I can't update. does it have something to do with trial use?

It has been reported that if you have changed the name of your Aperture application, for example to 'Aperture 3', the update won't run.

Specifically, look for the comment about dumping a pref. file.

That worked a treat, Thanks Much

Anyone els having issues tethering their camera to Aperture 3? I have a 40D and I can't seem to get it to start the session, it lets me get as far as opening the session and when i open start the HUD I get " No Camera detected" but the camera shows up if i attempt to import files

I had the same thing happen with a 5DMKII that I rented last weekend.

After reading this I tried for the first time to tether my D90. Worked for me. Thanks for letting me know that this was even a capability. Hope you get it sorted for you 40D.

And yes. YOUR WEBSITE IS BRILLIANT!

Thank on the website compliment!

Tethering support is a thorny area. There is a standard tethering protocol that Aperture supports. Canon used to support this protocol but they went full proprietary a couple years ago. This means you can tether older Canon cameras (30D, 1D* Mark II, etc.) but you cannot tether the newer Canon cameras (1D* Mark III, 5D Mark II, 7D, etc.).

Who knows how this stalemate ends. For now for the newer Canon cameras you can use a hot folder and an Automator script to auto-import but it's not really the same.

I hate proprietary crap like that.
