Snow Leopard 10.6.5 makes Aperture 3.1 slower. What gives?

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Aperture 3.1 1290000.2 in an attempt to make Aperture faster, but instead Aperture is now SLOWER than on Leopard! I am using an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB SDRAM, with the library located on my internal drive.
I have several thousand photos stored there, and am really, really annoyed that photos take several seconds to "load," and projects can take take 10 seconds to open. It seems to be i nearly constant "Processing" mode.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it fixable?

I would second that, 2GB is not enough to be running Ap.
Also for speeding up the system try some of the following.
Delete your Ap Preferences, I did yesterday for another reason and was blown away at the speed difference I gained without meaning to.
Run some System Maintenance with Disk Utility and an application like Onyx
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
Use the Aperture Library First Aid tools, this will fix any glitches in the library.

Let us know if any of these steps helps.

    Stick the 10.6 disk into the machine and reboot holding the option/alt key down on a wired/built in keyboard.
    On the second screen, under the Utilities menu is a Password Reset, use it.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    What this will do is reset the password and the user account permissions in the process.
    You might have problems with Keychain afterwards, to fix that.

         Hi Jennifer, there is no digital copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard presently available on the Mac App Store. Click here if you wish to purchase a copy from Apple.
    P.S. - It also seems to have free shipping

  • Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to use it?

    Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to have it work right?

    Netboot and Software Update, at its simplest.  Mac OS X Server also expects to have functional IP networking and DNS services (somewhere) on the LAN (and if you're behind a NAT gateway, then the DNS server(s) are on your LAN and not out at your ISP), or things get weird.  SUS (usually) works out of the box, outside of cases where there's an outbound firewall.  Netboot can be more effort to setup, in terms of what you're loading into the clients.

  • How do I tweak Snow Leopard (Finder & Safari) to make it behave more like Tiger?

    I've recently upgraded to a Mac Pro 4,1 from a Power Mac G4, and to Mac OS X 10.6.8 from 10.4.11 in the process.
    There are a few little ways in which Snow Leopard behaves differently to Tiger, and I'm wondering if (for each item on the list below) anyone has any suggestions on how I can make things behave as I'd like, rather than as they do.
    While I'm at it, I've included a couple of things that never behaved as I'd like in Tiger either, but which may also be alterable.
    I'd prefer, if possible, solutions that result from simple changes in settings, or perhaps "sudo" commands entered into Terminal, rather than having to install third party software.
    Also, I'd appreciate those that choose to reply refrain from suggesting I upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. These aren't options I can consider at the moment.
    1. In the Finder, clicking Go -> Recent Folders gives the 10 most recently opened folders. Is there a way to change this number?
    There isn't an option to do this in the "Appearance" preference pane, where "Number of recent items" can be set for "Applications", "Documents" and "Servers". There's also no option to alter the number of "Recent Folders" in any other preference pane that I can see. I've posted a similar list of questions over at the Macrumors forums, where the one reply I've had so far suggested I use the "General" preference pane, however I don't have one of these. I think "General" was possibly a pane in a much earlier version of Mac OS X?
    2. In the Finder, folders on the desktop often don't deselect the way they always did in Tiger. For example, if I double click a folder to open it, the folder's icon highlights. The folder often doesn't deselect / unhighlight though when I then click on the desktop or elsewhere. It often takes 2 or 3 additional clicks for the icon to deselect. Is this a known bug, and can it be fixed? The reply in the Macrumors forum says "It's a known bug, it's even worse in Mountain Lion.".
    3. In the Finder, under Preferences, I have "Always open folders in a new window" checked, as I prefer. Often though, I like to hold down the "alt" key when double clicking on a folder to open it, so that the enclosing folder closes at the same time as the folder I'm double clicking on opens, thereby overriding the preference I've set.
    In Tiger, the newly opening folder would always open at its previously set size & position. In Snow Leopard though, using the "alt" key causes the newly opening folder to open at the size & position of its enclosing folder instead, not at its previously set size & position.
    Worse, the folder then seems to "remember" this incorrect size & position which it takes from its enclosing folder, wiping out its previous (correct) size & position. Is there any way to make things behave like they did in Tiger?
    The reply in the Macrumors forum suggested I try "alt - command", but this makes things behave identically to "alt" on its own, as does using "command" on its own.
    Only when I don't use any modifier key does the opening window open at its correct size & position, but then without any modifier, the enclosing window remains open (as per my Finder preference selection), and its this preference that I often want to override, but with the newly opening window's correct size & position being maintained.
    4. In Safari (version 4.1.3) under Tiger, the "Command-`" keyboard shortcut (that's Command and the key to the left of the "z" key) cycles through each open Safari window in turn, before returning to the original window.
    However in Safari (version 5.1.7) on Snow Leopard, this keyboard shortcut seems to work very erratically. For example if I have, say, 8 windows open, the shortcut might only rotate through the 2 or 3 frontmost windows over & over again, rather than through all 8 in order. It might take 5 or 6 cycles of attempts before the rest of the windows appear at the front of the stack. This fault seems to be intermittent though. Is this a known bug, and can it be fixed?
    5. When I press "Command-f" in the Finder, a search window opens. I'm having 2 problems with the search window.
    Firstly, directly below the field where the search term is to be typed, is the word "Search:" with a row of only 2 buttons to the right. The first is labelled "This Mac" and the second is labelled with the name of the folder that I have set the "New Finder windows open:" preference to in Finder Preferences.
    I can't find any way of adding any further locations to this row of only 2 buttons. For example, "Macintosh HD" is in my sidebar, but I can't drag it to the row of buttons to create a new "Macintosh HD" button, nor can I find any other way to make the search only look in specific places (such as only on the "Macintosh HD" disk). I'm stuck with either "This Mac" or with the folder that I've set the "New Finder windows open:" preference to.
    How can I select where I want a search to take place? I could do this in Tiger with a couple of mouse clicks.
    Secondly, to the right of the 2 search location buttons is a small vertical bar, and then 2 further buttons, labelled "Contents" and "File Name". The "Contents" button is always selected by default. How can I make the "File Name" button the default rather than the "Contents" button?
    Many thanks in advance for any input anyone has.

