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

Apple Releases Aperture 3.0.1

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

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.

Hes thinking of an upgrade not an update. The two words mean different things.
Upgrade trial version
You need to download the new trial version. It contains the 3.0.1 update.

Yes
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.

Still sluggish on 3.0.1
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.
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.
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.
from the apple forum
Delete the following file from Library > Preferences:
com.apple.AECT.plist
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.
I tried it. No help. Still says i need 3.0 installed.. and i do. Aperture is more of a pain than it's worth.
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?
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.
