Aperture 2 not running on OS X 10.6.4

Is it correct that my aperture V2 is not running on my brand new MACbook pro with the OS X 10.6.4?
What can i do to make it work instead of buying aperture V3?

I am running Aperture V2.1.4 with OS 10.6.4 on a MacPro and a MacBook Pro without any issues.
You may need to update Aperture from V2 to V2.1.4.

  • Aperture will not run with new ATI 4870

    I just received my ATi 4870 card from Apple today. Installed it in my early 2008 MacPro. Card works fine for everything except when launching Aperture I get the error "The graphics card installed does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture to run". Huh?? This is replacing a nVidia GeForce 8800 GT. The Ati is a newer, faster GPU than the nVidia and should absolutely run under Aperture. I'm guessing that Apple has not implemented the support for this card in Aperture, which is ridiculous since they're shipping it. Anybody else having this problem? Is there a work around until Apple fixes this?
    Thanks

    Chacro, it's definitely faster than my 8800GT. I don't wait nearly as long for images to render in Aperture, iPhoto, or Photoshop. I work strictly with Canon RAW 5DMarkII files that tend to be ~22-25MB and it loads 'em up like "right now" quick. Overall, I'm happy with it though it was a bit spendy. My advice would be to maybe wait for the nVidia GT285. Rumors are that Apple will be offering that in June, though I don't know if it will only be a BTO option, or sold separately as well. Sounds like that card is going to be just a little more expensive than the 4870, and will pack a full 1GB or RAM. I would have probably waited had I known that was coming when I ordered my 4870. I may wind up selling the 4870 then, or ordering a new MacPro with the GT285 option. Seems I can never have enough power to sling my photos around At the very least, I'll be selling the 8800GT though. Still a great card for someone looking for a bargain
    Thanks again!

  • Aperture does not run after 3.2 update.

    MBP, Core-duo, 10.6.8
    Tried running Aperture Library First Aid tools and Aperture crashes while repairing.
    I've been running Aperture since the beginning and never seen anything like this.
    This is very sloppy work, Apple:(

    My MAC app store is still trying to get me to run the 3.2 upgrade although I have a core duo machine and a fix for that is not mentioned in the list of bugs they have solved. Do you think Apple knows we have a big issue with this trype of machine and if so why have they not stopped it being loaded from the app store (which they can do as it will not allow me to download lion). I am worried even more people will update and end up with our issues . .

  • If you're NOT running Aperture 3.6 and want to update to 10.10.3 - read this FIRST.

    If you’re NOT running Aperture 3.6 and want to update to 10.10.3 - read this FIRST.
    In this personal scenario, I used a Mavericks (10.9) test hard drive to see what would happen if I updated to 10.10.3. No photos were harmed in the making of this post. I have full redundant back-ups of everything as should you before attempting ANY OS update. There simply is no excuse not to back up and keep your personal data protected in this day and age.
    Now that’s out of the way… 
    If you’re not running Aperture 3.6 (which I believe is only available if running 10.10.2), updating to 10.10.3 will disable any version of Aperture below that and it CANNOT be updated or found on the App Store, or downloaded from anywhere else. Both the Aperture and iPhotos icons in the dock will have a white circle with a line going through it.
    If you click to open Aperture, the computer will prompt you to update to the latest version because the current version is not compatible with Yosemite. After you acknowledge that, it sends you the the App Store where you will be met with a message that states “Item not available”. It also no longer appears in your purchase history so you can’t update it from there either!
    You’re now forced to use the new Photos app.
    Upon it’s it’s first launch, the Photos app will create a new library for itself and migrate/duplicate all Aperture photos into it. Effectively doubling the disc space used by your pictures...
    This behavior apparently does not happen going from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3. In this latter scenario, Photos still uses the Aperture library and creates a smaller Photos library migrating only the metadata it seems. The actual photos are still referenced from the Aperture library and you can continue to use Aperture (3.6) if you choose. The libraries are NOT unified though. Changes made in one will NOT be reflected in the other.
    In other words, you cannot leap-frog update if you want to continue using Aperture.
    The 10.10.2 Combo Update “may” solve this problem but I have not tested it. Here is a link if you’re feeling brave. https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1786?locale=en_US
    Here are some screen-shots.

