Yes, and in addition we have completely updated the plug-in architecture to a universal 32/64 bit binary which solved many compatibility issues that arose throughout updates of Snow Leopard and Aperture 3.

Please keep in mind that to be able to run the plug-in in 64 bit mode, your system must also be 64 bit capable. Meaning that you must have an 64 bit processor and operating system installed. Identifying the operating system is the easy part, Mac OS 10.6 is the only 64 bit OS released thus far. Please refer to this Apple support document to find out if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit Intel-based Mac.

As of Aperture 3.0.3 this has been resolved, please update your software via Software Update or manually here. In Aperture versions 3, 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 there is a bug that causes plug-ins to specify the last used preset in Aperture's export dialogue instead of the one you choose when in the export plug-in module. A suggested workaround is to export an image normally using the wanted preset in Aperture, then use the plug-in for that setting chosen previously.

We have a general FAQ section with a licensing page outlining the answers to most common questions here. If you find you still need assistance, please email support here.

This was a problem for older versions of this plug-in, but has been fixed as of version 2.0.1. If you are still having this issue, try downloading the newest version.

Simply select the server you would like to edit in the list of server Favorites, then click Edit. This will take you to the connection settings.

ÜberUpload currently supports FTP and SFTP protocols.

During export, an export progress indicator appears towards the bottom of the Aperture panel. Either clicking on the progress indicator or selecting "Show Activity" from the Window menu while exporting will allow you to view export activity, including the number of images uploaded.

There are various reasons for this kind of error. Typically, you want to use Passive Mode for FTP connections. Make sure your settings are properly configured:
If you are running Mac OS 10.4, open System Preferences and in the Network pane, make sure you have "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" checked.


If you are running Mac OS 10.5, open System Preferences and from the Network pane select "Advanced" and make sure you have "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" option checked under the "Proxies" tab.


If you are still experiencing issues and your firewall is enabled, ensure that Aperture is allowing incoming connections in the "Security" settings panel. In this case, Aperture would be interfacing directly with your server and be required to receive data in order to successfully process the transaction.

Open “System Preferences”
Select “Security”
Select the “Firewall” tab
Ensure that Aperture is set to “Allow incoming connections”
If not set, choose the “Allow only essential services” radio button
Click the plus (+) icon in the lower left corner
Choose “Aperture” from the applications list
Click “Add”

These issues also could be due to a permissions issue on your server. Please check with the host that your user account has the required permissions allowing read & write access from your IP address to their server.

To access folders above your initial entry point, specify an absolute path (a path starting with a "/") in the "initial path" setting for the server. Specifying "/" will allow you to access the root path of the server (if you have appropriate permissions).

You can control the behavior of the plug-in when you try to upload files with the same name to a remote server. Clicking on the Preferences button allows you to choose whether you want the plug-in to warn you about files with identical names or if you want to automatically replace these files with the files you are uploading.

The compression option controls are located in Upload Options. You can access the Upload Options screen by clicking on the action button after connecting to a server. Then, use the "Compress" drop-down to control the zipping behavior.

When diagnosing plug-in errors, there are several system variables to take into consideration first before digging deeper into the code. Repairing your permissions is a good place to start, and also good practice after installing software. To do this, launch Disk Utility from the Applications under Utilities. Then select Repair and press Repair Disk Permissions. This basically cleans up your system files so that they can access each other properly. If that does not resolve the issue, you could simply restart the machine as another basic starting point. Testing in an alternate or new account could also help in determining the root of the issue. For more on what information you should send in when requesting technical support, please read through the general FAQ section or contact us.
