Anyone know if this fixes the RAM problems?

[Grimace]

This list of fixes pretty much goes after the entire Aperture experience. Let's hope that Apple made this release a solid bug fixer!

Kudos to Apple for making it happen quickly. -1 for causing the need for it to happen.

[saxondale.]

The changelog does mention memory usage, so assume it does.

Anyone else having a problem installing this update? My updater doesn't even find it and the download from the site doesn't even install.

Agreed!

Nice list of fixes, including one that was bugging me (bizarre stuff happened when image had been straightened)

[Cynicalone]

I have it installed.

RAM usage is hovering around 1GB right now. I would say that is an improvement. Since I was easily using 5 to 8GB before the update.

[rjheys]

This update hasn't fix the issue that makes iMovie crash and quit every time I open it.

[SteveSparks]

Wow that is a lot of fixes..

I've been thinking about getting A3. Maybe now is the time.

[pdpardue]

I'll give it another try when I get back home... Still probably won't upgrade quite yet since I'm still rocking a g5.

[fanbrain]

Good timing. I'm just about to install this on my Dads computer as an upgrade from iPhoto. His machine is an older 2.0 GHz iMac with only 2GB RAM. Hope this helps.

Hopefully it won't take as long to process his 30,000+ photos now.

[Chundles]

This update hasn't fix the issue that makes iMovie crash and quit every time I open it.

It must be your computer. My iMovie only crashes the first six or seven times...
:D

[cosmokanga2]

I'm getting a "Aperture 3.0 is required to install" error. Anyone else?

[Marion]

Looks promising

Btw, A3 does quite good Slideshow... from what I've tried anyway.

[saxondale.]

I'm getting a "Aperture 3.0 is required to install" error. Anyone else?
exactly what i'm getting.

[pdjudd]

Good timing. I'm just about to install this on my Dads computer as an upgrade from iPhoto


This update has nothing to do with iPhoto - they are separate products with different focuses. Not to mention that Aperture is a paid program that costs 200 bucks.

[klaxamazoo]

I'm getting a "Aperture 3.0 is required to install" error. Anyone else?

I also get the error. I'm running the Trial version, has anybody has success upgrading the trail version?

Swing and a miss!

[pdjudd]

Swing and a miss!
Whatta ya mean? This upgrade will not work for iPhoto - Which is what my point was. The guy never said that he actually was purchasing Aperture.

[akdj]

This is Excellent News!!!! Now I can take back half of what I told you in the other thread, Virtual:)

Jer

[kufford]

Wow. There's a big difference in responsiveness and snappiness. I was considering going to back to iPhoto and CS4 but this update makes it worth it. Nicely done apple.

[Chundles]

I rebuilt the thumbnails last night and all the previews. Took an age but now I can really see the speed increases now.

Maybe it was the 7200rpm drive I just dropped in but Aperture with 2000 RAW files in it feels as snappy as iPhoto with 2000 JPEG files.

He means, like most people would consider, that Aperture is a step up from iphoto. Guess it isn't as obvious as I thought.

[justinfreid]

I'm getting "Aperture 3.0 or later is required to install this update." even though I have just installed Aperture 3.0.
Anyone else get this message?

[steve-p]

Update worked for me... going to try it now and see if I can edit more than a few Nikon RAWs before it crashes :)

[aucl]

exactly what i'm getting.

for me it installed without problems, … my install was an activated trial (if that helps)

[steve-p]

RAM now hovering around 1.5GB for me, but swap is tiny and not increasing, so it's looking good. Also it hasn't crashed yet which is a bonus.

[steve-p]

Also it hasn't crashed yet which is a bonus.
Ha ha spoke too soon there. Crashed after editing about 25 RAWs :)

[brentg33]

i am getting that same message that i need aperture 3.0 installed......i do

anyone know of a fix for this?

[eyehop]

I hope the update fixes the e-mail file size preferences, which do not stick when you set them. It keeps trying to send mega-res photos. It's little inconveniences like this that really get my goat (an expression from my grandma).

Update: just upgraded and still not fixed, argh. Note sent to Apple:

Now broken in Aperture 3 and 3.01 is the preference to specify file size for e-mailed images. It tries to send full res images. I have tried resetting in preferences and it never sticks. The setting will stick, but it doesn't actually work. Then, after restarting the application, the preference is back to full size. I have dumped preferences and that has also not accomplished anything.

This is a huge inconvenience. How does something so basic get broken during an application upgrade? It's the little things like this that can really hamper productivity and become a major annoyance. I now have to spawn copies to the desktop to then e-mail them.

