Seems very, very odd that Aperture does not take 6D images?  Have you asked about that on any Aperture forums or on (another camera forum that doesn't need to be named)?

Link doesn't go anywhere, but I guess your new 6D's RAW files aren't opening with Aperture.

In that case: support.apple.com/kb/dl1717

Thanks Kelly..I've since figured it out. I need to upgrade my OS on my Mac, then buy new version of Aperture which DOES read 6D RAW files. But I have to buy new storage to do a full system backup first, as I've run out of space. So basically, I have to spend about €300 next week and take the time to do that. I'm managing to export all files from the camera in lge jpg and it's working fine for the short term.

So . . . the RAW files from the 6D are not CR2?

They probably are, but if it's anything like Nikon NEF files, an enhancement to the format means a software update, which can mean an actual upgrade to a new release or version, which may imply a new OS, which might require new hardware. I went through this with the D5100 when I got it. Now I run Win8 64-bit on 12GB of RAM. PS CS5 and LR5 are reasonably happy now, although I'm looking at a CPU/motherboard upgrade pretty soon. And an SSD.

It's like gamers, only not quite as bad.
