New To Aperture - CROP, RESIZE, PLEASE HELP!

To be clear - I am not a pro!
Ok, I just bought Aperture. I have only used Photoshop in the past. I have been watching tutorials but I simply can not understand or figure a few things out.
First of all, in Photoshop I can go to image size and see the resolution of the photo and the image dimensions in inches. Can I do this in Aperture?
Next, lets say I want to take a large photo and crop it to 5 inches by 7 inches to make a print. I know how to do this in Photoshop. I can set the crop tool to crop to 5"x7" and I know how to get a good quality 5x7 print at the best resolution.
But how in the world do I do this in Aperture?
How do I know the dimension in inches of the master photo and how do I crop to a specific size in inches? (I only see pixels) Is there a measurement for pixels that would equate to a 5"x7" photo? & How do I know I am getting the best quality for printing.
I know I must be totally misunderstanding the way Aperture handles these things. But I am totally confused! Can someone please tell me how to do this in Aperture and how it compares to Photoshop?
Thanks!

Thanks Tony, that helps, and I still have some questions...
I do see now in the export window that I can set up the photo to be exported at a specific DPI and a specific size in inches.
1) When I crop, how do I know I have not used too small a portion of the original image. For example, let's say I want to crop a photo to make an 8x10 inch print. In Photoshop, when I go to the "image size" window, I can easily see if I have used the 8x10 ratio cropping tool but I have actually cropped down to a 6x8 inch image. I now know that I will lose quality in printing. But how do I know this in Aperture?
2) As I said, I see how I can set up the size of the image to be exported. But how do I set up the image for printing at best quality? Again, if I go into the printing window and set up the paper size and layout options to 8x10 inches, how do I know I am not taking a smaller image and "blowing it up" to a larger size and losing quality in printing?
I hope I have been clear in my questions and thanks to anyone who can help!

    It is really not relevant what you buy; especially with electronics, your item is "outdated" as soon as you get it home because there will always be a newer, bigger, better things out there.
    Does your machine no longer do what you need it to do? If so, sell it, and buy a new one. If it does what you need, then keep it and work with it.
    Apple allows for returns within the first 14 days; you can try going to a store and seeing if they will make an exception, but I would not expect it.

    Is there anything else beside the number 2203?
    Try removing the current Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, then install 11.0.07 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    Collect the PDFs you want to link to in your site. Then link to them in
    the Inspector palette just like you'd link to other pages. If you want
    the PDF to open in a new window use target _blank as before.
    What actually happens on a visitors computer however depends on whether
    they have the PDF viewer plugin installed. In that case the PDF will
    display in the browser window. If they don't have it installed, the PDF
    will download to their computer and they'll need to open it manually.

  • IAhave am iPad 1. I downloaded PrintCentral Pro and also the Bonjour Printer Wizard as prompted. I still can not print. What am I missing?  I am new to this...Please help.  Thank you!

    Depending on what you are trying to print you may have to print from within the app.  For example, to print an email or web page you have to open what you want to print from print central pro.  If your printer is not a supported printer there is another app from the same developer that allows you to print from your iPad to your printer via a wired pc.  You may want to drop them an email.  They have pretty good customer service and respond to emails very quickly.

    You were already provided the answer. If you do not have a backup of the phone while the photos were on the phone, they are gone. When you restore your phone from an old backup, anything that has been saved to the phone since that backup is deleted. Sorry.

  • I need to update my Apple ID to reflect my new e-mail address, but seem to have created a whole new Apple ID instead. Please help!

    Hi- not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm hoping to merge my two Apple ID's, or at least get rid of the new one that isn't linked to either of my devices. I seem to have my old Apple ID, that is linked to my Iphone 4 and Mac Book Pro, Itunes etc. And my NEW Apple ID, with the correct e-mail address, that isn't linked to anything. I have tried to change my Apple ID by managing my account, but it won't let me change the e-mail address as the correct address is already being used. Please help, anyone!
    Thank you,
    Julie.