    I had been trying to download 7.0.1 with Firefox 3.6. Just would NOT download. Well, I opened another browser, Safari, went to the download page, and the download worked. Who knew?
    All is well now.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Image cannot be rendered because Aperture does not support image format

    Dear all,
    I have installed apple Aperture 3.03 and the complete Nick software plug-in selection:
    • Dfine 2.0 for Aperture
    • Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete for Aperture
    • Silver Efex Pro for Aperture
    • Sharpener Pro 3.0 for Aperture
    • Viveza 2 for Aperture
    History
    Until a few days ago the system was running ok / no notable issues on performance. / all pug in seem to run good / no issues. Also
    • I Run OSX10.4/ Aperture 3.03 ( 32Bit mode)
    • My library contains just over 10000 images / approximately 140GB
    • I have recently updated the OSX software update including the security update 2010-005
    • as well as the Snow leopard graphic update 1.0
    • As far as I am aware all updates where automatically recommended by OSX Software update ( no manual intervention).
    • As far as I remember after update the system still was running ok but honestly I can not tell you how many times the Nick Plug in started out of Aperture.
    After all, Several times I continued using the system / still no noticeable problem until the following was happening:
    Problem:
    After creating with "PT gui" a panoramic image File type: "TIF" Pixel size: 5112 × 2556 (13,1 MP) I imputed this file in to Aperture (drag and drop). During the attempt to eddied this file with "Nick Define 2.0" the system was hamming up No response for several minutes from Dfine 2.0 / Aperture" At the end I had to "force quit" the applications.
    After the consequential reopening of Aperture I tried again to eddied images with any Nick software Plug-In but each time Aperture prepares any image previously stored in my Library ti open the Pug in the following Error message appears:
    *"This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format"*
    Currently non of my previously in the library safed images can be opened in a Nick software Plug-In this applies to all file types I have tied " Raw, tif, jpg"
    • I am still able to eddied normally with Aperture ( so far I do not find any other issue)
    • A newly imported Raw image after being taken with my EOS 5D can be edited in the completed Nick software Plug-In selection ( so far I do not find any other issue)
    The following actions have been taken to overcome the issue (all not successful):
    • I restored my Library out of my back Up ( to previous time of event ( no Time machine back up)
    • Uninstallation of all Nick software Plug-In selection
    • Uninstallation Aperture Reinstallation Aperture / Nick software Plug-In selection
    • Repairing the library ( all three possibilities)
    • installation of latest EOS utilitys
    Questions
    • Can you support me to overcome this issue?
    • Have you heard similar issues of Nick user Running the Aperture plug-ins?
    For me it is really strange that even after replacing the the library in my normally not connect back up the problem still exists (this should be not affected by the event as the back up was not done any more) / new imported images are editable with the Plug-In.
    I would be happy if you could support me in this issue.
    Best regards,
    Matthias
    PS: I have reported this issue to Apple (via Aperture feedback) as well as contacted the Nick software support and currently waiting for feedback.

    Dear Ma-Le / All
    I have just had the same problem
    I use
    • Aperture 3.03 with a iMac 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo with all files on external hard disks (mac extended fomat as apple suggests) with referenced masters.
    • Camera Nikon D300, with probably 75,000+ images on 2 hard drives
    • Photoshop CS2 with PhotoTools 2.5 plugin
    This has been working perfectly until yesterday when the system froze when I was using PhotoTools 2.5 with Photoshop CS2 - as a result of which I resorted to a force quit.
    Since then on most of my files it has not been possible to use an external editor.
    A message appears saying: *Editing Error - This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support image format*.
    The problem seems to apply to the attempted use of any external editor (including Noise Ninja)
    The following have each been tried, all unsuccessfully:
    - Using each of Aperture's library 3 first aid options
    - Rebuilding directory using Diskwarrior
    - Checking for virus using Virus Barrier X4
    - Defragmenting library hard disk using TechTool pro
    - Changing permissions settings
    - Using Disk Utility first aid to repair permissions and checking main disk
    - Removing some plist elements when open 'show package contents' of library
    - Setting up a(n almost clean) new system, with newly loaded version of Aperture, with a new library from a vault saved prior to the crash when the problem first occured
    Several things seem to me to be totally bizarre:
    1 - The problem is the same on the other library hard disk which was not in use at the time
    2 - The problem still occurs when a back up vault saved prior to this problem is loaded - using a new hard disk with a new system and a newly reloaded and upgraded Aperture software
    3- The problem seems inconsistent. It appears to affect some photos but not all. Even from the same shoot, some photos can be edited using an external editor, whilst others cannot (but as far as i can tell most of the photos in a particular album seem to be consistently affected)
    4- The only way around it seems to be if I import a new (copy image) from the original master. Then everything works ok, and I can successfully edit that copy image in photoshop / phototools plug-in.
    I am beginning to wonder whether what has been corrupted is Aperture's ability to make copies from the master file which it then uses with the external editor (I have no real idea whether this is correct)
    Does anyone have any ideas or solutions - or has anyone else been suffering a similar problem?
    Eric
    PS: As a professional photographer this problem is a really serious issue for me - and I really don't really want to go to Lightroom or Capture One

