Aperture 3.x.x crashes
After upgrading to the Lion and when Fullscreen mode came into life I started to experience troubles with Aperture… beginning from entering into the Fullscreen (which used to be not a problem for Aperture) and now the power button is my favorite button on my Mac Pro if I open Aperture… After last update to version 3.3 when I try to make any adjustments my Mac completely freezes or screen suddenly becomes black and nothing helps except magical POWER button. The system is even unable to write any error log, so there is nothing to post as a technical report. This trouble happened before the 3.3 update but it was not so often. Now for last two days I have restarted machine for at least 30 times almost every 10 minutes of work. What happened to used to be a great app?!
After examining forums, support sites etc. I have done following:
- Recovered/reinstalled/fresh installed Lion.
- Reinstalled Aperture/repaired library using all 3 methods after pressing Opt+Cmd buttons.
- Repaired permissions using all possible solutions/performed all tests using Drive Genius and Lion Cache Cleaner.
- Created new user account and started Aperture from there
- Tried to make adjustments by clicking instead of dragging sliders.
- Inspected all hardware.
Nothing helps….
I haven’t installed any new software except PS 6, haven’t changed my camera (Canon 1Ds Mark II) since those 3.x.x Aperture updates. And now I don’t know what to do with my primary photo editing app because it became almost useless.
Is here anybody who can help in this kind of situation? Or the only solution is to move to Lightroom?
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
