Amazingly, it is more than half a Gigabyte download, for a version that is not even 3.3!
Beware, if you had MobileMe Gallery, it will vanish!

Thank you for the info... App store shows it as roughly a 35mb update.

Mine is gone from the sidebar and replaced by empty untitled folders! I wasn't using it really so for me it wasn't a big deal. It was 550 MB on my updater! Maybe it's a hardware sensitive update. Or maybe because mine was not from App Store.
When I updated, using the app store, there was a 36MB download that then started a 672MB download containing the actual update. I still have a MobileMe icon on the left, but the folder is empty, like it was when I started.

OK. So let's put a little wishful thinking in here. This probably was an update to make Aperture play nicer with iCloud and Photostream. But it may have been necessary to accommodate a major upgrade to Aperture 4.0! Well, I can dream, can't I?

Only my opinion. It's worth what you paid for it. Your mileage may vary! ;-}

After the update it's running a little faster on my machine!
Is your MobileMe account still listed in Web Preferences for Aperture? If so, can you disable/enable to get the albums back? You should send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html

Installed it, thanks.
Doesn't seem to have made any real significant differences here though, possibly a little 'snappier', but that's had to judge really.
My MobileMe Galleries are still all functioning.

It would be extremely difficult for Aperture to run any slower, short of stopping entirely.
I imagine "a little faster" in the Aperture world = "not quite so perfectly slow". You'd think Apple could address this awful shortcoming. In comparison, LightRoom = LightNing. Setting aside Final Cut Pro X, a delinquent toddler very far from maturity, Aperture has to be Apple's biggest mess.

I keep reading these comments about speed, but when I tried the demo of Lightroom, I didn’t really notice much difference, most things operated at about the same speed as Aperture, except I found the workflow not as well thought out.
Aperture may not be perfect, but neither is Lightroom. Also, Even with the new pricing, Aperture is considerably cheaper, and when maintained well, and set up well, it performs perfectly well.
I use it on an older Mini (late 2009), with 8GB of RAM, and my Library is on an external FW800 drive. It opens fast enough, and most of the adjustments work pretty much real time.

Thanks Owen. It worked. Yes the account was listed in Web preferences but it wasn't showing anything on the sidebar. I removed it and created a new MobileMe/iCloud and now everything is back to normal.

Aperture performance can be highly configuration specific, meaning two people running essentially the same hardware can have quite different experiences.
I started a thread a while back to serve as a useful reference for common Aperture performance issues.

I decided to stop updating it after it got hijacked by forum children (I mean emotional age, as some where actually old fogies) so I felt compelled to be a childish too, threw my toys out of the pram and stopped updating it. But some of it is still relevant and may be worth a read.

Anyone else having a touch of stability issues with this update? About once an hour it does a quit-crash. Up to now that's been extremely rare, barely ever.
I think it may be brush related. And oddly it has happened on each of the blurring/NR/skin smoothing bricks but not during a tonal brush adjustment, though that may just be a coincidence.

FWIW I noticed e.g. dodge brush-in to be more responsive, on my Mac Pro.

I just noticed that with this update the main preview of a version edited with external editor or a plugin does not render (the small preview in browser does). I have to shut down Aperture and open it again to see changes in the main view. Anybody with similar experience?
I now have a feeling that Aperture was designed by excellent concept and poor programming! My advice for Aperture 4, take the design and concept and rebuild it from scratch!

That has been a problem with Aperture 3 since its release. It got noticeably better after a few updates but it is still there occasionally though I now manage to get it to update by simpler means than re-starting Aperture. I'd say you are just unlucky that something has triggered this bug to hit you more, don't think it will be universally true for this update.
They did that to some extent with Aperture 1.1, then again with Aperture 2. And it is not that LR would not occasionally hang itself as well, particularly with web export plugins, I often enough look at spinning beachballs as a small change to the output requires a rebuild of the web site preview.

Thanks Clem I tried that. It only works if the main viewer frame is smaller than preview and it has to show a portion of the image. Otherwise it goes back to not showing the change. For example when I make the whole Aperture window smaller, it shows the edited version. When I hit 'z' for 100%view (provided the image is large) it shows the changes. But when I hit 'z' again to go to 'fit the frame' size, the changes disappear again! but restart makes it permanent.
It's not a disaster but it's kind of thing I can't stand!
