Upgrading to Mountain Lion plus Aperture firmware update - problems
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion and uploading recent Aperture firmware my Adjustments section has gone haywire. I've lost the 'Advenced' section in Highlights and Shadows and the Highlights and the Shadows sliders have become very ineffective compared to before. The consequence is that I cannot balance very bright areas of the picture with darker areas. Before, this work brilliantly! I have tried re-lnstalling Aperture but to no effect. I would be very grateful for suggestions. Thanks.
The "Advanced" section in the "Highlights&Shadows" brick has been deprecated with Aperture 3.3.
It will only be active, as long as you have an image in your Aperture library, that has been adjusted with the old pre-Aperture 3.3 adjustment.
To get it back, import an Aperture library that still has it.
See Kirby Krieger's post here:
How to not miss that olde-tyme Highlights & Shadows 7-slider Brick
I put an Aperture Library with a single image with highlight and shadow adjustments here for download:
http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/Templates2.aplibrary.zip
Download and uncompress it if you like, then you can import it as a template to generate a preset.

I curently have Snow Leopard MAC OS X 10.6.8 & want to upgrade to Mountain Lion - would I encounter any problems? If so -- what?

2. OS X Lion and Mountain Lion aren't compatible with PowerPC applications. After upgrading, if you have a PowerPC application (as Office 2004, AppleWorks, old Final Cut Pro editions, etc.), they will be moved to a special folder and they will stop working. Check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you are unable or unwilling to update to Intel versions of your PowerPC applications (if you have any), you can install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion and continue to use most PowerPC applications concurrently with Lion or Mt. Lion:

Upgraded to Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.4.5 dng not supported?
Hi,
I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8.4
Also downloaded Aperture update to 3.4.5
Now, many of my dng images are showing as Not Supported. I checked compatibility on Pentax K-30 and they are supported in Mountain Lion.
I also downloaded the latest RAW support file from update today.
Does anyone know what I should do?
I have converted the entire Ap 3 library to the current format, as directed by a dialog message when opening Ap3 after the update.
Thanks in advance,

IPhoto update impossible after upgrading to Mountain Lion?
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion today and when I subsequently went into the iCloud settings I was surprised to learn my version (9.1.3) of iPhoto was not capable of supporting iCloud. The information stated if iPhoto had not been installed from the App Store, then one should go the the apple icon in the top left corner and select "Software Update" from there. When I do that, it is reported I do not have an update available. However, if I open iPhoto and check for an update from its menu, it indicates an update (two, actually) is available but when I click the "Open Software Update" button, I am directed back to the App Store where...no update available is the information provided.
I would really like to use iCloud Photo Stream and is one of the reasons I ponied up $20 to "upgrade" to Mountain Lion. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have been a MS/Windows user for 20+ years and this initial exposure to difficulties with the Mac OS is not what I expected.
Thanks.Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Try the download while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Must I upgrade to Mountain Lion just to be able to use Aperture on my new cameras? I am using Snow Leopard now and have upgraded to Lion but didn't like it and didn't like that I was required to upgrade a couple of my other programs (Power PC stuff). Seems a bit of a rip off to me. I've just gotten a Canon 6D and have a Fuji X Pro 1, neither of which RAW files are readable by Aperture.
The RAW converter Aperture uses is part of OS X (and is, therefore, system-wide). Updates to the RAW converter are, effectively, OS updates. If that update is not available for your OS, then you cannot use it.

Depends on your camera, but it is certainly possible.
The Fuji X-Pro1 sensor does not use a Bayer array. Afaik, there has never been a non-Bayer-array sensor camera supported by Apple. -
Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?
here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
"Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."
We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012. -
I've reset my PPAM before to get around Firmware lock, but I've upgraded to mountain lion and now need to do the same thing, but I can't reset the PRAM. I've heard of the chip that is on the post 2011 macs, but I must not have one? What to do? Also, I can not get start up chimes unless I have the factory startup disk in. Can the PRAM be reset with the factory startup disk in or must the mac boot from the hard drive? Need help.

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked
Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced -
I have upgraded Snow Leopard with Combo 10.6.8, the supplemental update and fixed permissions, but still can't open app store to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I am on the Cayman Islands. Thanks for the help!
Don't be afraid to bump this topic. There's also an App Store forum where you might repost this question, but give some of these details in your post. I'd rephrase the topic to something like "Can't use App Store to upgrade." (Instead of can't "open".) Then give the details.

Aperture email sharing (Outlook) not working since upgrade to mountain lion
Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and sharing of photos via email no longer works. I've seen posts of problems with Apple mail; but not sure if others are having this issue with outlook. When I choose 1 or multtiple photos to share vioa email; it goes through an export process, Outlook dialogue email opens, but NO attachements or files embedded.
This worked fine before upgrade; others experienced or have solution? I can certainly send photos the "old fashioned" way; but at 10mb a photo, not practical. Very frustrating.I have found it. It seems that in Lion we had to convert the filename from Mac native to Posix format, in mountain lion this is no longer necessary. If you want to modify the script here are the instructions:
Finder->Applications. Right click on Aperture and choose "Open package contents"
Contents->Plugins. Open "Microsoft Outlook.applescript" (with the applescript editor)
You should see the following 3 lines:
-- convert the image path from UNIX to Mac
set this_imagefile_path to (POSIX file this_imagefile) as string
make new attachment at new_message with properties {file:(this_imagefile_path)}
these should be replaced with this line:
make new attachment at new_message with properties {file:(this_imagefile)}
You are not allow to directly edit this file so save a duplicate somewhere.
Rename the original script file.
Copy the modified file to the Contents->Plugins folder of the package. It has to be called "Microsoft Outlook.applescript"

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue
Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
Have you tried reinstalling 1Password? Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it. (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.) You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
As with anything else, be sure to run a backup first!

