Aperture 3 store bought vs. app version

Other than price what is the difference between the $200 retail version and the $79 app store versions of Aperture 3 ? Apple rep claims that the app store version is not the full version but did not know anything else.

There is a difference in the licensing restrictions. 
IIRC, the App store version allows you to run Aperture on any of your computers, whereas the $200 version is restricted to just one desktop and one laptop.  I think in both cases, you must be using Aperture on only one computer at a time.
There is another thread on this somewhere

  • How do I activate previously store bought CS6 Student version on a new computer without optical drive?

    I have a store bought student version of CS6, which I have had on my old computer for the last 2 years. I now bought a new computer without an optical drive and I tried downloading the software from Adobe. When I entered the previously assigned serial number it said "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again.  If the problem persists, contact Customer Support"  well....there is no real customer support that I can find, so any help would be appreciated.

  • App Store not showing app version number anymore.

    I noticed that starting from a few weeks back, Apps with new updates in the 'Updates' tab do not show the version number of the app. Now only the app size in MB and 'What's New' is shown.
    Anybody can shed light on this ?
    Thanks.

    It is not in the Applications folder?
    Otherwise, I would suggest the Combo update

  • Why App store doesn't recognize my Aperture 3 installed from the disk version?

    I have installed Aperture 3 from the DVD some months ago (bought 129 EUR). And the App Store does not recognize it (no popup "installed" but "Buy" for 62,99 EUR).
    Could you tell me why?
    J'ai installé Aperture 3 depuis le DVD il y a quelques mois  acheté 129 EUR). App Store ne reconnait cette version (il n'indique pas "installé", mais "acheter" (pour 62,99 EUR).
    Pouvez-vous me dire pourquoi ?

    Maybe it's simply because you have the disc version so it doesn't recognize it. I have heard that there are some differences between the app store version and the disc (I believe due to licensing, but i'm just going on what I remember)

    I just bought aperture and downloaded it from app store. when I try to open the app I get a warning message that says: There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option the is to quit. What is wrong?

    Hi,
    not sure what the problem might be, but you can try the following:
    While pressing ALT+CMD on the keyboard, click on the Aperture icon in the dock: Aperture then opens in a special "recovery mode", and you're prompted to choose what kind of repair you need: Repair Permissions / Repair Database / Rebuild Database
    Considering the situation, I'd recommend you to try "the "Repair Permissions" option first.
    If that isn't enough (and it may well be the case), then go straight for the "Rebuild Database" option; it's a non-destructive opration anyway, but since you've just installed Aperture you shouldn't have anything valuable in the default library...
    NOTE: if you do have some pictures in the library, instead, do a backup first! Time Machine is your friend
    Another option would be to launch Aperture while keeping only the ALT (option) key pressed: Aperture will ask you what library you want to open, or you can choose to create a new one from scratch.
    Good luck!
    Corrado

  • I'm trying to re-install an earlier version of a third party app I bought from App Store, version is not available anymore. The problem, 3rd party does not recognize my purchase ID, since I got it from App Store.

    I'm trying to re-install an earlier version of a third party app I bought from App Store, version is not available anymore. The problem, 3rd party does not recognize my purchase ID, since I got it from App Store. My Mac Air Book is limited to update up to OS 10.6.8, unaware of updating the new version of Mac Cleanse I bought from App Store, this new version does not support my OS 10.6. How can the App Store provide me with an earlier version of Mc Cleanse?
    Thanks,

    It can't. That app is now lost to you.

  • I just bought an app, $ 29.99, I installed it, but apparently only free version is installed. Apps asking me to buy the full version for 39.99, I cant find the way to communicate with app store. Help me please

    I just bought an App, $29.99. I got the free version apparently. Every time i try to use it message  says buy the full version for 39.99. What i am suppose to do now????

