How can I uninstall a previously installed version of Aperature from another owner?

Hi,
I purcased my iMac from a previous owner.  His version of Aperature is still on it - registered under his AppleID.  I would like to uninstall it as it is preventing me from using my own version of iPhoto.  How can I do this?  Would it be asvisable to uninstall it and then purchase a new version of Aperature and then convert my iPhoto library to Aperature?  Right now, iPhoto wont launch becuase it wants me to upgrade Aperature, but I don't own a registered copy to my Apple ID, so I can't upgrade it.
My setup is:
iMac 27" 12,2
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
32GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048MB
OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
Aperature 3.2.4
iPhoto 9.5.1
Thank you!

The previous owner of that machine should have wiped it and install the original OS that shipped with the system leaving the system at the point where the new owner takes over and enters all there own information.
Before you go much further with this machine you should seriously consider backing up any new stuff you have done and wiping it and starting from scratch. If you keep the system like it is you  will be plagued with problems. Even doing OS updates will prove frustrating.
Right now the best you can do is to move the Aperture that is on the system into the trash, log into the App Store using your ID and buying Aperture. That should work but to be honest I have never had to do it so can;t say for sure.

  • I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi.

    I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi. I have tried removing  the old version in add/remove programs, but it says the same error. I tried deleting every thing that has itunes in the file/folder/etc and it didn't help.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Is iTunes 11.1.5 compatible with Mac OSX 10.6.8? If not how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    Problem: Recently when I open iTunes it doesn't work; the little pinwheel just keeps spinning.
    I have tried leaving it on, as suggested by another user, for over 12 hours. I didn't work.
    I think the new iTunes version, 11.1.5, is not compatible with the operating system; Mac OSX 10.6.8. If this is so, how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    You need to be updated to iTunes 11.2.2.
    You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files.
    Combo updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 - 1.09 GB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    After running the combo updater, select Software Updater and update iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open after updating, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes. It will ask you to locate your iTunes Library.
    Note: I've seen users with their iTunes Library on an external drive spin like this when the drive was failed to be seen in Disk Utility. Run Repair Drive on the external drive to fix this issue.

  • How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

    How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

    Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out     Sign in with another Apple ID.
    However all Apps purchased with the previous ID will be forever tied to it and will always require it to update.
    So if you plan on changing owners its better to wipe the iPad clean, and let the new owner set it up from scratch.
    Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings will put the iPad back to the way it was when it was first taken out of the box.

  • How can I to control any element of my GUI from another class?

    How can I to control any element of my GUI from another class?

    For that, you need the external class to have the reference to your element.. If your idea is to change basic properties like width, height etc.. then you can have the constructor of the external class to take the object of the parent of your class as the parameter and modify ..
    However, if the properties to be altered/accessed are custom to your element, then you will have to have the class accept an object of your class as the parameter. No other option..
    What exactly is your requirement?

  • Need to reinstall Photoshop CS2 but it can't find a previously installed version so won't reinstall

    Photoshop CS2 told me there was a "major problem" and that I would need to reinstall the software to continue using it.
    So I used the installer CD, but it told me it could not install because there was already a copy installed, which would need to be removed.
    So I removed the old version and tried to reinstall but now it tells me it needs a previously installed version in order to reinstall.
    Adobe "customer service"chat  is 100% useless on this, referred me to the 800 #, been on hold for over 45 miinutes now, and no relevant topics found on "help" forums.
    For a multibillion dollar monopoly, you'd think they could hire a couple of customer service reps but I guess it's all DIY "support" here, so can anyone help?

    So, you are NOT trying to reinstall an upgrade, but a purchased version (not in an upgrade path from one version to the next)?
    If that is correct, there should be no request for a "previously installed version." That only appears when one is installing an upgrade.
    Are you installing from physical media (a DVD), or from a download?
    Sorry, I do not have an answer for you.
    Good luck,

  • How can I call a public function in one component from another component?

    I have two components: Form and Confirmation.  Form is a Canvas and Confirmation is a TitleWindow.
    Form contains several controls and a submit button.  Confirmation contains an OK button.  When the user clicks the submit button, the Confirmation appears over the Form (Form is blurred).  When the user clicks the OK button on the Confirmation, I want to run a function on Form to set some default values in the controls.
    How can I address the function in the Form component from the Confirmation component so I can fire the function?

  • How can I restore the previous ios version on my IPad?

    In the previous version of the os, I frequently used the tool "maps".
    It was very helpfull to find b&amp;b around a place.
    Now the new tool is **** !
    No more metadata...
    So I lost the major interest of my IPad when I go abroad...
    I'm so surprised to see the evolution! What a progress... 3D indeed but a major regression in the usability !
    So how can I roll back to the previous IOS ?
    Quickly help needed please...
    Thanks

    dear Tom,
    since last US election 'YES WE CAN'
    I found a tuto on the web hopefully...
    unfortunately the only way to keep a real map tool and not a garbage one

  • How can I invoke a JSP using a URL instance from another JSP?

              Hi all.
              I've been developed a J2EE application using Oracle 9iAS.
              Now I'm migrating to WL Server and I have the following problem.
              I was using the following code to read a URL contents from another JSP:
              URL url = config.getServletContext().getResource("/path/to/url/of/textfile.xsl");
              This was working fine in a expanded directory project structure (typical during
              development time) and Oracle 9iAS.
              When I execute this code from my WL packed .ear file I get a URL not found exception.
              Which is the right way to get a resource available from the same context root?
              Thanks in advance for your answers (and sorry for my bad english ;-))

  • How can i access all the objects of one schema from another schema

    Dear All,
    How can i access all the objects(Tables,Views,Triggers,Procedures,Functions,Packages etc..) and do the modifications of one schema from another schema (Without using synonyms concept).
    Thanks in advance,
    Mahi

    First of all, synonyms only help you easy reference the object. It doesn't have any implication of object privilege.
    As long as you have proper privilege on target object. You can access it with or without synonyms.
    Assuming you have proper privilege of objects, you can use following command to assume schema owner.
    ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = Schema_owner

  • How can I uninstall Quicktime to install an earlier version?

    I am using Adobe Premiere on 10.3.9 and I have had a ton of problems each time I upgrade anything, including Quicktime - Apparently, the optimum version of quicktime to run Premiere is 6.5.2 - -
    I have trashed everything that says quicktime from every drive, but still, when I go to install quicktime 6.5.2 the installer will not let me choose my start up disk because it says there is a newer version already on it... What am I missing here? Am I going to have to erase the entire disk and re-install every bit of software?
    Help, please!

    None of the uninstallers worked. I would always get messages saying that I had a newer version of quicktime installed no matter what I did. I dragged everything I could find on the drive (on every volume in the computer) to the trash and dumped it all - got the same message -= I finally just backed up all my files and erased the disk and reinstalled the entire operating system starting with OS 9 . - that was the only thing that worked for me.

  • How can I back my previous software version on my macbook

    I do have many problems in OSX even my mail box ,connectivity, openning a folder these are all not working well in OSX 

    you can't and its not recommended. once you update to the most current version there is no going back. the only place that could roll it back is nokia care but they will only do it for a GOOD reason not just because you want to roll it back.
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....
