Do you think Aperture will run worth a hoot on a Mini, or just look too bloated?

Maybe it will, but it requres a good graphics card, but since mini's GMA can draw only 2D graphics at normal-high speeds, I think he'll be fine :)
 
Apple store down as I type this... perhaps a price change and update for Aperture?

Maybe something else too? :)
 
US Store is down, eurpean stores are up. I'd say it's a software release (Aperture?).

Awwww, just say it ... HOPING FOR THE NEW MACBOOKS, PLEASE!!!!! ;)

Of course, I have a FULL day at work today and it will be tough to find an hour to break away to go buy one at my local Apple Store, let alone I would have to open it up and try it out, which will take more time, so I'd rather this "update" just be for Aperture and the iBooks come next week. But would Apple really take the whole store down just to update one software app? :confused: :confused:
 
So Aperture 1.1 will sell for $299. I think that is what Apple charges for the mid-pro application FinalCut Express, and the charge for the applications incremental updates is $99.
Hmmm, maybe Apple should send the early adopters of Aperture 2 free upgrades - all the way to Aperture 3.0 ;)
 
STORE IS BACK UP! All that changed was Apeture. It's $299 now. -- $149 academic price is vey appealing indeed. I just might have to buy it at that price.
 
Apple Online Store being updated?

The Apple online store is being updated. Is this a regular maintenence thing, or might it mean something new is being added?
 
Us Store Is Up Again

EDIT: !1984!, you beat me. :) Aperture is sill selling for the old price on european stores by the way...

Could it be that when only the US store is down there's new Software and when all stores are down new hardware?

I think if he managed to lay a Macbook Pro it would bring a few tears to his eyes ;)

Ask and you shall receive....


"In addition, early adopters of Aperture 1.0 can claim a $200 (US) coupon redeemable at the Apple Online Store by visiting http://www.apple.com/promo/aperture/ as a thank you for their support."

Nice touch, I must say.

Exactly as they should have done. They obviously recognized that they were in the wrong about this, and are essentially giving those of us who bought it at $499 the $200 rebate I was going to request.

Nice job Apple!

Good PR on Apples part for sure. It will be interesting to see what they do in the UK

i bought aperture at the previous price.

and it has been more than worth it.


why complain about getting kicked in the teeth because apple drops the price for aperture? do you complain when the car you bought from the dealer drops $2000? do you complain when the washing machine drops in price?

it happens. it's called business.

i guess you still take the $200 cupon now!

i rarely ever happens. it's called luck.:p
 
Good, all you whiny *****es who complained about paying $499 (even though you determined at that time that the software was worth that price, since you DID buy it), and how Apple was an evil company who ripped you off....

You can eat crow for Easter. $200 credit. I think anyone who whined should be forced to write a formal apology before he can claim the credit.

Poo! They have to take the whole store down just to change Aperture? What about when they add or take away things from the refurbished section? Never seen them take the store down for that.

Oh well, back to work!
 
This is freaky... it seems as if Apple is really reading this thread!

I hope purchasers of the first version will get a free upgrade.

Done.

mlrproducts said:
I'm guessing the EDU version will now be $200. I WANT it to be $150, that would be great!

Done.

Done.



So as it is clear that Apple is taking cues directly from us, I think we should start adding our requests to this thread.

I'll start.


Dear Apple,

I would like the MacBook Pro to be $100, in fact just make them free.
Can you give me a job at Cupertino... preferably a vice president, but I'm willing to be lenient.
Oh and I would like some cookies delivered to my door. Now. Chocolate chip.

Thank you,