[Fazzl]

i have a licensed version but can't see the update...

[akacaj]

Glad this came along today because so far my switch from Lightroom to Aperture 3 has not been so pleasant.
I had to run it in 32 bit mode because 64 bit would crash every 5 seconds.
Took up to 5 minutes to start the app after clicking the icon.
Media browser did not work/show up when the Faces feature was enabled.
And many other nasty little problems. Cant wait to get home and try this update.

[bloogersnigen]

Didn't fix the bug where my faces don't stick. Oh well, its not feature I need. Great software

[dvince2]

This update hasn't fix the issue that makes iMovie crash and quit every time I open it.

That's because its for aperture?

[Steinthal]

You need to download the new trial version. It contains the 3.0.1 update.

[rjheys]

That's because its for aperture?

Yes, and when ever I try to open iMovie it trys to scan my apperture libary, hangs, and crashes out, it's quite a well known problem if you look around these forums and the apperture support page on apple.com.

[joefresh]

I just updated to 3.0.1 after maddeningly slow performance on 3.0, and I have yet to notice any difference in performance.

All I'm trying to do is some simple skin smoothing, and that spinning circle thing next to "Processing" just keeps going and going. Mouse jumps all over the place, the rest of the computer slows to almost a halt, and worst of all, the area I'm adjusting doesn't seem that affected.

Thinking about going back to iPhoto and CS4, this is ridiculous. I have a late-2008 MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM, this really shouldn't take that much system resources for such a simple adjustment.

Anyone else having problems here? I'd really hate to be the only one complaining about this.

I don't find it much faster, but I'm sure as heck not going back to iphoto. Aperture needs a lot of RAM. I have 4gb and it's not enough (not to mention my lack of dedicated video card). You should really consider upgrading your memory if you use aperture a lot.

[joefresh]

Good to know jbg232, I just don't get how Photoshop can do pretty much everything flawlessly on 2 gigs of RAM, but Aperture needs so much more just to run. Kind of a letdown, especially since Aperture is infinitely easier to learn and use than Photoshop.

[OdysseyExplorer]

How are you guys liking Aperture 3 so far?

[justinfreid]

You need to download the new trial version. It contains the 3.0.1 update.

Thanks - that solves it. I wonder if this will be corrected by Apple with the next release.
The update was around 30MB the full 3.0.1 trial is over 500MB.

[yaroldb]

i am getting that same message that i need aperture 3.0 installed......i do

anyone know of a fix for this?

from the apple forum

Delete the following file from Library > Preferences:

That's the file the 3.0.1 updater is checking and then revealing the incorrect Alert! message. Apple had the same problem with 2.0, and history seems to be repeating itself.

[Analog Kid]

So, I've been stuck mid-upgrade for a while now. The upgrade failed miserably, and I've left it that way waiting for Apple to post a patch. Anyone know if this will just pick up where 3.0 stalled out, or do I need to go through the trouble of deleting my library, restoring from Time Machine, and giving it another go?

[macUser2007]

Too late for me. I deleted the trial - it was crashing too often :(

The Light Room 3 Beta is way more stable than this "release," as well as richer in features.

The full app is 801 MB.

Hopefully it won't take as long to process his 30,000+ photos now.

He’s thinking of an “upgrade” not an update. The two words mean different things.

Right. So what's the issue? He's upgrading from iPhoto to Aperture, hence the original post. This update is timely because of our complaints against 3.0.

But it really isn’t. Aperture is not really an upgrade to iPhoto. They have different aims and purposes.

And Aperture update 3.0.1 isn’t going to do that.

If LR had the brush clone I would change in a heart beat! Aperture 3.0.1 is still way too slow.

I really wish I could work out your point. The guy says he is upgrading his dads comp from iphoto to Aperture. iphoto is a library manager with simple editing, Aperture is a library manager with much more advanced editing, so what is your point exactly?

[mrkgoo]

Apple tries to get you to 'upgrade' from iPhoto to Aperture. Aperture really is kind of a 'super' iPhoto, in my opinion. I'm not sure what Aperture 1-2 were like but 3.0 is very much like iPhoto on steroids.

Obviously they have different target markets, but I would say they serve a very similar purpose, hence why so few people actually use both.

Anyway, this update feels much more robust than 3.0. I'm getting less beachballs, and things feel a bit snappier.

You can actually change picture size in Apple Mail's New Message window.

[vvebsta]

Update seems pretty solid. One issue I can't solve...

