Aperture 1.5.3 on new MacBook Pro 2.4 17''

I tried Aperture on a brand new MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz 17" this week-end. This was a stock MacBook Pro, 2 GB ram, 256 MB Graphics card (nVidia, I think, on the new machines). I was quite astonished that while it was faster than my old Powerbook 1.33 GHz 17" with certain adjustments, it wasn't really amazingly faster. In fact, rotating an image was almost as slow and cumbersome as on my Powerbook - after I'd played with the thing for about 30 mins.
This is really a pity as I'd looked forward to buying one of these speed monsters... Now it looks as if I'm going to have to continue hoping for 10.5 which will hopefully provide a lot faster CoreGraphics routines. Maybe they'll have released an LED 17" MacBook Pro by then, as well.
Cheers,
k.

...This would imply that
the OS had undergone vast changes of storing (and
retrieving) files on the disk, and that new OS
versions do this a lot more efficiently than older
versions...
It is not necessarily about vast OS changes. What happens is that a system setup and installation can be kludged up or otherwise corrupted; still runs, but not at optimum throughput.
Many folks who run multiple heavy graphics apps find that repairing Permissions immediately before and after every installation of every kind, as well as keeping OS and app versions current, and avoiding "free" or unnecessary apps as much as possible helps keep setups optimized.

How to install aperture 2 (CD Version) on new Macbook Pro Retina

Hello,
Just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina. I wanted to install aperture but all I have is the V.2 CD. How do I go about this?
Thanks!

Just in case you actually already bought an Aperture 3 upgrade online and have a serial number, but did not keep the installer; you can download an Aperture 3 Trial here and unlock it with your serial number:

Aperture 3 performance with the new MacBook Pros?

I'm loosing my mind using slow Aperture 3 with 2007 MacBook Pro 2.4GHz C2D 4gig mem.
If someone has upgraded from similar setup to a newer model, please report if the performance has gotten significantly better, because I will start saving money if it does.

I've managed to get the performance passable by turning basically everything unnecessary off and using Quick Preview most of the time. Still when editing and Quick Preview is turned off, I get the beach ball way too much and simple things like WB changes take a lot of time to refresh. The editing is everything but smooth and flowing. Stamping multiple adjustments qualify for a coffee break.
Any new experiences on Aperture 3 with MacBook Pro 2010's? I found one review on Leica forum saying upgrade from 2008 to 2010 gave a significant boost in performance and reduced a lot of beach balling.

How can I move the aperture program from my old Mac to my new Macbook Pro?

I have Aperture 3.2 on my old Mac laptop and would like to know how to move it over to my new macbook pro retina laptop. I tried to just move it from my external hard drive, but that didn't work. Can I use the migration assistant to transfer this and only this program to my new laptop?
Thanks,
Shirley

Apple Pro Apps like Aperture really do best if installed from the original media that hey were bought on. Trying to migrate Aperture can lead to a lot of frustrating problems.
The libraries can be copied over just as you would any file but the application itself needs to be installed.
How did you purchase Aperture? If you got it in the Mac App Store then all you need to do is log into the MAS from the new computer using the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and download it.
If you bought it on DVD you will need to install from those and then run software update to get to the latest version. Remember if you bought it on DVD you will need the original serial number that was included in the package. Also if this was and upgrade from an earlier version (1 or 2) you will need those serial numbers also.

I uses Time Machine to transfer files and program from old to new MacBook Pro. Aperture doesn't work. Every time I open Aperture the computer need me to key in Serial number. How do I fix it.

Hi There,
I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.

Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.

HT4007 How can I get Aperture onto my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina that DOESN'T have a superdrive from my 5 year old Macbook Pro? I still have the CD and serial number for Aperture. HELP! PLEASE!!

Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.

Two options:
Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial. http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.

HELP PLEASE! Export Aperture 1 Library and Import to Aperture 3? Or another way to transfer files WITH changes into new MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a new MacBook pro with Retina display, to better manage Aperture and Photoshop. I took the advice of the genius (and after spending all night messing with permissions, etc.), opted out of using Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant and decided to transfer my files manually (as the two systems weren't merging properly the first time -- it was a giant mess). Long story short, I tried to transfer everything from my previous MacBook (operating on 10.5.8 with Aperture 1), and Aperture 3 couldn't handle it. It was crashing, and crashing so badly that NO button could be activated in the program (I FINALLY got Aperture working by disabling previews, and by moving from a managed library to a referenced library).
I initially dragged and dropped all photos from my previous MacBook to my external, and imported. I obviously lost folders, edit history and any other information that I needed to know what edits had been done on the file. Additionally, any movie that had been imported into Aperture was corrupt (the file was not transferring over correctly). I searched and searched for different methods, and finally found that I could export each project from my original MacBook as a "Library" and consolidate masters, or not, etc. I took the time and did this for each project. When I went to import these into Aperture 3, it said I was not able to because the libraries were from a previous version of Aperture.
Is there any way to bypass this? Or another way to transfer my projects? I understand I won't be able to do this for my entire library... but I'm wondering if there's any way to transfer my changes made, projects and details from Aperture 1 to Aperture 3? (and for those who might pose upgrading my original MacBook as an option, I cannot. It's too old. I think the best I could uprade to is Aperture 2, IF i can update the OS. Though, I definitely don't think I should be forced to do that since I've aleady re-invested in a new computer, AND had to re-buy Aperture for the new one.
Any/all advice is VERY much appreciated, as I really want to move forward and FINALLY start appreciating this program and computer (i.e. my investment) and move forward business wise. Thank you!

