Q: Why is aperture crashing on my brand new 27" iMac ?
I just purchased a new 27" imac:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac14,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 3.5 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 16 GB
I purchased this to replace my 2008 MBP whish was too slow for editing large files. I saved up to buy this new machine and am at wit's end already.
I installed Aperture (original disc and upgrade disc, then did upgrade to latest version via ap store.
I imported files from one SD card (less than 900 files) into Aperture. They are on my drive, not an external. I have not even set up time
I have opened iphoto and opened photostream for that, but not for Aperture.
I have not installed any plugins for Aperture--though I own Photomatix and am waiting to install it until this is resolved.
I did not transfer anything from my previous machine, nor use migration assistant as I wanted this to be very clean. I've only set up two email addresses in mail--seriously I'm keeping this machine clean.
SO...My first Aperture session resulted in a spontaneous re-boot. Since then, Aperture has crashed (and I've sent a report) each of the 4 or 5 times I've tried to use it. I'm doing basic things like cropping, viewing with and without the loupe, rotating through view between thumbnails, full screen and
What gives?!
THE WHOLE REASON I SPENT THIS MUCH MONEY IS TO USE APERTURE TO EDIT PHOTOS.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

I did not copy the crash reports and can't remember how to find them-
The application "Console" will find the crash reports for you. The Console is in the subfolder "Utilities" in your Applications folder.
If you launch, click the "Show Log list" icon in the toolbar, if the sidebar with the log files it not showing. The crash report should be listed in the "System diagnostic reports" section of the sidebar or the "User diagnostic report.
Look for logfiles with a recent date and "crash" or "panic" in the name, no "Hang" files, please.
I see, you found your logs already.
