and run the hardware test program. That will tell you if there' s a hardware failure in your machine.
    Good luck.
    One more thing: when you are doing (1) or (2) above, be sure your MBP has the power cord attached and is plugged into line current and not just running on the battery.
