When a spanish version of Aperture???

This a question/claim/reminder for our dear Apple developpers.
It's really hard to understand how it is possible that a wonderful app as Aperture has not been yet translated into Spanish, a language that it is spoken by hundreds of million people in the world. It is clear that somebody in the decision-making office at Apple is not doing a good job in this respect, if they don't care about a huge market as the spanish speaking people.
That's all folks...
Best regards,
Alejandro Santamaría

It seems so. When smart Apple people link "pro" apps with lucky countries like Germany, France an Japan, it means that they are assuming that:
1. There are more than four hundred million people in the world (whose mother language is spanish) who are "amateur", and they are not interested in "pro" apps, but only in singing, dancing and fiesta, isn't it?
2. People speaking the second language in the world (after chinese) do not deserve to organize and edit photos with Aperture, if they have not learned English, and they are condemned to use apps from competitors like Photoshop, ACDSee,...
3. People living in lucky countries like Germany, France and Japan are not good enough in English, since they need "pro" apps like Aperture to be translated into their nice language. Apple has realized that, and took care of it.
Just for a little portion of culture, please refer to Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language
Anyone can be informed there that "Spanish is the third most commonly used language on the Internet after English and Mandarin. It is also the second most studied language and second language in international communication, after English, in the world."
I apologize if you feel at any moment that I've been a little sarcastic.
Thanks for your polite attention and regards,
Alejandro

How to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

I am trying to run a trial version of aperture 3.1, I have in the past run an earlier trial version and found it unsatisfactory, so neverwent ahead with the purchase. Now when I try to trial run the current version, I keep getting "trial expired" messages

I am trying to run a trial version of aperture 3.1, I have in the past run an earlier trial version and found it unsatisfactory, so I never went ahead with the purchase. Now when I try to trial run the current version, to see if it has improved on my system, I keep getting "trial has expired" messages.

I believe that Apple and most other vendors allow only one free trial.
You could call 1-800-SOS-APPL and ask customer support.

Cannot download aperture when using trial version and all photo work will be lost if delete trial version

App Store will not download aperture when using trial version and all 30 days of photo work will be lost if delete trial version to be able to purchase Aperture download version??? any ideas?

Your Aperture library is not deleted when you delete Aperture from the Applications folder. Neither are your settings BTW.
Do make certain your library is backed up!

When I external edit an aperture photo using Photoshop Elements 9 and then get out, the changes are not reflected in Aperture when I return - this used to work for me but doesn't seem to have for some time - help please?

Have used Aperture for some time - at some point this stopped working - not sure when
workflow:
click photo and elect to use the external editor (Photoshop Elements 9)
Copy of the photo is created in Aperture with the "O" badge and I am rolled out to Photoshop
Have to change the type to 8-bit in Photoshop to start making changes
When done and I exit I am prompted to save the photo
On returning to Aperture however the "O" badged photo does not get updated/reflect my changes
Other Things:
I can find a changed photo sitting in the Aperture Library using finder or Photoshop itself - so I know changes have been made a new file saved (TIFF).
I am wondering if I am missing some (new) preference such that the changes are not proerly being saved for re-display/storage in the Aperture Library
I am running Lion OSX at the moment but the behaviour was the same under Snow Lepoard versions.
Current version of Aperture is 3.1.3, Elements is 9.0
Any help/suggestions greatfully received

Try using psd. Some rerports indicate some confustion between the apps with TIFF. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15921933#15921933
I cannot confirm, nor test, since I use PS CS5, and not Elements.

"Error Importing Library: The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again." Help.

I'm getting the following Error message when trying to import some of my folders from my external hard drive. This is not happening with all of my photos. How can I access my photos? I now have Aperture 3.5, but I'm guessing I exported those with an earlier version of Aperture 3? I have a Mac Book, OS X 10.9
Thanks!

My advice is for libraries, not vaults.
To be able to use a vault, you have to restore the library from the vault and then open the restored library.
To restore the entire library from an external backup disk
Connect the hard disk drive that contains the most up-to-date vault to your computer and open Aperture.
Choose File > Vault > Restore Library.The Restore Library dialog appears.
Choose Select Source Vault from the Source Vault pop-up menu.
If necessary, navigate to the vault from which you want to restore, then click Select.
Click Restore, then click Restore again.

How do I transfer my entire library from an old version of aperture (1.5)?