    AFAIK, there's no default setting to change that. Take a look at defaults for Finder.

    AFAIK, that's normal behavior. The folder opens and gets focus. To return to the Desktop requires a click to gain focus and the click the Desktop to deselect anything previously selected.

Often though, I like to hold down the "alt" key when double clicking on a folder to open it, so that the enclosing folder closes at the same time as the folder I'm double clicking on opens, thereby overriding the preference I've set.
    Still works that way here in SL.
    In Tiger, the newly opening folder would always open at its previously set size & position. In Snow Leopard though, using the "alt" key causes the newly opening folder to open at the size & position of its enclosing folder instead, not at its previously set size & position.

    Nope. You're in the minority, so Apple changed it, since more wanted it that way than the old Tiger way.
    4. In Safari (version 4.1.3) under Tiger, the "Command-`" keyboard shortcut (that's Command and the key to the left of the "z" key) cycles through each open Safari window in turn, before returning to the original window.
    Can't help, since I normally only use one window and many tabs. Also, I don't see that shortcut. Enable the Debug menu option and peruse Debug->Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts.

    How can I select where I want a search to take place? I could do this in Tiger with a couple of mouse clicks.
    Not possible. Apple's crippled Spotlight as it's brought the OSs forward. Best is to start your search in the folder you want to search. See Snow Leopard's wrong changes, for starters.
    Secondly, to the right of the 2 search location buttons is a small vertical bar, and then 2 further buttons, labelled "Contents" and "File Name". The "Contents" button is always selected by default. How can I make the "File Name" button the default rather than the "Contents" button?
    Use CMD+SHIFT+F. Ultimately, I strongly suggest creating a savedSearch with your desired criteria and use it, bypassing CMD+spacebar and CMD+F. This is what I use:

  • I have aperture 1. When I uploaded Snow Leopard I couldn't open Aperture.Do I have to purchase Aperture 3 or can I just purchase the latest download and have it work?

    I have an I Mac and on it is Aperture one. i have all my photos on it. When I bought Snow Leopard, I could no longer use Aperture because it says i can't open it with Snow Leopard. Do I have to buy a brand new Aperture 3 or can  i just download the most recent Aperture 3 download. In other words does the recent download allow me to start using it again, or do I have to go through buying all the downloads?

    You can just purchase Aperture 3. If you do this from the App Store it will cost you $80 US but this is still cheaper then buying the individual upgrades.

  • I can't find the mac app store on my imac. i am running snow leopard, and i have run "update software" several times. what's up?

