Downloading now. Just finished installing Leopard. Looks like this will be a day of updating.

 

[BigJohno]

That was fast.

Can't they update the Macbook already:S

 

[CrackedButter]

Too late Apple, I sold my copy of Aperture and bought Lightroom.

 

[fastbite]

Puta Madre! Aperture needs all the help it can get.

Wrong update Apple, wrong update..

Does it add support for Canon 40D Raw files?

That will come in a system update, not an application update.

 

[mainstreetmark]

Does it enable iPhone note syncing?!


Haha. Hijacking is fun.

Lightroom all the way. Aperture is like using a screwdriver to take a rusted lugnut off.

THis update was VERY MUCH needed though, so I'm glad it came this quickly.

I don't have it available to me though.....

Anyone else????

Leopard Software Update asks for password HALF WAY THROUGH

I installed the 9A581 build floating around the net on bittorrent. (I'm going to go buy it at 6, don't worry). This morning the Aperture and Pro Application Support updates showed up in Software Update. I installed both of them. The download started, and after they completed Software Update THEN asked for my administrator password for the install. This is a TERRIBLE change. I like to be able to hit install and walk away, not having to be there half way through the process to type my password. I think we should try to get Apple to change this back! What do you think?

 

[Reach]

Agreed, ask for password before the download starts, so it can run it's course without being managed.

Okay, so I downloaded the update after providing my Aperture 1.5 serial number on Apple's site, and as the install starts it tells me that I have to have at least Aperture Version 1.0 or later to install. what?

Just use software update.

Well, just as I was getting frustrated trying to open up aperture i see this.
Downloading now, currently Aperture crashes as soon as it opens up in Leopard.
No such issues with FCS though.

So far so good with 10.5.0, much much smoother than 10.4.0

Just use software update.

Software update doesn't list the Aperture upgrade. I'm a legal, registered user....

Thus I went to Apple's site to download it. I had to enter the info to download the update; the installer fails immediately per above.

Both are evidence that you don't have Aperture installed on your computer. If you do, it doesn't think you do. Run the 1.0 or 1.5 installer from original discs, then run the update.

Make sure you didn't change the name of, or move aperture from it's original location. Software Update is very particular about the name and location of applications.

1.5.6 may run faster under Leopard

Wasn't planning on updating to 10.5 right away, but early reportss seem to indicate that Aperture runs better under 10.5...

Nope.. didn't do that.. Just sitting right at the top of my applications folder with the original name....

Update: Fixed it. I had installed the trial version of Aperture and just entered the serial number weeks later after the purchase. I re-installed from the CD and now it worked. I was under the impression the trial was the same as the purchased app. Guess it's different in some ways.

Agreed. Much Quicker and snappier. Both on the MP and MBP.

Oh and I'm not a 100% but i think software update in general asks for admin password after downloading the update (well this happened for Aperture).

And I don't know if this is the case for everyone else but MBP runs a LOT cooler whilst using Aperture. The metal strip above the function keys is barely warm.