I need to transfer my entire aperture library from an old version of aperture (1.5) on my old imac (G5) to my new imac with Aperture (3.0).
I have got a backup in the form of a vault, but aperture 3.0 doesn't seem to be accepting that to create a full new library in 3.0.
Any ideas on how to transfer my library? cheers

Incomplete information:
When i go to File>Vault> Restore Library, it does not recognise the vault as it was from a previous version of aperture and suggests that i 'import' the vault instead.
Fair enough. But when i try and import the vault, it shows the vault in that light grey colour, which means that i can see it, but it won't allow me to select..

Apple, do a demo version of Aperture like iWork '06

[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; Please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
It would be great if Apple released a 30-day demo version of Aperture that turns into a read-only version (a "reader" so to speak) after the demo expires.
This is what Apple did with iWork '06. It lets people try out the software for a while, but then still "play" with it after that point--but not save anything.
This would be a useful competitive strategy for that "other" new product that's available free in beta form. People like free, even if it goes away after a while. It's the whole addiction thing.
I'll submit this on the feedback page, too.

Before the release of Aperture Apple made available
3 quicktime videos showing Pro's using the new
Application. Each Pro gushed and said they were happy
with it. They indicated that it solved many of their
problems. Looking at those commercials again I see
they were carefully tailored to hide the parts of the
Aperture that do not work. I see that the "Pros" were
in fact paid actors, even though their day job might
be photography. I know this because Aperture is not
capable of a complete work-flow for the production of
quality images by a professional photographer that
captures and post processes all the way to a final
image, ready for a stock house or magazine.
Given that at least one of the photographers in the demo movies worked with TIFF into Aperture I find your analysis incorrect. There is no one aspect so broken it would prevent you from using the tool end-to-end, especially when starting with a TIFF. And the people in the movies were using to some degree the Photoshop integration which gives you any ability Photoshop has to produced finished work - if you needed to do so. I can't see how they could not have completed the jobs on display.
What shortcoming of Aperture do you honestly think would have prevented finishing the work? Remember complaining about conversion quality for a camera not used in the demo does not count as that's not qhat they were using.
<...>
What does this have to do with the original posters
point? Had Apple released a demo disk of Aperture
they would not have sold 1/10th of the copies they
did.
Given the many overly negative complaints like your own we see I believe Apple might sell 10x as many copies of Aperture if the populace at large realized how useful Aperture actually is instead of being scared away just because people do not like the RAW conversion for one camera and thus extrapolate that into the dubious claim that the whole product is generally unusable.

Aperture 3.5.1 says this library was opened with a newer version of Aperture, repairing it with this version may damage the library

I launched Aperture with Option Command on opening so that I could repair the unified database. After I select repair from the menu, I keep getting a strange error message that says "This library has been opened with a newer version of Aperture. Repairing the library using this version of Aperture may remove data supported only in newer versions of Aperture." I selected cancel and checked that I am running Aperture 3.5.1 and there are no updates showing up when I select Software Update. So how could I have opened it with a newer version of Aperture before? And what is it going to remove?
Aperture is telling me that my unified library needs to be repaired. I figured that out myself when photos started disappearing in events and albums in iPhoto, even though the event or album showed several photos were there in the number of photos in the top right, no images appeared. But I have never received this error message in Aperture before and I do not know where it is coming from or what it is going to do.

Here is the Open Library View #1:
Even though my unified library is the default library, just in case this problem was being caused because of the Aperture 3 Trial Library version (even though that is not the library that Aperture was opening), I upgraded that library too. Here is the Open Library Info after that library upgrade:
I retried the Aperture repair on my unified library and got the same error message on launch:
But I am running the repair anyway because I do not know what else to do. I will let you know how that goes when it is finished.

Best way to archive the final version of Aperture?

