Several questions for first time Aperture user

Hello all, first time user here. Downloaded the trial and am thinking about purchasing the full version. I have a few questions here;
1. If I click buy to get the serial number, after authorizing the program, will the "Trial" word disappear from all the menus and setting? And will the library name changed from Aperture 3 Trial Library automatically to just Aperture 3 Library?
2. When I start importing photos from camera into A3, will I be able to use iPhoto to view or edit if I delete the original iPhoto library? In short, will iPhoto be able to share the same library when I start using A3?
3. After importing all existing photos from iPhoto, should and can I delete my iPhoto library?
4. Will I be able to use and install A3 on both my laptop and iMac at the same time or is it restricted to 1 computer?
Thanks all.

I don't think it will change the library name, but you should create a new library and import the trial library anyway IMHO
2. When I start importing photos from camera into A3, will I be able to use iPhoto to view or edit if I delete the original iPhoto library? In short, will iPhoto be able to share the same library when I start using A3?
In short: no, but you can view the images from one library in the other and drag them in if you like.
3. After importing all existing photos from iPhoto, should and can I delete my iPhoto library?
You can, but wait until you know everything is working right and backed up.
4. Will I be able to use and install A3 on both my laptop and iMac at the same time or is it restricted to 1 computer?
Yes the EULA allows a desktop and a laptop but not simultaneously. (If they're on the same network, it won't allow you to run them simultaneously.)

  • Good book for first-time computer user?

    I need to teach someone who has never used a computer how to use one. I have used computers all my life, so I don't know where to start. I thought I'd get a book. If it were Windows, I'm sure I could find a hundred books for a newbie. On a Mac, though, I'm not sure what exists out there, because most new Mac users have used Windows, whereas most new Windows users have never used a computer.
    Does anyone know of a good book that teaches a first-time computer user how to use a Mac?

    The David Pogue books are excellent but first, have you seen Mac 101?

  • Questions for first time user

    I have two problems. 1st....I downloaded pictures on my ipod and I can't get them to save to my computer. 2nd...I downloaded a movie on my ipod and it appears to be there, but doesn't play on the ipod. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
      Windows XP  

    If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer", open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131
    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
    http://www.copypod.net/copypodphoto.php
    Photos as thumbnails won't be very good quality when copied back to your computer.
    For the video, see this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Must Have Apps & Utilities for first time mac user?

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first mac and I was just wondering if the are any must have system utilities out there. I already have techtool deluxe which came with the apple care cd. I hear a lot of people talking about disk warrior and other programs...so I'm just wondering if there's some sort of a consensus on any must have utilities .
    Do macs even really need system utilities like PCs?
    Any advice would be very much appreciated,
    Thanks

    My two cents:
    There are no "must have" applications or utilities. Anything you must have is already built into the system.
    If you run your Mac 24/7 the periodic scripts will take care of themselves. If not, run them once a month with MacJanitor or Onyx or Cocktail or just in Terminal by entering :
    sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
    Enter your admin password and press Return. (You will not see your password.)
    I'm always very skeptical about getting freeware.This is an unfounded fear. You should fear both equally Actually, there are some excellent freeware apps and some are better than their shareware or even commercial counterparts.
    DiskWarrior is an excellent app to have and hopefully never have to use.(EDIT: TechTool Deluxe will also rebuild your directory if needed) I do very little to my Macs, unless I experience some problem which is seldom.
    Enjoy your Mac:)

  • Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do?

    Opening premier elements for first time. Been "gathering user info" for 15 minutes...what to do? Previously hit "organize", ran for 25 min till hit 100%, then "had to close"?

    Unfortunately, there's not enough info listed to give you an effective answer.
    Can you give more detailed system spec's.  There are a lot of differences in RAM, & Hard Drive Technologies.  Is your 2TB a single hard drive, or multiple drives in RAID?  While a single 2TB drive is nice for the storage capacity, they also sacrifice some performance to reach that capacity... What speed is the RAM, & I'm assuming it's properly opperating in Dual Channel mode (watch your POST screen to be sure).  Which Core i7 CPU are you running, & what Operating System are you running.   Finally, bring up your task manager, & see what processes are using CPU cycles.   Also, are you starting up PrE8 through the default shortcut which uses the Welcome screen?
    A quick guess is that Auto Analyzer & the Welcome screen are behind your troubles, but can't be sure till more info is available.
    There is a current thread about Auto Analyzer, & I've posted a way to bypass the Welcome screen in several threads. 
    See my post in this thread to bypass the Welcome screen http://forums.adobe.com/thread/516524 (2nd post in thread)

  • HT5312 I'm trying to buy iTunes for first time, but can't verify security questions.

    I'm trying to buy iTunes for first time and can't answer security questions.
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    The page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • HT204380 help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & it would not work. "FaceTime failed". we are both on wi-fi networks & iTunes accounts are set up correctly.

    help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user &amp; call refused to connect. Call would dial, allow us to accept call, then error message "FaceTime failed" would appear &amp; call disconnect. we are both on wi-fi networks, both phones have updated software &amp; both enabled FaceTime with iTunes logged in. don't know what else to do to get FaceTime to connect. Someone please help.

