APERTURE 2.0 WON'T LAUNCH

I have previously installed Aperture 2.0 on this MacBook, and it worked fine. All of a sudden now when I try to launch it, the program shuts down before starting. I tried to relaunch to no avail. I then decided to reinstall with my install disk. The problem there is that I cannot find the original documentation that contains the serial number. Without the serial number it will not let me reinstall it.

  • Aperture First Aid won't launch

    Had a USB hub fail while my Aperture library was open, which evidently caused some database corruption. Read up on how to use the Aperture 3 First Aid function to repair...but the thing _will not launch_. Every time I try and launch Aperture (whether by launching the app directly or by double clicking the library) while holding down Command-Option, it just gives me the standard "database error" message.
    I've trashed the user/plist file for Aperture, no change. I've reinstalled Aperture from scratch....no change. First aid just will not launch, no matter what I seem to do.
    Help!

    So the drive was connected to your Mac through a hub. The Aperture library is on this drive. The hub failed while Aperture had this library opened. You fixed the hub or reconnected the drive through another USB port. And finally there is no backup.
    Accurate so far?
    Did you try to open the library and get an error message and then try running the library first aid or did you go straight to first aid?
    Is the external disk formatted OS X Extended? Do you have room to make a copy of the library? If you do it would be a good idea to do so before proceeding. It is always possible that while troubleshooting you could make things worst and having a BU of the library, even though it is messed up would be a good thing.
    Some things to try:
    Run +Disk Utility+ *disk repair* on the affected drive. If Disk Utility reports that if fixed something keep running it until it reports that the drive 'appears ok'. Try Aperture now, fixed?
    If no then start Aperture by holding the ⌥ (option) key only. This will bring up Aperture's library chooser. Create a new empty library. Try to merge the corrupted library into the new empty library. Aperture will still need to repair the library but some users have reported success doing it this way when trying to fix the library from the first aid window failed.
    Begin a backup program.

  • TS4412 Aperture 3.4.3 simply won't launch from a fresh install

    So, I just purchased Aperture from the App Store, and it won't launch.
    I tried the advice here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4412
    To no avail. Since the app hasn't launched, there is no preference file to delete.
    The only other variables, of course, would be my hardware and OS, but all of that is up to date.
    I kind of need the app running... Any idea what's happening?
    Cheers,

    Do you have Final Cut installed? The crash dump has all the signs of the classic Final Cut /Aperture conflict.
    If so the easiest way to fix the situation is to just install the operating system Mountain Lion again. Re-installing the OS will not damage your data files however is it always a good idea to have a full backup in cases lie this.

  • After latest upgrade, Aperture won't launch!

    I downloaded the latest Aperture (v. 2.1.3) for my MacBook Pro, and lo and behold, it won't launch! I've tried trashing Preferences, same result. Any other suggestions?

  • Aperture won't launch. Once bounce in the dock, that's it

    My Aperture has been updated to 3.2, running Mac OSX 10.7.2, 8GB or RAM on a MacBook Pro and when clicked-on Aperture's icond does one bounce then just stays still in the dock. The app won't launch, I repaired all permissions, restarted the MBP and tried again. The icon bounces once and quits.
    Oh Apple.

    Finally got it to launch. Tried holding down Option-Command and starting, no luck, still only once bounce. Then tried trashing plist preference file from the Library, still only one bounce and no launch.
    Finally went to file info and switched Aperture to 32-bit mode and it launched.

  • Aperture won't launch on 15" Retina MBP

    I recently moved to a Retina 15" MacbookPro. Installed Aperture (app store), and it worked fine with Lion. Upgraded to ML, and now Aperture won't launch. I read the thread having to do with a conflict with Final Cut Express. That's not me. No FCE (or and Final Cut apps) loaded on this machine.
    I've removed all existing Aperture libraries (to force the creation of a new library on launch).
    I've re-downloaded Aperture from the app store, to make sure I have a nice clean version.
    It won't launch.
    Anyone else out there having this problem?
    I suppose I could try re-installing OSX 10.8, but that seems extreme.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    More info. Some good. Some not so.
    Right-clicked iPhoto library in finder and chose Aperture as app to luanch, and Aperture opened it right up.
    Tried switching to an Aperture library. Crash.
    Repeated launch of iPhoto library.
    Tried creating new Aperture library. Crash.
    Right-clicked an Aperture library and chose Aperture as app to open, and Aperture opened it up (I think I'd tried this prior to posting, without success, but can't be 100% sure of that)
    At any rate, the library I want is now open, so I should just go get some work done, but I'd appreciate any insights into what might be going on.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • I just upgraded OS X to 10.6.7 and now Aperture (3.1.2) won't launch.  Any troubleshooting suggestions (short of re-installing Aperture)?

    Help!  I just upgraded my early 2008 MacBook Pro 4,1 from OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6.7.  Everything appears to be working fine, except for Aperture 3.1.2, which won't launch - gives an error message which states that "there is a problem" and to "check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X" ( I have to admit I got a chuckle at that, since it's Apple's own effing product!).  Any suggestions short of reinstalling Aperture?
    Thanks,
    John

    Sorry you'll need to re-install Aperture see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3485
    And while the web page mentions 10.6.4 it still holds for 10.6.7

  • Aperture 2 keeps crashing on launch

    Hi
    Anyone else experiencing / experienced this problem. I'm on 10.5.7. I've been using A2 for a long time and now A2 won't launch. The error message I get is "The application Aperture quit unexpectedly."
    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Aperture 2 crashed for me consistently whenever I had a particular external drive attached. I finally rebuilt the external drive, and the problem resolved. Strange, but true!

  • Photoshop CS6 won't launch and when it does it's really slow...help?

    Hi,
    So my copy of Photoshop CS6 sometimes won't launch and when it does manage to launch fully, it's really slow. I mean ridiculously slow. The only times when I can get it to run even remotely quick is if I shut down my computer, and then restart it and then start up Photoshop CS6 as the first program. Even then it slows down after a while. (And I only have a firefox browser open usually, never more than a couple of tabs at once, so it's not a bandwidth issue)
    Here are my comp specs:
    Samsung
    Processor:
    AMD A6-3420M APU with
    Radeon (Tm) HD graphics 1.50 ghz
    Installed Memory (RAM) - 4.00 (3.48 usable)
    64 Bit operating System running on Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1
    I also did just recently install the new update Adobe had for Photoshop, so that's up to date.
    It's getting really frustrating! I have another program I'm using in the meantime (Paint tool Sai), but I'd really like to use Photoshop CS6.....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Make sure you updated the drivers from AMD's website, not Microsoft.
    Make sure you are running the 64 bit version of Photoshop, not 32 bit.
    Disable all third party plugins, and try disabling system utilities (we've seen font managers, antivirus, disk backup software, etc. cause slowdowns due to bugs in those utilities).

  • Mail won't launch nor its settings save/ allow changes after 2.0

    Anyone else have this ? Mail just won't launch ; opens to the main scroll screen, which stays blank, with the top and bottom bars showing – the bottom bar showing the refresh and write buttons – and then quits. Also, I cannot delete my MobileMe or GMail account, nor edit them.
    Though with the MM account, if I try to delete it, it disables all of the push functions except mail. Things that I've been trying to do, like change whether the Trash folder autodeletes mail or not and the name of the account, don't save at all. The Trash delete frequency change stays in place as long as I'm in the Mail settings ; the name change doesn't hold at all.
    In the second setting 'pane' in Settings – "Nouvelles Données" in French, so I guess "New Data" ? – down in Advanced, there are two MobileMe Push accounts listed. The first one saying it syncs calendars and contacts, and the second one mail... Yet I only have one MM account set up, or so says the uneditable Mail settings.
    Nor can I (re)add my MM and GMail accounts. Trying to add a Yahoo account I never put on the also failed.
    I've restarted my touch too.
    Sounds like one of those things that when on a Mac, deleting a plist or fixing permissions would be suggested... I can't find a similar Settings-related problem anywhere on the internet either.
    Reïnstall?

    im having a mail problem too. i have a multiple yahoo mail accounts and every single one of them wont work. i keep getting this "the user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect." so i deleted my accounts and re-entered them. and the same message came up. i've re-typed the information many times throughout the day and it didnt work. i tried a different account and the same happened. then i tried my gmail account and that didnt work. yours sounds worse than mine, though. im not having mulitple languages. i hope you can figure it out = ]

  • CS3 Installer Won't Launch

    OSX 10.5.5
    Intel Quad Core Tower, 8GB Ram
    Currently installed: CS3.3 Master Collection
    I am trying to reinstall Acrobat 8 from my Master Collection 3 disc, and Setup won't launch. I've also tried Utilities:Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection, and it won't launch either.
    I've tried the standard solutions: fix file permissions, install from admin account and new user account, uninstalled CS4 Beta applications. Nothing has helped.
    Adobe technical support has been no help. I've been on the phone with them for two hours this morning.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    BRIAN, HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME, BUT I WAS USING WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, NOT A MAC SYSTEM. STILL MAYBE IT MAY BE OF HELP.
    I had problems uninstalling and reinstalling my Adobe Master Collection CS3. The problem being that the installer would run and then disappear without initiating the uninstall/installation process.
    Here are the simple combination of steps which worked for me.
    1/ removing Adobe Master Collection CS3 by running add/remove programs
    2/ running the Adobe CS3 clean script. I'm almost 100% certain I chose option 1 when running the script http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    3/ out of desperation and realising I had nothing to loose because I had an image of the fairly newly configured hard drive I was using, I deleted the Adobe "Installers" Folder located inside the Adobe folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    Steps 1 and 2 above did not solve my problem.
    Step 3 did solve my problem. However, I do not know if step 1 and/or 2 were required for step 3 to work.
    GOOD LUCK :-)
    PS. Please let users of this site know if this solution has worked for you ...and if so, pass the solution on elsewhere too.

    Hi,
    Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
    You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
    Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*