I'm not going to migrate to Photos, and I'm still running 3.4.5 on 10.7.5. I don't want to upgrade now, but I won't have a choice when I buy a new computer.
I want to have the final version of Aperture available to me when that happens. I'm moving to LR, but I still want access to my Aperture library.
Suggestions?
Thanks
DLS

You first have to install it, then copy the installed version from the Applications folder to a backup drive. Applications from the App Store are stand-alone versions. You can restore them by copying them back from a backup. And if you upgraded to Aperture 3.6, the App Store should show it in your Purchases for downloading again, even if it will no longer be sold at the AppStore.
But before you can back it up, you need to install the upgrade. The update is only available from the AppStore, not from the downloads page, and the App Store will only show you the update, if you have a compatible MacOS X version installed. You can only update to Aperture 3.6 from a Mac that is running Aperture 3.6.
Both Photos and iPhoto will be able to open your Aperture Library for browsing. But you would need iPhoto 9.6.1 and this update also requires a Mac running Yosemite.
There's no way to archive the app to disk? What happens if someone has a hard drive failure after they pull it from the App Store? Are they just out of luck?
I'm bot sure, if I understood your question correctly, DLS, but you an always restore Aperture from your Time Machine backup or bootable clone.
Only, you cannot download a version of Aperture, if your installed MacOS X is not compatible with that version. To be able to archive Aperture 3.6 now, you need first a compatible system.

Not able to import photos from Iphoto with the trial version of Aperture

I just downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3 and was trying to import my Iphoto library to work with some of the photos in Aperture. When I go to File, Import, Iphoto library, the IPhoto Library is not able to be selected.
I can go into finder and see that I have an Iphoto Library and it opens with no problem, but for some reason I cannot import or open the library in Aperture, which makes me very hesitant to purchase the full version of the product.
Any help is appreciated.

Sounds to me like you are not in the Import dialog box.
What happens if you select File->Import ... ?
If that's not it, show us a screen capture.

Full Version of Aperture

I noticed that there is a huge price difference between the boxed version of Aperture at the Apple Store and the Download version at the Mac App Store. Is there any difference in the programs? Is the boxed version a fuller version?
Thanks,
-Nancy

If you bought from the AppStore, you can install it on up to 5 Macs you own, provided it is for personal use. Just download again from the App Store on your other machines, using exactly the same apple id as you used when you bought it originally.
If there is an older Aperture version on that Mac you need to deinstall it first, or at least remove it from the Applications folder.

When I try to open aperture (which has been working fine for months), I get this response: There was an error opening the database for the library "~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". Please help!!

When I try to open aperture (which has worked great for months), I get this response:
There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
Please help!! Thank you!! =)

Sonny3300, your signature says "Aperture 2" - is that correct? Then you need this trouble shooting guide:
Aperture 2: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
What is your Operating system version and where is your library located? Have imported new images recently or changed the location of your library?

Reinstalled Aperture after a computer erase and re-install and now it will not open. Anyone have a solution? I'm operating on 10.6.8 and have an older version of Aperture (2010)

I re-installed Aperture after a computer erase and disk repair. Reinstalled from my back-up hard drive using migration assitant. Now it will not open. The message I get is this: Aperture cannot b opened because of a problem. Then goes on to say "check with the developer blah blah blah..." even though this is an Apple product. These are the things that drive me to distraction. Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion for a fix??

Your Aperture version?
Is your signature Mac OS X (10.4) current?
Reinstalled from my back-up hard drive using migration assitant. Now it will not open.
Aperture is best be reinstalled by running the installer, not by migrating.
Before you spend money, reinstall Aperture from your installation media (or from the Trial version download Aperture 3.1 Trial , if you are running Aperture 3)
Then update it immediately from the Apple  menu> Software update, launch it, and enter your serial number(s).
Are you really sure that there is no crash log?
The message you are quoting is usually a part of the crash report, when Aperture crashes directly on opening. Do you see this?
Aperture cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install available updates for the application and OS X.
This report will be sent to Apple automatically.
And what we would need to see, are the first 50 lines of the "This report ...."

Academic Version of Aperture 2: "Don't"

For those who are contemplating getting the academic version of Aperture 2, my advice is "Don't."
I just received my copy a little while ago. I paid $179 plus shipping to the Apple Store for Education. Inside the plastic wrap, on the box is a label that says: "Academic Not eligible for upgrades". So, you can save $20 now and buy Aperture 3 at full price later, or pay full price now and an upgrade price later.
I called and got an RMA number. A return address label and "Packaging slip" can be printed out at my order listing on my Order page on the Apple web site. It's going back today.
Regards,
Don O'Shea

You're right. To buy the academic version if it's only $20 cheaper makes no sense. When I bought the academic version in December, it was 1/2 the price of the regular version ... $149 vs $300. This actually saved me money in the long run because if I would have bought the regular version at $300 and the upgraded to v2, it would have cost a total of $399. By doing it the way I did, it only cost me a total of $349, saving me $50.
