Using Aperture 3 with new (2011) iMac

Currently I have been using Aperture 3 with my MBP. My library is on an external drive. When I bought my iMac, I hooked up my drive to that machine and then opened Aperture and I got a message that popped up saying something like my library was 32bit and the iMac is 64bit and I would have to convert my entire library over to be able to use AP3 on my iMac. Does this sound right. I remember it was something along those lines and I ended up not converting all my files and still use my MBP instead.

How is your workflow set up? How are you moving the Aperture Library around? What OS X and what Aperture versions?
After backup to an independent drive (stuff happens...) make sure all apps and the OS are current. Also read this regarding

  • I have used my older Mac Pro and now my new 2011 imac fo play the many movies and TV shows I have dowloaded. Great results. But I also have a lot of Blu Ray disks.

    I am going to load windows 7 via Boot Camp for other reasns. After that is done, and even with an external Blu Ray player, is it still not possible to play Blu ray movies?
    Thanks for your consideration.....

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
    iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod

    Thanks,

    You must be using an update CD.  You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

  • Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

    Does the new 2011 iMac come with a osx lion preinstalled or a osx lion USB drive

    I just bought the 17" MacBookPro the other day with Lion preinstalled and wanted to install Lion on my iMac. It makes sense that I should be able to upgrade for free you spend all this money on Apple products, give us apple supporters a break. Maybe this is something that Apple overlooked and in the future there will be a fix.
    I read up on forums and I finally called AppleCare they said that I should be able to install Lion on 5 other computers but only if purchased in the store, this doesn't make any sense. I feel like I already purchased a copy and that copy should be able to be installed on another computer. It should be as simple as logging in app store with the same apple ID and it be there to install on my iMac. If apple is trying to make everything user friendly, device syncying and convenient well it's not; this is just something they think of. I refuse to pay $30 for another copy. Fix this issue APPPLE!!!
    Because if those who bought computers in July that didn't have Lion preinstalled can obtain a free copy to install in 5 computers. I should be able to do the same with the Lion that I bought preinstalled it's just make sense to me.

  • I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder "Music" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."?

    I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder “Music” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents".  Why cant i access the files from my old mac?  I tried the time machine and that isnt working either.  I have files that I need to use on my new mac, all my old programs and such.  I thought they said it was easy to get your files from one mac to another.  Please help.

    Your account names are probably different on the two Macs. If you know the UNIX command line, open a terminal window and run:
    $ id 
    You should see a line that starts with something like this:
    uid=501(your_user_id_here)
    now check the owner of the folder you copied over:
    $ ls -ld Music
    drwx------+ 8 some_user_id_here  staff  272 May 14 16:08 Music
    Do the IDs match? If not, you could change the ownership. Say your id is "johnsmith"
    $ chown -R johnsmith Music
    Now try and access it with iTunes.

  • Can I use aperture 3 with 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo?

    Can I use Aperture 3 with an imac with a 2.4 ghz intel core duo processor?

    Yes. I still use a 2006 2.33 GHz C2D MBP with 3 GB RAM as a backup box, and it "works." Be aware that iMac is underpowered overall for Aperture usage, but some folks do OK with it (4 GB RAM minimum). Like DLS said, more RAM is better than less RAM. 8 GB RAM is generally appropriate, but I can even overload the 8 GB in my 2011 MBP when running an aggressive Aperture/Photoshop workflow.
    Also the stronger the GPU the better, and an SSD is far far preferable to a hard drive for boot, because any page outs go to SSD instead of to the horribly slow 2.5" laptop drive.

  • How to use track effects with new version of GarageBand

    In the version of GarageBand before this one, you could access different effects that you could manage and apply to the different tracks.  Each track had an area containing its set of effects that were either activated or deactivated.  With this removed, i am not sure how to add those same kind of effects.  I am aware of the new nobs that are provided in order to mix and edit trebles, bass, mid, etc., but i want to be able to add different effects such as voice transformer, flanger, chorus, speech enhancer, bit crusher, bass amp, track echo, track reverb, amplifier, etc.  I desperately need help finding out how to do this, as this was a major part of my mixing and producing with GarageBand, and without these given effects, i do not feel as comfortable using GarageBand.

  • Before I buy has there been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Before I spend my hard earned cash does anyone know if there has been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Hello richard from Folsom:
    Are you inside or outside?  (  I could not resist, I lived in Sactown).
    Anyway, advice is frequently worth what you pay for it, and mine is free.
    If you want it, buy it.  The posts above are right on the mark (except waiting is probably overly-cautious).  The best advice (from anamusic) is to buy the extended warranty - well worth the money.

  • Having sound issues with Mid 2011 iMac 27"

    Having sound issues with Mid 2011 iMac 27". It has 10.10.2 OS X.  Could this the issue and if so how do I revert to 10.7.3

    It is almost impossible to diagnose sounds over the internet, however here is a link to some failing HD sounds. If one of yours be happy, at any rate take it in for service. If you got AppleCare or it's less than a year old it's covered.

  • Using iGlobe speakers with newer iMac

    I am so happy with may new iMac, but I thind maybe the speakers that came with my old iGlobe 700 Mhz were better than the internal ones in the nex one. However they have some strange plug that doesn't fit with the contact for earphones. Does anybody know if there is some connector out there that I can use?

    Hello, 
    The reason it has a proprietary connector is that it was a very high powered port and it a user inadvertently connected another set of standard speakers they would almost certainly be damaged.
    I've seen Pro Speakers on ebay where someone has cut off the proprietary connector and attached a standard 3.5mm jack. This works but the speakers are then very very quiet. The only real solution is either a new pair of speakers or there was an adaptor made by Griffin called the iFire:
    http://www.welovemacs.com/ifire.html
    However it's no longer made and it's second-hand value is pretty high.
    I too was fairly disappointed with the sound of the new Aluminium iMac compared to the iMac G4 with Pro Speakers although actually I've been living with it for eight months now. I did look at the LaCie Firewire speakers because they don't need a separate power supply but haven't been sure enough to spend my money yet!
