You didn't need to re-start your imac, just selecting "when a camera is connected open with" > Aperture... then closing preferences initiates Aperture to open when you connect a camera.
I'm glad Aperture now opens for you.. 🙂
I did what you said, and when I connect my camera, Aperture opens up, but when I try to shoot, I get a pulsating "BUSY" signal inside my viewfinder.
The 'busy' signal you get is the camera uploading the information to your laptop/ imac.
You also sound like you are shooting 'tethered' to your laptop/ imac....? thats a different issue from getting pictures onto your laptop from a memory card.
Stacey, it sounds a little like you may have posted on this thread as it involved using the Canon T1i camera..? And you may have thought that it would help you to get better use out of your camera, i'm just guessing but if that is so... then, without sounding rude Stacey, if you need assistance using your camera, and all it's capabilities, then you need to start more simply by just taking pictures in general with your camera, not tethered, and uploading them to your computer via a card reader to get the hang of it.
Also posting on this thread, re using your camera, is off topic for this category. This is a user to user forum for assistance with Aperture and if you do require assistance with a camera, then you need to start at the beginning of the manual, or seek help on a Canon forum such as this...
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1031
Here you can post questions relevant to your individual camera and actively seek advice from other users..
You can also book a one to one at your local Apple store with initial help getting started with Aperture...
Now if I am wrong and you are a pro earning mega bucks 🙂 then I apologise......
I sincerely hope this is of some help to you and wish you every success with your camera, it's an amazing camera, and if you do have any Aperture 3 related questions, then don't hesitate to come back here and myself and other users will only be too happy to help..
Best Regards......