    Hi Julie, I have the same issue (except to complicate matters even further the .me address I'd like to keep is an alias) and have spent over an hour on the 'Express Support' chat tonight; where I've been told that to date Apple will not merge two accounts and if you choose to delete one account, that .me address/ID will never be available again ... I did ask if this was something Apple were looking at changing, but was told:
    "Once an @me.com email address is created once it is used forever. To create an account you would have to use an email address that would have never been used before. I wish there was a way for us to do that, however there is not. The only way to free up an @me.com email address would be if we recycled accounts and we currently are not doing that."
    Crystal, the support technician, then went on to state:
    "When you remove an alias from an account that permanently deletes it and makes it unable to be used again on that account it was deleted from or on another account."
    followed (after my attempts at suggesting various work-arounds) by:
    "Merging of Apple IDs is something that we are unable to do. There are a series of Apple Discussion Boards stating this as other customers discuss not be able to merge their IDs also. If you click on Frequently asked questions at this link, it also states that we cannot merge IDs: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895"
    Bless Crystal, she really did try to help, but this looks like an option we'll just have to wait for! Hope this makes sense ...

  • My Applications keep Freezing - Brand New Mid-2010 iMac.  Please Help

    Hello - I am extremely frustrated because I just received my brand new iMac in the mail (27" i7 2.93GHZ / 2 TB HD / 4GB 2x2 SDRAM) and my applications keep freezing.
    Let me give an example -
    I keep trying to open iPhoto so that I can import and export photos from my other Mac and my iPhone. Just about any time I do any big upload, the whole iPhoto freezes on me and I have to force quit.
    Another example (the one that is bugging me most right now): I am trying to paste 3 pages of text into a word document in Microsoft Word, and every time I attempt to do this, Word freezes.
    I understand these are both rather minor in the grand scheme of things, but I just got this fricken thing and I'm hoping I can take some measure to avoid my applications freezing... Do I not have enough memory for running these simple day-to-day tasks? I was thinking about buying 2x 4GB OWC memory to make my computer 12GB instead of 4GB. Please help - I'd love to hear any opinions. Should I take it in? Or is it a simple fix? Even when I first booted my computer there was lag getting the introduction information to load.

    Dang...
    I was hopeful that this would have solved the problem. Unfortunately, it must be a software problem of some sort. I reset my PRAM(?) and did the disk utility cleanup or whatever it is called. I do appreciate you giving your 2 cents. Does anybody else have any ideas? Microsoft Office is still freezing up when I try to paste something from the internet -- Oddly enough, it isn't happening when I'm posting text from some websites, but is from others. The firewall is turned off, so I don't think its a security issue. Please help! I need some way to put my academic transcript in a word file so that I can email it for reference, so this is kind of urgent! Thank you.
    Should I try a software update?

  • New Hard drive not working - please help!!!

    This is an original thread that I'd started:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2066043&tstart=0
    Since that, I tried the following this morning.
    I took out the old 100GB drive and fitted the new 500GB (blank) drive. My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have. What actually happened was the following:
    I put in my Mac OSX install disc 1. I opened disc utility from the top toolbar. In disc utility the new drive showed up and I formatted (erase option) it to mac OS Extended (journalled). I then began a fresh install of OSX. As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued. All was going well and it prompted for the second install disc. It got some way through that and then got stuck at 38% installing garage band loops. The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
    I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
    But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
    Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
    Your help is very much appreciated

    Hi VS,
    What "reading device" are you using?
    As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
    It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.

    How long was it "stuck?"

    It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

  • NEW IPOD NANO NOT WORKING, PLEASE HELP

    Hi Guys,
    I have the large IPOD (4 YEARS OLD) and bought a 2nd Ipod Nano that's smaller for the gym. I plugged it into my MAC BOOK PRO and it keeps saying it needs to be updated which I press "OK" and then it asks for my password and when I type it in, it keeps stating it's "incorrect"? What should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

  • I just updated my ipad2 to ios7 0.2 latest update, but when I go to apps store to upgrade I don't see the upgrade button, nor when I go in for new apps I don't see free button to download new apps. Could you please help

    I just updated my ipad2 to ios7 0.2 latest update, but when I go to apps store to upgrade I don't see the upgrade button besides each app, nor when I go in for new apps I don't see free button to download new apps. Is there any setting that missed ?  please help...

    What do you see instead of update on the apps you are concerned about?
    When updating to iOS 7 auto update for apps will be turned on. When an app has an update available your iPad will download and install the update with no input from you. Apps that have been updated by this automatic process but which have not yet been opened will show a blue dot before their name.
    A record of updated apps is kept for your convenience. You can see this record by using the App Store app and select Updates, the right most choice in the bottom row.
