[] Whilst your 2010 Apple will run the next OSX, a 2011 iPad will not the next iOS. so what? one's a desktop system and the other is a mobile system, with different use cases. Quite an early obsolescence for an expensive device. ipads are anything *but* expensive, starting at $269. My 2009 and 2011 portables are both quite happily running Windows-10 latest release. so what? those aren't mobile devices. compare like with like. android to ios or mac to windows. a 2009 mac runs the latest macos just fine, as does a 2007 era mac. a 2011 android device won't run anything close to the latest release of anrdroid. it likely shipped with gingerbread (or honeycomb if it was a tablet) and probably stops at ice cream sandwich. that means no jellybean, kitkat, lollipop, marshmellow or nougat. quite a few android devices from 2014, just 2 years ago, don't get updates to the latest version, and prior to that, you can pretty much forget it. *3* year old android devices, sometimes 2 years old, orphaned. not only that, but motorola has announced they won't be offering monthly security updates for the moto g4, and that's a *current* device!! http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/...that-it-will-n ot-commit-to-monthly-security-patches/ Motorola has clarified the update situation of the Moto Z and Moto G4, calling Android's monthly security updates "difficult" and deciding not to*commit to them. put simply, apple fully supports ios devices for about 5 years, versus 1-2 for android. I might actually have bought a newer iPad last year, but the increase in cost wasn't justified by the increase in function. I had hoped for a better camera, but that was only on the top of the range iPhone. nonsense. the current ipad pro has the same 12 megapixel camera as the iphone 6s, along with a *much* better display (wide gamut). Since then, the camera on the Moto G3 phone has proved to be very capable, and actually better in quality than my iPad camera, and a lot more convenient to use. So there will have to be a reason other than a better camera to upgrade. it might be convenient, but that's about it. I'm finding less and less reason to take the iPad on a day trip, as I can do almost everything - perhaps even everything - on the Moto G3 phone (including some programs which aren't available for the iPad). then you're not using the ipad to its potential. there's a *****load* of stuff an ipad or iphone can do that a moto g3 can't. |

So your solution is to scold him for not being an obedient AppleSeed? Or to tell him that he should buy yet more software he doesn't need, this time from Adobe? I am not scolding him, he can spend his $$$ any way he wants. However, once having spent that cash he should have paid attention to the state of the World with regard to updates and software maintenance, for what for him were important systems. It's not as if this whole thing was a surprise to any who were paying attention. Even dpreview had this to say as far back as June 2014: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/5684134078/apple-to-cease-development-of-aperture ....and they even reported on the fiasco that is "Photos", which is certainly no Aperture replacement. https://www.dpreview.com/articles/5074008951/opinion-can-an-aperture-user-be-happy-with-apples-new-photos-software The answer for any serious Aperture user wanting to move on, is Lightroom 6/CC/ I'm surprised that v. 3.6 is not still available. I would think his two possible options would be to revert back to the older MacOS or to find a copy of v. 3.6. But no one has suggested either approach. Maybe those are also things that one can't do on a Mac? David Ritz did seem to suggest updating Aperture, but it's not clear from his links whether that's possible. Does Apple just cut people off that way? Frankly I don't see a problem with George Kerby's logic. He had software that worked. Newer versions brought in cloud integration that he might not have wanted. Which gets back to my original point: Nope. One has a personal responsibility to ensure that your software is functioning that means being aware of updates which can include bug fixes. The idea is to keep software running optimally. That is an area where Adobe is doing a very good job with updates, upgrades, and bug fixes with its Creative Cloud, and mobile offerings. There's simply no excuse for Apple not supporting their product without people having to submit to every new update of everything. Apple gave the World fair warning that Aperture was not going to supported or developed for use with OS X 10.10. Where Apple failed, or deceived Apple users was by implying the Aperture/iPhoto replacement, "Photos" was going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Needless to say, for any serious photographer that was/is a false claim. (I'm still using Outlook Express 6, from 2001, to write this. It works great! ....er, no it doesn't! you should see what everybody else has to deal with when it comes to your post, complet with bad attributions. Much better than Microsoft's later email products. The time when one could assume new updates were improvements passed a long time ago.) -- Regards, Savageduck |

Needless to say, for any serious photographer that was/is a false claim. photos was never intended for serious photographers. it's a consumer app that is bundled for free with every mac and quite a bit better than the old and aging iphoto. |

If I want to upgrade my camera I will buy a new camera, not an iPad. As for the camera in my iPhone, I have always considered that a camera of last resort when I have nothing else available. Now that I have upgraded my old iPhone 5S to an iPhone 6S+ I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of image I can get with it, but it remains a secondary photography tool for me. Though I have friends who use it as their only camera. I'm finding less and less reason to take the iPad on a day trip, as I can do almost everything - perhaps even everything - on the Moto G3 phone (including some programs which aren't available for the iPad). I suppose those programs would be custom stuff related to your particular interest in satellites? Thanks for your other comments. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Where would the "fair warning" appear? direct email to users and public statements, both of which were widely reported by tech news sites and photo news sites, along with adobe announcing a migration tool to lightroom, also widely reported, as well as being extensively discussed on various forums, including usenet, dpreview, etc. |

Where would the "fair warning" appear? Not where would it appear, where it did appear, starting with this very NG and the issues Jonas had with his move from Aperture to Lightroom over a year ago. Then multiple photography sites, computing sites, including Apple itself, and Apple/Mac centric News Groups such as comp.sys.mac.system and comp.sys.mac.apps, and George has participated in those NGs as have others you might know such as Davoud and our very own nospam.

The most recent update, I believe, was in late 2013. Yep. Just launched Aperture under 10.12b5. Works fine. Lewis- My problem was that Aperture appeared to launch, but its menus never developed. I could not even check to see which version I had. I thought my Aperture was up-to-date, but it stopped working correctly with 10.11. Based on your comments, I did some digging at Apple. One of the items told me that I could hold down both Option and Command keys when starting Aperture, and get a menu for rebuilding three items. When I "rebuilt" the first item, Aperture started working correctly. It turns out I have version 3.6, so the problem may have occurred when converting iPhoto to the Photos App. I went back and rebuilt the other two items just to be sure. All seems to be working again. For those who do not have version 3.6, I hope it is possible to download an update that can be installed without having to boot under an older system. I found the "rebuild" option before finding the update. Fred |

George Kerby:
After updating my MacPro OS to the latest, I found that my professional photo software, Aperture 3.4.5 that I purchased on disc for over $225 was now USELESS and FUBAR. Apple tends to write code to disable an app just because... Since we have three testimonials confirming that Aperture 3.6 runs under the latest El Capitan (from David Ritz, RJH, and me), your assertion doesn't hold up. Unfortunate that, after all these years, Mr. Kerby is just now learning about keeping software up to date. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |
