I'm having some major issues with Aperture 3 after the 10.6.4 SL update.
Its crashing on me whenever I start some work with presets or color adjustments etc...screen flickers, I get the beach ball and the system freezes up sometimes to the point where I have to hard boot it down.

Its crashing every 5 - 10 mins of editing...I'm having to move over and use Lightroom 3 now, just to finish the latest family shoot. I like having both, but right now more comfy in A3. Wished they had this fixed.

I'm not the only one either:

Have you repaired permissions? I've not experienced any trouble with it on 10.6.4.

"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Yep, I did that today. Have rebooted since then too, no help.
Are you using Aperture 3 or Lightroom 3?
Its only an issue with Aperture 3...

Try repairing disk? And as a final attempt, defragment the hard drive with the Ap Library on it.

The screen flicker happened to me once. I had to do a force reboot to recover from it. This looks like a Aperture / videocard overlay problem to me...

I have the MacBookPro5,3 model, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M video card

Yeah I'm sure its the Video Card, most of the people in the link I posted with NVIDIA cards are the ones with the issue.

Chris, any update to this problem? I'm holding on 10.6.3 until it's resolved.

The only thing I've been able to do for the work around is set A3 to load up in 32-bit mode and I've had no issues there. Other than that, the issue hasn't been resolved by Apple with any updates.

So with Ap3 at 32-bit and with an NVidia card and 10.6.4, Aperture 3 is stable for you?

Yep, I don't have any of the same issues, where it would lock up during the preview of presets, thats where I mainly had issues. But overall, its not crashed at all in 32 bit mode.

I never backed down to 10.6.4 due to needing it for my iPhone 4, was just suffering through trying to use it, then I read somewhere that the 32bit mode fixed it and I tried it out, and be damned if its been good...so for now I'm in 32bit mode.

I'm also looking at buying Lightroom 3, and I think having both is beneficial to me, and I might like having both, for situations where I might need to use one over the other.

OK, thanks. I think I'll go to 10.6.4 since I use Ap3 in 32-bit mode anyway (for Nik suite).

Snow Leopard update was released today and it mentioned something about an Aperture 3 fix

* Resolves an issue that could cause Aperture 3, or StarCraft II by Blizzard, to unexpectedly quit or become unresponsive.
