It needs 10.4.8 apparently, which is proving tricky to install.

Anyone get it working under 10.4.7?

Apertrure update 1.5 is not available at this time as far as I know.
The Aperture site section says "this week"...

So how do you know it needs 10.4.8?

Because it says so right here: http://www.apple.com...rture/download/

1.5 is available now, if you have apple id and Aperture serial. I'm sure it can be tricked to install under 10.4.6. We'll have to see if it would also be willing to run without crashing. If anyone is able to download the update or point to another source of 1.5, that would help.

I can confirm I have Aperture 1.5 running happily on 10.4.7. yay! took an hour to convert my library though! whooh!

Well, Having updated Aperture to 1.5 and testing it for a while, my setup is not working as it should. The library was updated after waiting for an hour or so. That was yesterday. I left it overnight for this but today I woke up to find that the machine froze. Restarted the system then the app. It began processing all the previews (a new feature). The app crashed several times during this (more than 7000 pics) and my estimate is that is going to take days for these previews to update! Meanwhile I started doing some adjustments on photos. No good. Aperture is always updating the picture even if you don't make any adjustments. So I figured maybe it's the "processing previews". Cancelled that using aperture task manager, but the corrections show a black or distorted image.
In the end I think I'm going to downgrade it. Any of you with similar problems?
Forgot to say that I tried this on a 10.4.7 system... Hoping that 10.4.8 fixes this (pretty sure since it's required

the latest aperture 1.5 posted on the "green guy" works on my pentiumD 930 gma950 system on 10.4.7... i did some importing from iPhoto and it works.... i still new on this thou... and i just fresh install it, no 1.1 in my system..

i upgraded to 1.5 last night. my library took a while to update, but now its fine.

performance seems to have improved a bit, and i like the new tools. as i've mentioned previously, the 'Relocate Masters' thing is absolutely killer for me

i left my machine processing previews (as well as converting my entire video collection to H.264 / AAC today, so i shall see how far its got by this evening (when i left for work it had around 5000 images still to process).

1.5 from Demonoid works great with 10.4.7 on my system



ps
still, photoshop lightroom is 10 x better

lets stay on topic - we have enough Lightroom vs Aperture threads...

Sigh, I had no luck with the 1.5 on Demonoid..."Your computer does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Aperture". Guess I have to keep using 1.1.2.

You can use Compressor to queue it, or even have multiple machines work on it.

Im using VisualHub, which does precisely what I want. check it out

Alternatively, iSquint might do ya, and its free.

how in the hell did you all get 1.5 to run on 10.4.7? mine was whining about needing 10.4.8 to install...and my older version is griping about 'min. hardware reqs' which is crap...i'm still plugging away but i'll get it going here soon.

[tha_toadman]

i was having a hell of a time last night with it all but i now managed get 'A' version of it working now. i might have to try 1.5 again once i get things in order.