Does anyone know how to undo if you tagged a face as the wrong person???

[adrian.oconnor]

But it really isn’t. Aperture is not really an upgrade to iPhoto. They have different aims and purposes.

And Aperture update 3.0.1 isn’t going to do that.

You should stop digging. Aperture is a perfectly acceptable upgrade path for amateur photographers who have outgrown iPhoto or want to get more out of their DSLR -- I am one such user.

[walnuts]

Select the person, click the "confirm faces" button, and then it will give you the option to say that this is "not so and so".

[saschke]

3.0.1 is working really fine for me, even though my library is currently updating 5860 previews. i'm even using an advertised feature (faces), hooray :D

btw: faces works really fine for me after confirming a few shots..

Good to know jbg232, I just don't get how Photoshop can do pretty much everything flawlessly on 2 gigs of RAM, but Aperture needs so much more just to run. Kind of a letdown, especially since Aperture is infinitely easier to learn and use than Photoshop.

Photoshop and aperture aren't doing the same thing. Aperture is constantly managing a massive (at least in my case) library of Raw images, metadata, and proxy images. When the app is running slow have a look and see if the processing icon is spinning. Also check system profiler and see how much ram and processor is being used. There are also options that might fit a computer with ONLY 2gb of ram (bare minimum for pro apps these days, even Photoshop if you work with high res complicated images). You can disable background processing and adjust the way the proxy images are generated.

[Michaelgtrusa]

Why did they remove the splash screen in this version?

[Otaviano]

Ok, I got to say that I'm loving Places.

I love that it searches Google from within the app to pull location information.

I just spend about an hour or so adding location info to a ton of my pictures and am loving that I can see my pictures on a map.

Great feature!

[GeoffBern]

I am still having the problem that when exporting raw files to JPEGs the metadata like caption and keywords will not embed to the JPEGs even when you check the box "include metadata"

anyone having this problem in aperture 3?

Damn it. Still doesn' t fix faces. It keeps asking me the exact same faces over and over again. Embarrasing Apple!!!

I agree. Faces in Aperture isn't even up to iPhoto standards. In iPhoto, once I reject a face, it doesn't come back. iPhoto also does a much better job with its guesses. I have about 5 projects in Aperture where there are 20-30 shots in each that are nearly all the same (slight expression differences). Aperture only suggests 3 or 4 images at a time might be matches, whereas iPhoto correctly tags all of them. I can't believe they released this and it doesn't even work as well as their basic level photo program.

Please make sure you're submitting feedback.

[NoNameBrand]

Is Aperture still running tasks on your library when you're trying this? Window>Show Activity.

I'm not having that problem on my MacBook 1.83 C2D with D90 RAW files.

[NoNameBrand]

Apple tries to get you to 'upgrade' from iPhoto to Aperture. Aperture really is kind of a 'super' iPhoto, in my opinion. I'm not sure what Aperture 1-2 were like but 3.0 is very much like iPhoto on steroids.

The first two were as well, but weren't as accessible as Aperture 3 is. Will be interesting to see if the pro-style keyboard shortcuts (with very few command/modified keys required) cause trouble for new users from iPhoto.

[mrkgoo]

I am still having the problem that when exporting raw files to JPEGs the metadata like caption and keywords will not embed to the JPEGs even when you check the box "include metadata"

anyone having this problem in aperture 3?

My Captions and Keywords embed fine. Do you have an example to show?

[GeoffBern]

My Captions and Keywords embed fine. Do you have an example to show?

Here is the catch, In bridge it will show them but if you do file info in photoshop it does not show up.
If i edit any metadata in bridge and apply it to the image it THEN will show up in Photoshop.

From what I have read I am not the only person that has had this problem. There are a few other professional photographers that have wrote about this issue. It becomes a problem when you send things off to newspapers, magazines because they usually use photoshop to look at the info because thats a main program they use to edit photos.

[steve-p]

I hope 3.0.2 is along soon. I just looked at my crash logs and I've had 52 so far (including 6 with 3.0.1).

