Aperture is my default photo application on my mac. But ever since I’ve had version 3 the performance has been horrible. Flat out sucked. FInally after a bunch of searching for answers I found the steps that has everything running fast as it should be. If you have been suffering like many then try these steps.

Delete all the files in the following folders

HD/Library/Caches
HD/System/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/Users/”Your user”/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/Users/”YourUser”/Library/Preferences/com.apple.aperture.plist

Restart your mac afterwards.

I am once again enjoying using Aperture. It is running super fast and I’m super happy.

The other day I installed Organizer by the folks at Otherinbox. Been using it for a few days now and am loving it!
I get a ton of mail each day. I often check and respond to my email via my iPhone. My iPhone is constantly alerting me to new messages. A lot of it doesn’t have to be dealt with right away such as newsletters, social network emails, marketing emails, etc. Those can be put aside with labels to be viewed later. But email from real people I want to be able to respond asap. That’s where Organizer comes into the scene.
Once Organizer is installed it starts going through all your emails labeling commercial ones and archiving the messages in folders while leaving emails from real people in your inbox. This is all done automatically. Of course you can label any of them manually as you see fit.
My inbox is now kept clean and my iPhone new message alerts are kept at a minimum. Great service.
Install Organizer now

• Log into your Google Apps account.
• Add the Google Short Links to your account.

• Follow the instructions on creating the CNAME records with your hosting provider.

You’re done! Pretty easy to do.

Pretty amazing. This film shot was shot and edited entirely on the iPhone 4 / iMovie app.

Not being a pro photographer, I was pretty happy with iPhoto. Nevertheless I purchased Aperture 2 awhile back to have a little more feature rich application to work with. Installed it and there it sat untouched for a long time. Purchased Aperture 3 upgrade installed it but had a lot of problems with it until a few fixes were released from Apple.
Starting to really like it. But my understanding of it is still very limited. I’m sure I only use a portion of what it can really do. My organization skills with it is horrible. I have photos everywhere.
I’m taking this next week or two to get down and dirty with how Aperture works and get my photos organized and become a better user overall.