    Thanks Helen for the response. At least you can get some of the contacts to work. Absolutely none of mine will. Feel like my phone is cheating me out something it should do. Think I'm going to just have to dump all the Apple products in general because this phone hasn't worked right since I got it.

  • Performance issue in browsing SSAS cube using Excel for first time after cube refresh

    Hello Group Members,
    This is a continuation of my earlier blog question -
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a1e424a2-f102-4165-a597-f464cf03ebb5/cache-and-performance-issue-in-browsing-ssas-cube-using-excel-for-first-time?forum=sqlanalysisservices
    As that thread is marked as answer, but my issue is not resolved, I am creating a new thread.
    I am facing a cache and performance issue for the first time when I try to open a SSAS cube connection using Excel (using Data tab  -> From Other Sources --> From Analysis Services) after daily cube refresh. In end users system (8 GB RAM but around
    4GB available RAM), for the first time, it takes 10 minutes to open the cube. From next run onwards, its open up quickly within 10 secs.
    We have daily ETL process running in high end servers. The configuration of dedicated SSAS cube server is 8 core, 64GB RAM. In total we have 4 cube DB - out of which for 3 is full cube refresh and 1 is incremental refresh. We have seen after daily cube
    refresh, it takes 10 odd minutes to open the cube in end users system. From next time onwards, it opens up really fast with 10 secs. After cube refresh, in server systems (32 GB RAM, around 4GB available RAM), it takes 2 odd minutes to open the cube.
    Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
    As mentioned in my previous thread, we have already implemented a cube wraming cache. But, there is no improvement.
    Currently, the cumulative size of the all 4 cube DB are more than 9 GB in Production and each cube DB having 4 individual cubes in average with highest cube DB size is 3.5 GB. Now, the question is how excel works with SSAS cube after
    daily cube refresh?
    Is it Excel creates a cache of the schema and data after each time cube is refreshed and in doing so it need to download the cube schema in Excel's memory? Now to download the the schema and data of each cube database from server to client, it will take
    a significant time based on the bandwidth of the network and connection.
    Is it anyway dependent to client system RAM ? Today the bigest cube DB size is 3.5 GB, tomorrow it will be 5-6 GB. Now, though client system RAM is 8 GB, the available or free RAM would be around 4 GB. So, what will happen then ?
    Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

    Could you run the following two DMV queries filling in the name of the cube you're connecting to. Then please post back the row count returned from each of them (by copying them into Excel and counting the rows).
    I want to see if this is an issue I've run across before with thousands of dimension attributes and MDSCHEMA_CUBES performance.
    select [HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME]
    from $system.mdschema_hierarchies
    where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
    select [LEVEL_UNIQUE_NAME]
    from $system.mdschema_levels
    where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
    Also, what version of Analysis Services is it? If you connect Object Explorer in Management Studio to SSAS, what's the exact version number it says on the top server node?

The memory could not be "read". Click ok to terminate the propgram. Click on CANCEL to debug the program. I have tried re-installing several times, cleaned temp etc. Nothing.

    You have to unhide your library folder and adjust the user permissions to allow write access.

    Select a file you want to transfer and drag it to the desired destination.
    If you need help with the basics of OS X you can:
    Select Mac Help (or Help Center) from the Finder's Help menu and enter a search keyword. For your question you might search for "copy," "file copy," or "drag and drop" for example.

  • There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

    There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

    It says 'To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.'
    However I only have one account. I've tried to sign out and in several times. But it doesn't work. I do remember changing my password recently. Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie. I updated the mountain lion, thinking I'd get the iphoto and imovie done later. However now this problem has come up. Thanks for responding. Hoping to hear from you soon again regarding this.

  • Long time to open workbook for first time

    Hi,
    I have a workbook with three queries . Performance of workbook is good when it was created for first time. It has additional 22 sheets with formulas and other sheets with values based on query sheets.
    The problem starts after I close the existing session and open in another session when it takes 15 to 20 minutes to come up.But after that the book is slow even for single click button action.
    Version of analysis 1.4.6
    Win 7(64 bit)
    Ms office 2010(32 bit)
    Refresh on opening is disabled.
    Few thing which I did:
    >> I opened up task manager and did analyze wait chain, I found that excel.exe is waiting for splwow64.exe process.
    >> I enabled logging at "debugging information" in support setting for workbook and checked things out in log file.
    Found that
    There was warning "AddSerializer failed (Command processors not initialized)
    Looking at log file for events when book took time to open, I found that time stamp gap between  following events"
    -verbose: Working mode as serialized in document:'Local'
    -verbose: Successfully deserialized system info from workbook  XML
    - verbose: ...its logs various properties of queries like query name,id etc"
    and its immediate previous event of cache formula string is 20 mins.
    >> in another session I opened a workbook with normal performance.Found above mentioned warning message and deserialization... information.
    the difference in this case is that there is not delay in events.
    Has anybody faced this issue? Any idea on deserialization of workbook xml in analysis.
    Any idea where is metadata saved in analysis. is it in form of some hidden script object just as in BEx 7.0
    Thanks
    Pramod.

    Hi Pramod,
    Since you have several sheets in this workbook, have you checked the number of custom styles?
    Please check the SAP note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1899658
    According to the note, too many styles slow down Analysis for Office.
    The note also contains a macro that you can run on your workbook to delete the custom styles if you want to check.
    Regards,
    Filipe