    I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I need to go through Mac App store to buy it. I need to get the Mac App store icon in my dock. I have run Update Software several times, trying to get the Mac App store onto my iMac, but with no luck. It doesn't show up in the dock, it doesn't show up in Finder under Applications, and it doesn't show up when I search in Searchlight for App Store, Store, Mac App Store, etc. What am I doing wrong?

    I am running snow leopard
    James....
    You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That should reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
    You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
    Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements

  • I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now it runs much slower.

    I have a MacBook that came with Snow Leopard. I have used this for about 4 years now and just upgraded to Yosemite. Now my mac runs slower, each page takes longer to load, sometimes when I'm typing (especially right after waking up) it can't keep up, when I click things it seems to not register it or it needs to be clicked harder.. when I power down i have to press the pwr button a few times or hold it (can't figure it out) to make it respond. Help!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, 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.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite 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.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • Imposible continue the installation of Snow leopard 10.6 on a 1TB external hard disk, what can I do?

    Imposible continue with the installation of Snow leopard 10.6 on a 1TB external hard disk. I did the same last year and I continued working but suddenly appeared the simbol with a folder and a question mark and I know this is a problem so I click in the format option to the hard disk and when I tried to install again Snow Leopard, 'cause I want to recover my backups with Time Machine, I couldn't continue because the installation didn't respond to the click in the Utilities option or to next step > continue . Please, What can I do? I'll wait for your answers. Thank you so much in advance.

    Hello Melophage,
    It is the original hard drive which should have been erased by the previous owner. The problem is, I cannot access it without any OS installed. Or maybe there is a bootable USB or DVD that can do it ?
    Just an indication: when I boot without CD inserted in it, it shows a grey folder icon with a questionmark like this one:
    Thank you for your help

  • Cannot install snow leopard in macbook pro early 2011. disk is rejected. what do I do?

    Unable to install snow leopard in macbook pro early 2011. When I put in the disk, the computer does not accept it. What can I do?

    lord1908,
    some Early 2011 MacBook Pros originally came with Snow Leopard installed, and some originally came with Lion installed. If yours originally came with Snow Leopard installed, then you should be able to install Snow Leopard from its model-specific grey Mac OS X Install DVD. (The white retail Snow Leopard DVD can’t be used with it; it was made for use with earlier models, which originally came with either Tiger or Leopard installed.) If yours originally came with Lion installed, then it won’t accept any Snow Leopard DVD; instead, you’d be able to use OS X Internet Recovery to download and install its original version of Lion from Apple’s servers.

  • Recently safari has been quit unexpectedly I've upgraded to snow leopard and I have the latest safari software. What can I do about it to rectify the problem?

    Recently Safari has been quitting unexpectedly. I've dumped my cache several times and even upgraded to snow leopard.l I have the latest version of Safari 5.0.5. The situation has gotten quite annoying and been going on for about three weeks now. What can I do to fix this short of bringing it to someone?
    I restart and it works fine for  awhile and then it quits again. I either restart and/or dump the cache AGAIN! This is getting quite tedious. I've even taken the battery out and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to stop the quitting.

    I just purchased and downloaded snow leopard and now I cant access my parallels 3.0 application.  What do I do now so I can get back into my windows

    I just purchased and downloaded snow leopard
    Uh…no, you didn't. Snow Leopard is not available as a download, and never has been. So that means you're running Lion, in which case Parallels 3 definitely won't be compatible with it. You need to check what you're really running and use that information to post in the correct forum, as well as provide the necessary information about it.

  • Snow leopard iMac fails to start up have time machine - what next?

    I have an iMac which is powering up the showing a spinning icon and the apple logo. But it goes no further. I have tried presiing shift on start up and zapping the pram but no improvement.
    For a while the iMac has been failing to start up but always did second time round.
    What is the strategy here? I have an external drive with time machine backups and the snow leopard install disks. I also have access to extra external hard drives and a mac mini.
    What would you recommend and what is the issue?

    Hi ukcfuser;
    Where is Time Machine backing up to?
    Hopefully not your system disk because it may have filled it up which can prevent you Mac from starting.
    I would suggest that you boot from the install DVD for your Mac. Let us know that results of that.

    I just recently moved from FL (where I had great service) to PA. My zip is 17814 and I have a Samsung Galaxy III phone which really doesn't work anywhere except when I go 2 the nearest town. I  am most annoyed because my neighbor has a Sprint phone and he can get service even at my house! I hope I don't have 2 get another  cell phone while I am in PA...I have been a Verizon customer 4 many years.