  • Aperture app not opening

    I'm not able to open aperture app on my macbook pro after upgrading to mountain lion.. When I try to open it, it askes for serial number, however, when it rejects it. Please advice. I have aperture 2.1.4. Please advice. I'm desperate..

    when it rejects it. Please advice. I have aperture 2.1.4. Please advice.
    Is your Aperture 2 an upgrade from Aperture 1? Then you will need to enter the Aperture 1 serial number as well.
    Make sure, you enter the serial number from an administrator account.
    And check, if you read all letters correctly, some letters like "1" and "I", or "O" and "0" can easily be confused.
    See these support articles:
    Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers
    Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
    You may still have an old file "ProAppsSystemID" in your System Library, that cannot be replaced:
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
    Sometimes Aperture will write this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see ProAppsSystemID there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps.
    Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearing the /tmp directory.

  • Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
    If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
    To remove the image capture preferences:
    If Aperture is running, quit Aperture,  and log off and on again.
    Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/  then hit return.
    In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
    and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture  something .plist  remove them too.
    then try again.
    And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
    ~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
    You can reveal it also  from the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > Go,   then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

  • Aperture will not open-  HELP!!!

    Can anyone help me?  Aperture will not open and I'm worried that I will loose over 35000 photos.  When I try to open Aperture this is the message I get:
    There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/philcammarata/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed?
    Looking forward to hearing from someone.
    Phil

    OK good, version 2 on Mountain Lion would be dicey.
    Do you have backups of the library? If you don;t now would be a good time to make one.
    The first step is to run the Aperture library first aid procedures. Hold down the option (alt) and command keys while starting Aperture. This will open the first aid window. Now select and run Library Repair.
    Once it is done post back the results.
    Good luck

  • Aperture and iPhoto Running Slow Since Upgrading to Yosemite

    IPhoto and Aperture is now running so slow it is nearly unusable.  It has an especially slow startup.  It was running just fine at first.  I had imported some Canon 5D (original) RAW files, and it has been grinding ever since.  I have tried deleting OS preferences and creating a new library.  Neither suggestion helped the situation.  This happened just a couple of days after the Yosemite update.  I have added all of the latest patches.  I am running it on a very recent MacBook pro.
    I rely on this software heavily, so if it is not fixed soon, I will have to switch to Lightroom.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    As kq6up mentioned you should try to repair your iPhoto/Aperture library. You can do this by holding down the option-key and the command-key simultaneously as you are launching iPhoto/Aperture. You will get some options to try out.
    If that doesn't help, I would recommend using iPhoto Library Manager from Fat Cat Software that looks for duplicates and old thumbnails from previous versions of iPhoto. It should be able to fix Aperture libraries as well. I managed to clean up nearly 40 GB off from my 110 GB library using it and with prog99 tip iPhoto runs blazingly fast again.

  • After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.  10.6.7 now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard.

    After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.7. and now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard.  Update Software says I need to do update to 10.6.7 which I can't do because administrator privileges are gone.   I didn't back-up with Time Machine ,BAD, but I have all files backed-up on another hard drive.  Should I just reformat and start over?  Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

    PROBLEM SOLVED! For me at least!
    Apple Support gave me the clue - I had run Migration Assistant, and it had obligingly replaced a system file (/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager) with the equivalent from my old system.
    I reinstalled 10.6.7 using the DVD supplied and all is well.
    The moral is - don't use Migration Assistant.
    Along the way Apple Support provided me with a link to download Combo update 10.6.7: this could not be installed on my iMac.
    Hope this helps.

