Apple has pulled iPhoto and Aperture from the Mac App Store following the launch of Photos for OS X.The new Photos app launched as part of OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. While the app is considered a ‘vast improvement’ over iPhoto, Aperture users will miss some of the professional image editing features they’re accustomed to.If you’re an Aperture user you can still use the app and access it from your list of purchases; however, it will no longer be updated and you may want to consider a switch to Lightroom. Adobe updated Lightroom with an integrated Aperture and iPhoto import utility as of version 5.7.Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Email, Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTubeAdvertise Here
Apple has asked Florence and the Machine and more than a dozen other artists for exclusive deals to promote its revamped Beats Music service, reports Bloomberg.The company’s in talks with the British group, which is set to release an album in June, about giving Apple limited streaming rights to a track, and has approached Taylor Swift and others about partnerships, according to people familiar with the matter. The idea is that exclusives will be bait for music lovers loathe to pay for subscriptions.Apple is expected to revamp Beats Music into the Music app and relaunch it this summer. It’s believed to cost $9.99/month for individuals and $14.99/month for families. Apple had hoped to offer the service for a lower price but they couldn’t get music labels on board.Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Email, Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTubeAdvertise Here
