Updating to Mavericks with old Aperture

Im planning on updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard and are currently using an old version of aperture (2.1.4) as my primary photo app with all photos stored in the aperture library as .appprojects). However Im worried that when I update the os it will no longer recognise this older aperture format and as Im not planning on updating to the newest aperture I dont want to lose all my photos.
I tryed exporting (within aperture) all projects to a desktop folder as jpg so when I update they're in a common file that can be recognised by any photo app but for some reason it doesnt export them all and in some projects it leaves more than half the photos in a project not exported (I have a mixture of raw and jpg if that makes any difference?).
Whats the best way to make sure I dont lose photos when I update?
Thanks, Mark.

If you upgrade to Mavericks and upgrade to Aperture 3.5.1 it will recognize and upgrade your library. You should have a current up-to-date backup (personally, I'd have a vault, AND a full backup on another drive).
Aperture 2.1.4 "sorta" runs on Mavericks. Some functionality (like the loupe) is broken and it's unsupported so it will never be fixed. Aperture 3 shipped a full 4 years ago now, so Aperture 2.1.4 is long gone from a support perspective.
Exporting projects to a folder, etc., is the wrong way to go about it. You'll lose metadata about your photos, projects, and all that.

  • Upgrading to Mavericks with problematic Aperture Lib

    I have a 30K image DB (referenced), which I repair often and rebuild as needed, but errors persist.  I am now exporting major chunks as new "sublibs", but it will take months to repair.  I'm reimporting all images (at least on all the older projects) and reapplying adjustments, all very laborious, but this is the only way I have found to expose and eliminate specific problems. 
    I would like to upgrade to Mavericks, but if I need to have a clean lib first, as advice on this forum seems to indicate, then that would be a long way off for me.  Plus, I don't think I can ever be sure I have completely rid myself of errors.
    So the questions are: is the new version of Aperture completely unable to deal with old problems?  Must I do all corrective work first?  What if there are errors when I try to upgrade?  What is my best strategy?
    My lib includes projects from old iPhoto events (some imports are recent, though I no longer use iPhoto since 2010) as well as direct imports, since I started using Ap3 Beta in early 2010.  I'm finding many errors in these older parts, but a few show up more recently as well.  I have twice had to replace my external HDD due to gradual degredation, so that is the likely source of some of the problems.

    The library (~100GB) is on the internal HDD, but the masters (~1TB) are on an external HDD. (I'm not sure this answers your question.)
    Note: In earlier years, I used a third party utility to extract some events from the iPhoto lib, but recently I have only used the built-in functionality.
    As to recurring errors, my opinion is that there are errors that cannot be detected, or else they cannot be repaired, by the repair utility.
    One example is that there seem to be "covert" items. At least some of these apparently are photos that I deleted long ago, but that were not completely expelled. A clue to this are some old keywords that appear in the Keywords list, and may or may not show non-zero counts. These items cannot be found by filtering, so they cannot be tracked down.  I have found some of these items by creating a new project and moving all selected images from the old to the new project, then deleting the old project. The total item count will change and there may be things in Trash, which cannot be viewed but can be deleted. I have sometimes found errors, by accident, by changing the filter settings in a new way (this is very rare, and make no obvious sense).
    Another example is that trash often shows up after I export groups of projects as new libraries, then I delete the old projects from the main lib.  And, I'm finding many of these "ghosts" in the new lib; these have no links to reference files, though they are not managed.  So far, repairing the new libs seems to be effective (fingers are crossed).
    Another example is that there are many images that I haven't touched in several years, and may have Upgrade buttons on some adjustments. On some of these photos subsequent adjustment fails (expecially curves). Reimporting the photo is the only cure for these.  In many cases applying the same adjustments to the reimported photos have a different effect.

  • Updated to mavericks with early 2008 macbook.

    The mavericks requirements say late 2008 models but i have an early 2008 model and It meets the hardware requirements, 2 gig ram, 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo, OS X 10.6.8, anybody with early 2008 model update to mavericks without problems?

    It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks require 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks no longer support Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
    While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion and Mavericks are pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

  • Upgrading to Maverick with old hardware (July 2007)

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 + combo v1.1., it works fine.
    I have an old hardware (July 2007), is it safe for me to buy and install Maverick...or should I stop here? thanks for advising

    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

  • Cannot update apps downloaded with old Apple ID after changing ID

    My wife and I used to share my Apple ID on all mobile devices (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) and Mac so we could share contacts, calendar, purchases (apps & music).  My Apple ID was an inactive email address.  When I bought my iPhone 6 I decided to change Apple ID to a current email address and she created her own Apple ID for her iPhone 4S and iPad 2.  Figured we could still share data through Family Share.  Changed Apple IDs on all devices to the current ones.
    Now, she cannot update apps on her devices as she gets message that her apps were downloaded with another Apple ID.  It asks for password for that Apple ID (my old ID), and the passwords for my previous Apple ID and my new password don't work.  I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work.
    Also, is there a way to share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way.  We don't seem to be sharing any longer since making all these changes.  Why did I make the changes?  Because using the same Apple ID on all devices was causing me to get her text messages and vice versa, and other strange things after updating to iOS 8.
    I have iPhone 6, she has 4S and iPad 2.  Have a MacBook Pro circa mid-2010 running Yosemite, version 10.10.2.  Mobile devices run iOS 8.1.3

