Lion & Aperture BEWARE

by dfc527 - 7/29/11 6:27 PM

After purchasing a New IMac from the Apple Store, I was very happy, I thought it was a great computer. I was wrong.
When I downloaded the new Lion system and the Aperture I have had nothing but problems. In Dashboard, I get widgets that pop up that I did not download. In Aperture, I created my one and only project only to have it crash every time I try to adjust the music levels. While I've tried to get help from Apple both online and via telephone ( 3 times for over 2.5 hrs.) it has been fruitless. Finally, I had a Apple tech contact me and say there is something wrong with the software, but I'm still out in the cold about what to do.<div>WARNING STAY AWAY FROM LION!
STAY AWAY FROM APERTURE!

I also have both installed and working perfectly. iMac, Lion and Aperture are fantastic products, but the occasional bug slips through quality control. It sounds like your specific combination of hardware and software have created an issue that needs to be resolved. Imagine if you were having similar problems on a PC (and similar problems abound on the PC platform)... who would you talk to first? The Mac is still a fantastic system despite the occasional problem.

Lion killed all of my remaining PPC programs including the version of iMovie that I prefer to use. It killed my version of Adobe Illustrator, which I never felt the need to upgrade. It killed an app that I depend on for podcasting (Podcast Maker), and countless other apps that I never used anyways. I call it cleansing. The Mac is a great system even when problems occur.