    Excuse me moinpara, but I know how you feel and I have been there many of times. It is not Itunes fault that your purchase inquiry was proposed to you as invalid, rather much more sort of than rather it being. If this happened to me, I would research that App, try to find out what went wrong. Heh, if you or I were to ask myself I could either tell you that you are putting yourself in a hole! Woah, but now this seems to me like something that would be simple to just contact an iPhone or apple associate and tell them why this happened to you, especially right after Christmas, or whatever religious holiday you choose to follow
    If I were to be in your shoes I would of spent the money in the itunes store on something else! But that is just me.

  • How do i update my Mac App store bought Photoshop Elements?

    How do i update my Mac App store bought Photoshop Elements 9? Adobe says Apple handles updates, no updates were ever issued via App Store. Manual downloads on adobe.com results in Patch not compatible on both a security/bug fix update to PE9 and Camera Raw 6.5 update that adds more supported cameras.
    All together, it means i have 80$ of useless software that doesn't support new camera models. Not happy.

    For some reason, Adobe pulled Photoshop Elements 9 from the Mac App Store. It may be related to the fact they released version 11 just 6 days ago? (Note that I'm checking right now and in the US app store - other county app stores may differ.)
    In any case, because it is no longer existing, you won't be able to get any future updates. If I were you, I'd contact Adobe and specifically ask why they removed the app from the App Store, preventing their users from downloading any updates in the future.

  • Someone else bought an app on the store. I had already purchased the app before on my other computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again on MY account but...........

    Someone else bought an app on the store on my new computer. I had already purchased the app before on my old computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again through MY account. When I click INSTALL it asks for ID, but it shows up automatically with the other person's ID, so I delete that and enter mine instead. I then click SIGN IN, but then it says "Unknown error", then I click OK, then it says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)". How do I get rid of all info of other people's IDs so I can get the app through my account again?
    The app that I'm trying to download actually might have been a pirated app. But I deleted it, so why is it not letting me get it through my account?
    Please help!
    Thanks

    Three possible causes:
    - You got charged twice. On a computer go to iTunes Store>View Account>Purchase History and see what you got charged for
    - Maybe the difference is due to tax. Again the Purchase History will list the total price including tax for each purchase.
    - You had a negative balance (you owed money) before you redeemed the card.

  • Why doesn't the App Store prompt for older versions on first download?

    I thought Apple user interfaces were supposed to be slick.  Here's what I have to do to install an app.  I've inherited a first generation iPad from a friend.  The iPad was fully erased and set back to factory defaults before I got it.  I have created my Apple ID and started customising the machine to suit me.  The machine is running the very latest version of IOS it is capable of supporting 5.1.1.  So I gaily visit the app store and start trying to install a few apps I like.  Of course today 90% of the apps in the store are designed for IOS 6 or later and simply refuse to install at all.  So here is the rather less than slick workaround I have to do. 
    First I have to put the iPad away and go to my Windows 8.1 Desktop computer running iTunes.  I log in using my Apple ID, visit the App Store, pick the apps I want and download a few that I'd like to my computer.  I then switch back to using the iPad.  Now I see the apps I've downloaded to the computer attempting to install themselves on the iPad.  If I've downloaded more than one app.  This fails for all the apps.  I have to wait for all the apps to fail, then delete them from the iPad and then visit the App Store on the iPad and navigate to Purchased Apps section.  Now I can see my apps waiting and can attempt to install them one at a time.  If I do this then, each app attempts to install singly, fails, and then I am gracefully asked if I'd like to download an older version of the app.  If I do that the download and install works - hooray!  I then repeat this process for the remaining apps.  Next time I need to install any apps I have to repeat the whole process.  It's not what I'd call slick. 
    Why on earth doesn't the App Store simply prompt for an older version of the app when I first want to install it? 
    Why do I have to do the rigmarole of switching to my PC, downloading there, and then switching back to the iPad again just to force the "Would you like to download an older version of the App" prompt to appear? 
    I'm not impressed so far.

    No one here can speak for Apple since we are all just users like you. Perhaps the answer is as simple as this. This feature just rolled out recently. Perhaps Apple thought it was important enough to make it available before they had built out the whole solution.
    Just a thought.
