Aperture fixed

Aperture 3.2.1 update now works on Mac core duo. Good news ! See Apple news.

Aperture 3.2 bug

If, like me, you have just updated your Aperture to version 3.2 and it crashes just after you launch it you are experiencing the major issue this new version has with Core duo macs… here is the solution : first find your most recent backup, hopefully you’re using Time Machine so this step won’t be a problem. Then restore the last Aperture version. Yes it is a bit radical but I haven’t found a workaround for this bug, but only some “don’t update” warnings.

Then it is possible that your library won’t open because it has been already updated to work with Aperture 3.2, you will have a message saying basically that Aperture cannot open your library because it has been saved my a newer version. Ok quit Aperture and re-open it from the dock or the finder holding the command+option keys. This should propose you to rebuild the library, do that and it should work again ! (see here too)

Stay tuned for bug fixes before downloading the update again
