Maybe I put this in the wrong place before:
I got an update notice regarding Aperture 3.4.1. I still have 3.3.2 installed and received the message that the update failed because Mac OS X 10.7.5 is needed. I work with 10.7.4.
Reading through the many posts regarding issues with Time Machine, Spotlight (and probably even more …) in the Apple support forums I presently refrain from updating the Mac OS.
Does anyone have some related experience?
What - if any - are the noticeable improvements of Aperture version 3.4.1?
With the latest updates I get the feeling that it is more about struggling with bugs and getting things to run than about productive improvements. Am I wrong?
Thanks for any advice.

d-light,
Yeah you need to be on 10.7.5, as it says. Couldn’t tell you why offhand.
In general, a .x release will have new features or capabilities, whereas a .x.x release is just bug fixes. Usually.
There are always folks with specific reasons not to upgrade, but unless you have them I’d upgrade. Especially when it’s a .x.x release, as that should fix the issues that may have been introduced by the .x release.
Just my general experience, of course.

I’m running 10.7.4 and the latest Aperture which seems more stable than the previous iteration. There’s nothing much new that I find useful - some alteration to Photostreams but I regard that as a bloatware function for children, so I don’t much care what they do with that or Facebook etc.
I won’t be changing the OSX version because my machine is a Mac Pro 1,1 workstation that won’t support anything newer than 10.7.4.
Strange: If I try to update Aperture to version 3.4.1 I receive the following message on my iMac:
We could not complete your update.
Aperture kann nicht auf “Macintosh HD” installiert werden, da Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 oder neuer benötigt wird. Sie können Mac OS X mithilfe der Softwareaktualisierung aktualisieren.
The second part means that I am supposed to update also my Mac OS to version 10.7.5 to be able to install Aperture 3.4.1.
