Lot of problems with Aperture

Alex,

latest update

what version were you upgrading from, and what is your current version?

Aperture slow: This may be caused by several reasons:

• A system drive that is too full; you need at least 10 GB free space for the system to work at all, and if you do not want to slow the system down, keep 20% of your disk space or more free.
• Aperture may still be rendering previews and scanning for faces. You can check what Aperture is doing by looking at the Activity Viewer (Window > Show Activity). Have you imported large projects recently?
• Your library may be corrupted or contain incompatible videos or corrupted images.

Aperture crashing: Typical reasons:

• Incompatible plug-ins, fonts, or kernel extensions (do you use any plug-ins?),
• A corrupted library,
• corrupted preference files or presets, e.g.raw presets
• A corrupted image or incompatible video in your Aperture library
• Hardware trouble: Hard drive, RAM, card reader, graphics card

Have you tried any of the trouble shooting basics? If not, then the first thing you should try would be to backup your Aperture library, if you do not have a working backup and rebuild the library, as described in the trouble shooting basics. If this does not help, work through all the other trouble shouting measures.

Also post a crash report, so we can look for a more specific reason for the crashes and tell us anything about your system and setup, that might be helpful: the plug-ins you are using, the kind of raw images you have, what exactly you did before the trouble started.

Regards

Léonie