[ppdix]

One of the worst upgrades ever, this update, although one of the quickest 0.1 updates ever, wasn't quick enough. :apple: already pissed off thousands of disappointed users. :mad:

[ppdix]

When are these people at :apple: gonna learn that PROFESSIONAL digital cameras and 35mm Film have an aspect ratio of 3:2... The Apple Books in Aperture have the wrong ratio at 8.5"x11" and now the new XL at 13"x10"... The correct size for a "professional" should be 15x10 or 8X12...
That means that if you want to have a full bleed landscape image on the book, it will be chopped off or it will have a border on the top and bottom... All those preset layouts are the same problem. I have printed about 10, 100-page books already and it bothers me that I can't layout the way I should with 2:3 image proportions.
Same goes for the whole industry. Try to find a frame at Target or so that is not 8x10... Or even photo quality paper that is not the useless 8.5x11....
:mad:

[rhomsy]

I thought I would throw this out in case it helps anyone. I am using A3 and have had far fewer problems that what has been reported. It might be that I installed and ran Applejack before even installing A3. Applejack is a free utility that fixes a number of problems that develop in MacOS X that lead to other problems with other applications.

Also, for what its worth, after running Applejack and zapping my pram, my computer ran noticeably faster. I suppose you could give it a try. As with any utility, just make sure your data is backed up in case something goes wrong.

[anim8tedtoon]

I was having the same problem installing the update. Then I realized that I didnt have aperture in the applications folder and so the mac couldn't find it. I also learned that you cant have the app in a sub folder when trying to do the update it just has a hard time finding it. So make sure that its there then try again it should go through fine.

[cocky jeremy]

Aperture 3 froze my entire system to the point of having to just shut off my Mac and restart it. Then i FINALLY deleted my Aperture 2 library out of Aperture 3 and re-imported and it worked ok. I see there's an update (3.0.1) on here, so i do software update. Doesn't show up. I find it on Apple's website, download it and try to install and i get an error message saying i need Aperture 3.0 to install the update. I read on here that others are having the same problem, i finally find a fix.. doesn't work. Apple is really starting to annoy me with their half assed work lately.

Unless something has changed, I believe Apple contracts printing through Kodak (used to be ofoto) printing services, therefore have no say (or less than one would hope) in the matter...

[First tee]

I couldn't get 3.01 to run with my trial version so i just deleted the whole thing. Maybe I'll try from scratch when I get a little more patience.

I was hoping the update made the thing run at tolerable speed. FOr now, Apple won't be seeing my $$$.

[bristleworm]

I couldn't get 3.01 to run with my trial version so i just deleted the whole thing. Maybe I'll try from scratch when I get a little more patience.

If you have the trial version of aperture, you'll need to download the whole trial version again, as it has been updated to 3.0.1.
The update cannot be installed on the trial version. I read this in some article concerning the update but can't find it right now.

If you get an error message during installation that says you need Aperture 3.0 installed, a fix was posted by "yaroldb". The fix is to delete the following file:

Library > Preferences > com.apple.AECT.plist

then try the installation again (it worked for me). In my case, I was doing an upgrade from AP2, so I needed to renter my AP2 serial number again.

If you are working from the Aperture 3.0.0 trial version loaded, you'll need to download and install the 3.0.1 trial version and install that.

[Analog Kid]

Managed to actually load my library, but for some reason it keeps one of my 8 cores pegged at 100% continuously, and won't shut down without a force quit... The in application "Activity" window doesn't show anything happening.

At least it runs though, and I've got access to my Library. Faces seems more robust than the iPhoto version, which is welcome.

I'm getting those by the thousand...

I'm glad I'm not using Faces then, as that may be where most issues are now.

Things have improved enormously for me. With Nikon RAWs on 3.0.0, I was getting a crash about every 5-10 minutes. With the 3.0.1 update, that reduced to a crash about every 30 minutes. Finally with the RAW update, not a single crash in about 10 hours processing. Memory usage is stable now too, at around 1.6 GB which is fine.

The amount of strain it is putting onto my MBP is a concern though. The fans sound like a 747 at takeoff most of the time. I had no idea they even went that fast until today.

I think one of the best fixes of Aperture 3.0.1 is that now when you edit a picture the edit becomes version 2 instead of the original. That was really messing up my mojo.

News discussion wasn't the best place for my Aperture library question so I moved it to Digital Photography (and managed to mess that up as well). :o

If you get an error message during installation that says you need Aperture 3.0 installed, a fix was posted by "yaroldb". The fix is to delete the following file:

Library > Preferences > com.apple.AECT.plist

then try the installation again (it worked for me). In my case, I was doing an upgrade from AP2, so I needed to renter my AP2 serial number again.

If you are working from the Aperture 3.0.0 trial version loaded, you'll need to download and install the 3.0.1 trial version and install that.

Hey, thanks for posting this (however long ago it was). I just did a clean install of Aperture 3, and it was driving me nuts trying to install this upgrade.