  • Aperture will not open on 13" Macbook pro

  • Printing from Aperture is not that good. Maybe help needed

    Hi,
    I'm trying to print from Aperture and I can't get a decent print to save my life. I end up sending over to Photoshop where the print comes out looking like it should. (FYI, I am very experienced with printing and calibration and color management, BTW). I can't figure out what is happening wrong. I've got all the settings correct and still can't manage a good print; they come out flat (lacking saturated colors) and much darker than the screen.
    I'm running Leopard 10.5.2 and an Epson 2200.
    What I don't understand is why PS is doing such a good job at printing and Aperture is not.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Antonio

    The closest I could get to a reasonable print is to wack up gamma to at least 1.2 But to be frank I got seriously peed off with the effort and cost of ink that its cost me trying to get something reasonable. So in short I have given up trying to print from aperture.
    FWIW I have used aperture with:
    Epson 360
    Canon ip3000
    Canon ip4000
    Canon IP4000r
    HP All in One
    HP 1280
    I have owned all these and for my love of apple blamed the first three printers for being rubbish printers. but after 6 printers, sorry there is only one place to blame now.
    Luckily printing from other programmes is not too difficult so I don't lose too much sleep over it.

  • Aperture will not open library - permissions not correct -- but they are

    How do I get Aperture to open a library when I get an error message saying the permissions are not correct, but the permissions are correct, and other libraries open fine?
    I was using Aperture current version with a library on an external drive connected via airport extreme. I imported about 15 images to an existing project in that library and was editing the images when Aperture closed suddenly. When I try to reopen the same library I get an error message that says Aperture does not have access to that library because the permissions are not correct. But the permissions are set to everyone read write. Aperture opens other libraries on the same drive with the same permission setting.
    1. I ran disk utility repair permissions -- it says it fixed permissions on my laptop internal drive, but disk utility does not recognize the external drive so apparently it did nothing on that drive. Same error message on that library.
    2. I deleted user name >> Library >> Preferences >> com.apple.Aperture.plist and tried opening the library again. Same error message.
    3. I tried rebuilding the library using control command Aperture. Same error message.
    4. I used "show package contents" on that library and moved the project I had been working on when Aperture crashed to another drive and created a new library and imported the project successfully. Works.
    I read through existing topics and found suggestions like 1-4 but none work for me.
    I would be grateful for any help!
    Thanks.

    Please tell me you aren't trying to do this wirelessly!?!
    If you're wired to the Airport Extreme, that's better, but forget about running a remote Aperture library on a wireless connection! Even wireless 802.11n isn't fast enough, though I'm sure someone will argue that.
    Still, the Airport Extreme only has a USB interface, which is painfully slow! Firewire 800 is supported on all the new MacBook Pros and on the 17" "gen1" MacBook Pros. I'd highly recommend a FireWire 800 external hard drive or even a eSATA interface if you're running Aperture libraries remotely!!
    Depending on your total storage needs, just replace your internal MacBook Pro's hard drive. I've replaced a few in the past couple of weeks in some MacBook Pros to the 320GB WD Scorpio drive. Also buy a cheap (~$20) external USB enclosure for your old hard drive to repurpose your old internal drive and aid the restoration of your data. Next install the drives and use Migration Assistant to restore your data to precisely where you were before the hard drive upgrade. Pretty easy except for the actual install of the hard drive in the MacBook Pro, which can be tricky and requires special Torx tools; certainly more complicated than the standard MacBooks. Unless you know what you are doing here, pay someone skilled to do this for you.
    Seriously, I'm sure part of your problem is the lousy transfer speeds for Aperture trying to read data, causing data corruption, especially when you force quit so often.

  • Aperture will not start anymore

    I bought and installed Aperture 3 over the App Store.
    Initial install and running the program was no problem.
    Upon launch now, the application will not start, reporting that "Aperture cannot be opened due to a problem". 
    The message also says I may need to re-install the software. Well how?
    I think this started to happen after I got my iPad2 and selected to sync photos from Aperture, but I am not sure about that.
    Even a reboot and with no other started applications, Aperture will not open.
    I am running a Mac Mini Server (I bought it new in december 2010 in the Apple Store), running OS X server 10.6.7

  • Aperture will not retain serial number when quitting,

    I have A NSF version from 09, it has worked all this time until I had to rebuild my drive the old fashion way, I can not find an Aperture System ID on my new drive, I do have the serial number still, but no disc.
    What do I need to do.

    How did you transfer Aperture to your new drive? If you did not reinstall from the CD, try if reinstalling Aperture will help. Since you do no longer have the CD, download the Trial installer. You can unlock it with your serial number.
    Download it here: Aperture 3.1 Trial
    After running the Trial installer go immediately to Software update in the -menu, and only after updating to the most recent version launch Aperture and enter your registration code to unlock the Trial.  Then launch it by double clicking your Aperture Library or clicking the Aperture icon. Run the installer from an administrator account.