I bought my Macbook pro in 2010 and had Snow Leopard which I upgraded when Mountain Lion was available. Now it keeps saying Mavarick is available. Is that another update? Or is that something else?
Mavericks is an upgraded System in the same way that Mountain Lion was, the difference being that it's free. You can download the installer from the Mac App Store (the system requirements are the same as for Mountain Lion so you should be OK there). I've not got it: reports suggest that it is an improvement over Mountain Lion but it has some quirks that may or may not be an issue for you. It has its own forum, so you could look there for information.

If I upgrade to Lion now will mountain lion be a free update?
If I upgrade to Lion now will mountain lion be a free update?
I really hope that Apple will do the right/ethical thing and give recent (within the 8-9 months) purchasers of macbook, macbook pros, macbook air, and people who just bought single OS copies of Lion OS-either a free copy of Mountain Lion or a huge discount price on the OS ($5.00 max ). Let's be honest here....Mountain Lion is the patched up Lion. Apple couldn't release an update large enough to fix the problems with Lion so they instead created a new OS. They know that is the truth.
As someone who just bought a macbook pro that came pre-installed with Lion (had no choice really but to accept that or completly wipe it clean and try to put on Snow Leopard, but I was hesitant to because of being warned not to try that on the pre-installed macbook pros.) I don't feel it is right that I would have to pay for another OS when I was already supposed to have a functional OS included with my recent major purchase. Let's think about it for second: when I got a powerbook g4 around 2004/05 I paid about the same price as this macbook pro i now own. With that I got the lap top, the installer OS cds (a functional OS I might add), manual, stickers, a vga adapter, s-output cord, ac adapter, ac extension cable, and phone cord. With the 2011 macbook pro I got the laptop, manual, stickers, ac adapter, ac extension cable, and cloth to wipe off my screen. I didn't get any s-video output or vga adapter, and I'm actually glad that they didn't give me any lion installer cds because that would have been a waste of optical disc. What came free in a box over 6 years ago (vga adapter display port) is now $30 extra at the apple store. Also, no s-video. So I can't hook it up to an external monitor or tv. (and no, I can't just go and buy a fake one on amazon because I have analog so i would on top of that buy a pc converter box. ) I honestly wouldn't mind buying the converter box... had I gotten a free vga display adapter with my laptop. Also let's compare a minor difference in applecare: back then I got a receipt and a box with some info and a applecare test cd that was good for diagnostic utility testing. while maybe a bit old fashioned, I still like having cds that I can use for testing problems. This time, I didn't get any info box or cds, or a receipt for that matter--well i did get an email saying I had extendedapple 3 year but I never had the chance to make a phone confirmation that proves I am in service. I feel that is a bit risky sending people home without a hard copy of your purchase. They could just claim you didn't buy it. maybe i'm just old fashioned that way. To be clear, i can't compare the actual service of applecare of present day and former because so far I haven't had enough use of it to compare it yet.
What I'm getting at is that with the money they saved on gypping me with included accessories and a function OS, surely they could afford to right the situation by giving me a free copy of the new OS Mountain Lion. I might add, that way back when I had my powerbook g4 I went into to apple's genius bar one day and was trying to get an issue fixed regarding the itunes razor phone I had just purchased (way back before iphone had just come out) the music wasn't transferring from my computer to my phone. The guy was very very nice and he said he couldn't fix the problem with the phone (the usb turned out to be damaged) and he upgraded my panther to tiger for free!
That is an example of good customer service. That is example of keeping loyal apple customers.
---also--I found something posted on another forum that I felt I just had to share that further demonstrates examples of extrodinary past customer service from Apple:
Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2004 2:35 am
I had the logic board in my iBook 800/12.1" (Nov. '02) replaced 3 times. After the 4th failure occured a couple of weeks ago, I called Apple Support and requested a replacement machine. They refused, and were fairly rude about it.
So, in a moment of desperation, I sent an email to Steve Jobs. I did not demand a replacement machine. I simply said that I was extremely displeased with the quality of my iBook and I would no longer be purchasing or advocating Apple products. I wished Mr. Jobs the best of luck in Apple's future endeavors.
Two days later, I received a call from Apple's Corporate Executive Relations team. The woman I spoke with apologized profusely for my troubles with the iBook. She explained the logic board replacement program to me in great detail, and then, without any prompting from me, asked if a new iBook G4 (as a replacement) would cause me to reconsider leaving the platform. **** yes. So, I'm typing this post on a brand new 1Ghz, 12.1" iBook G4
Needless to say, despite the trouble with the machine, and the heartburn of dealing with Apple Support - in the end I'm left feeling fairly impressed with Apple. In the end, they did the right thing, and kept a customer.