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

Hello everyone! i have a new macbook pro and i want to download aperture. my app store says it is already installed (on my old macbook pro). how do i install aperture from the app store in this instance please?

Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

Installing Aperture 3 onto new MacBook Pro

Hi Support Team,
I own a copy of Aperture 3.0 (on disk); I bought the software back in 2010 when it was first released and have been running the software on my MacBook Pro (2009 model).
Now, I have bought the new MacBook Pro Retina and installed Mountain Lion.
Question:
Do I have to purchase the latest version of Aperture to work on the new MacBook?
Or can I load Aperture 3.0 using my original disk and hope that I can update the software to the latest version (3.3.2)?
Thanks,
Steve

You should be able to install with the DVD and then download the AP 3.3.2 installer from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1561?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You may or may not need to go the 'System Preferences > Security & Privacy' and select 'Anywhere' in the 'Allow applications downloaded from:' section. I am not sure whether or not the DVD will get flagged as it may or may not be a signed installer.
Suggest running the AP 3.3.2 update and then 'Repair Permissions' via Disk Utility prior to launching Aperture for the first time.

Installing previously purchased boxed Aperture on new MacBook Pro.

My old Mac Pro has kicked the bucket so I have purchased a new MacBook Pro with no CD/DVD drive. My past purchases of Aperture were in the form of Aperture 2 and the upgrade to Aperture 3, both in box form. The only place that I can find a download of an installation copy of Apeture is at the App Store but then I'd have to repurchase it.
I called Apple but the support people just sent me a form to fax proof of purchase for a serial replacement. I'm not sure that's what I need.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Julianne

Julianne, the last Aperture 3 installer (the Trial installer) is no longer available for download, sorry.
You need to find a way to read your installer CD/DVD. Can anybody, who owns a Mac with a CD/DVD drive help you to burn a disk image of your Aperture 3 installer DVD to a thumbs drive? Or could you borrow an external DC/DVD drive? Then you could run the Aperture installer from that disk image and immediately upgrade to Aperture 3.4.5 by downloading the 3.4.5 upgrade from Apple's support page.
See: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch the updated version and enter your serial numbers for Aperture 2 und 3.
After that, you should be able to update to Aperture 3.5 from the App Store.
If you cannot copy your installer CD/DVD to a thumbsdrive, try to restore Aperture from your backup. How did you migrate the data from your old mac? Did you run Migration Assistant, using a Time Machine backup?
To restore Aperture from your backup, copy the Aperture application to your Applications folder. Also you need to migrate the folders
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/ from your old Macintosh HD and
~//Library/Application Support/Aperture/ from your Home folder.
But running the installer would be much preferable.

Use the AppleID you originally used when you bought Aperture. If you have forgotten the password, activate it again at the My Apple ID page:

HT3805 Installation of Aperture 3 on new Macbook Pro, upgraded trial version.

Can I intstall Aperture 3 on my new macbook pro if I initially installed it on my current macbook pro using the trial version and product key? The trial version of Aperture 3 is no longer offered on Apple's site.
Thanks.

Can you tell me if there is a way to look up my product key?
You are welcome.
You see the serial number in the "About" panel on your curent MacBook. In Aperture's main menu bar select: Aperture > About Aperture.
You should have received the licence key by email, if you unlocked the Trial. Search your mail box, if you still have a copy of the email. I would archive it, in case you ever need a proof of purchase.

Moved to new Macbook Pro; Aperture 3 Upgrade Serial Number not Accepted

I have just moved to a new MacBook Pro. I migrated Aperture 3 from my Macbook. This was originally an upgrade from Aperture 2.
When opening Aperture 3 on the MacBook Pro I am asked for the serial number. I enter the upgrade serial number which is rejected.
I am really struggling to find the Aperture 2 box and don't know whether that serial number would be the solution.
Has anyone else come across this issue and know how it is resolved?
Assume I will not be able to find the Aperture 2 box. Can Apple help given that I will have previously registered Aperture 2 and 3 in the past? I really don't want to have to splash out on another couple of hundred quid for a lost box.
Please help.

Red,
Yes, assuming that you legally purchased the original version of Aperture from Apple, they will have the serial number on file. When you call they can provide you with the original serial number.

Aperture 3.1.3 crashes on opening. Running Lion on brand new MacBook Pro

I have a brand new MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, i7 Core, running Lion) and am using 3.1.3 Aperture. I have same issue as some others have mentioned elsewhere in the forum - Aperture is no longer opening, all I get is an error message. A few days ago, Aperture opened just fine (I was running Lion with the 3.1.3 version of Aperture then too), but now for whatever reason it is not. I've tried removing the preferences list (com.apple.Aperture.plst), rebooting, reinstalling the update (3.1.3), and still nothing. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Guess I should've done a little more research before I posted this but, found this, which did the trick:
For those with the same problem:
1. Navigate to: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
2. Delete the PluginManager
3. Get a new copy of the PluginManager. (You can copy one from a friends macbook) or use the one hosted here: http://qvenon.com/files/PluginManager.zip

TS2518 license number has to be reentered every time I open Aperture after having data transfer done by Apple store to a new macbook pro. How do I get the license number saved?

I have to re-enter my Aperture license number and upgrade number every time I open Aperture after buying a new MacBook Pro and paying for the data transfer to be done at the Apple store. I can understand having to do this the first time but not every time. How can I get the license number saved?

Aperture 3.4.3 update specifically claims to fix the serial number problem. See the Release notes.
If you've already done the update and still have the problem, read this forum post about the same topic and a solution.