    It is a good thing you made 2 separate Apple ID.
    I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work
    It's normal it didn't work because you are reinstalling apps (that are on the Mac) that were purchased/obtained from your Apple ID. She needs to reinstall them through the App Store on her device, using her Apple ID.
    share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way
    Calendars can be shared through iCloud (A)(without Family Sharing), or using the following method (B) used for the contacts.
    Contacts can neither be shared through iCloud or through Family Sharing.
    To get them synced: Get all of your wife's contact on your iOS device. (you can send them to your iOS device through iMessage)
    then go to your wife's iOS device: Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
    From there, disable her iCloud contacts, then add YOUR iCloud account, and select only contacts (and calendar if you want the method (B)).
    This should answer all your questions.
    Cheers

    We can now login with the new id, but cannot update older apps bought woth the old id.
    It seems that we cannot change the id in the app.

  • Updated to mavericks and old photobooth photos were resized/cropped? how do i recover the original photo?

    i launched photobooth for the first time after upgrading from snow leopard to mavericks (ugh, hate mavericks) and noticed it "updated" all my photobooth files by resizing them. now they're all funky looking and cropped. does anyone else have this problem? how do i recover the original uncropped photos?

    Select the photo in iPhoto and use the command "File > Export" and set the "Kind" in the Export panel to "Original". That will write a copy of the original to a folder you can access in the Finder.
    The command "File > Reveal in Finder" will show you the original inside the iPhoto Library, but you must not access the files this way. If you access them from other apps using the Finder, you will corrupt your library.
    See Terence Devlin's user Tips:
    iPhoto and File Management
    How to Access Files in iPhoto
    To what purpose do you need to find the files? Is there a problem and iPhoto giving an error message about missing originals?

  • Is there any way to get your pictures back after updating to maverick?

    is there any way to get your pictures back after updating to maverick?

    Is Aperture not launching at all? Then update Aperture like Ernie recommended. You'll need version 3.5.1, or 3.4.5 with Mavericks. If you have any Aperture 3 version, you should be able to update for free.
    After updating Aperture, make sure you have a backup copy of your Aperture library, before opening it in the new version.  Click the Aperture library, to open Aperture on your library.
    Or, is the problem, that Aperture opened on an empty library? Then check the file system on the drive with your Aperture library. It may have the wrong formatting. Then move your Aperture library to a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). Click the

    Bluetooth shuttted down after I updated to Mavericks, please help me !
    I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
    until I updated him from  SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
    2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
    ..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD  and the APPLE  MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
    I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
    That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
    I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
    I  asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
    When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth   ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
    Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
    I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
    I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
    Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?

    dietmarfromdeu,
    if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse?

  • After I updated my MacbookPro with a Maverick, my iphoto cannot be used anymore.  Is there a way to send my old iphoto albums to icloud or is it just too late?

    I updated my Mac with a Maverick, but my iphoto cannot be used any more  Is there a way to send my old iphoto albums to icloud or is it just too late? My iphoto icon is in my dock, but it's crossed out, and won't operate.

    Hi Barry! 
    I owe you a proper Thank you! You were right about me needing to update my software. I have been pretty clueless about many of the computer applications I've heard of, but I've learned a bit by doing what you suggested.  I was able to "fix" my iphoto and a I got a few other nice changes after updating the 3 free updates that were available to me.  Thanks so much! - One thing that was so wonderful about getting my iphoto "back" was being able to  share my photos with my Dad for this weekend-during his 88th birthday! 
    I'm glad I found you in our "community".  Hopefully,  I can learn enough to help others too, eventually.
    All the best to you,

  • How can I keep my old stock still running after updating to Maverick ?

    OK --» I bought a wonderful Architect software, but surprise ! it works only with higher OS than 10.6.8....
    I know my stuff is OLD and I'm okay to update to MAVERICK, but !! I don't want to lose my old softwares that I know by heart !
    So, I was thinking : if I make a BACKUP on a large USB Key... Will I be able to start my old Photoshop CS (for example) from the key ?... or something like that...
    In the past, this option worked (from a external disk) from my very old iMac... but am wondering if it still could be possible ?
    And BY THE WAY : my new ARCHITECT software has been downloaded to my actual 10.6.8 (but does not start...) will it STILL BE THERE after updating???
    Thankssssss a LOT for your support !
    Isabelle

    You need to know that "USB Key" technology may not be appropriate for a system disk.  Check out "wear leveling" on Wikipedia for a sobering discussion of the service life of solid-state drives.  Also read "solid-state drives" (Ibid.) for a detailed comparison with hard disk technology.

  • Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule.  Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades).  Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems.  But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule.  Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it.  Is there a work around?  Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower?  Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?
    I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
    My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
    When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?
