Aperture 2 upgrade install hanging up

I'm trying to upgrade from Aperture version 1.5 to 2.1. I have a 1 yr old iMAC 2.4 Ghz, 4 GB RAM.
During the install of the 2.1 software, I got a message that the software was installed successfully. The install then said it would update the library. The pulsing grey bar and progress report says it is at step 1 of 3 and 20% complete. It has been this way for several hours. I have only about 8,000 images on this computer. I expected the process might take a while, but it seems stuck. I'm worried that if I try to force quit during a library update, I might corrupt the library.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

I didn't receive any replies from the discussion board but did the following to solve the problem:
1. Force quit Aperture.
2. Restarted Aperture.
Aperture then completed the update within a few minutes. No library files seem to have been corrupted by the hang up.
Looks like I'm back in business.
All this is a good reminder to have all photos backed up all the time and especially before a software update just in case....

PS CS4 upgrade install hangs while checking system profile

System is a Core 2 Duo 6700 with 4GB, XP2 Pro SP3.
Installing PS CS4 upgrade over CS3.
Downloaded file unpacks OK, but when running Setup the Checking System Profile bar gets to about 90% the PS Setup window flashes up for barely a second, then the install hangs, ie no further progress with the Checking System Profile (left if for 20 mins or so).
I've downloaded and run a new CS4 upgrade file from Adobe store. No change.
I've added SP3 (was on SP2), no change.
Any one seen this or have any ideas?
Thanks!

@Ender
I've been dragging through the installer mud for CS4 ever since a sunny summer day in 2007, so I clearly know some of that stuff... ;-) And sorry to say so, it's simply not the off-screen dialog problem in most of these cases (which a look at the installer logs would very likely confirm). We can discuss this further off-list, if you feel like it, so shoot me a mail to mylenium|-|at|-|mylenium.de. I sure would like to get to know some of the Photoshop-Aliens a bit better (as someone rooted in the video, compositing and 3D world) :-D
@Mike
Simply move them all out of the way or rename them and see what happens. The installer will create the folders again if needed and if e.g. you still need to run CS3, simply renaming/moving them back to their original state will still work (as long as you don't touch any folders related to licensing or shared core functions such as Anchor Service or Linguistics). If you're not feeling adventurous, then call support, they will provide you with more detailed explanations and hold your hand ;-)

Windows XP CS4 Upgrade Install hangs at Checking System Profile...

Problem: When installing from DVDs, the "Checking System Profile..." progress bar makes it to 90%, then hangs, causing you to abort using Task Manager. Changing startup and services settings, or disabling antivirus software doesn't help.
Here's what got me past the hang.
My guess is that it's a DVD player issue. These install disks thrash like crazy during installation. I did this:
1. Copy the "Application 1" disc contents to a folder on your hard drive then run setup.exe from the folder the same as you would from the DVD (see Adobe install instructions).
2. The "Checking System Profile..." progress bar completes and gets you to the serial number entry page.
3. Enter your serial number and let Disc 1 install from your hard drive.
4. When the installer asks for Disc 2 in the c:\ drive (which can't be done), cancel the installation. You'll get some troubleshooting information and links that you may find interesting. Exit the installer.
5. NOW try to install Disc 1 from your DVD drive. Again you get "Checking System Profile...", but since you've already entered your serial number, you get the install window for installing or reinstalling CS4 components. Check the programs that you want to install, then proceed. It's working for me so far.
Good luck,
J.

Repy to Jeff K (number 1 topic see top of page):
Your method worked for me THANK YOU FOR POSTING YOU ARE A GODSEND!
This is what I did to make it work:
1) Copied contents from App1 & App2 DVD's. (can take a while, good time to get a cuppa coffee!)
2) Pasted them into separate folders on my hard drive (named them Adobe CS4 App1 & Adobe CS4 App2
3) Ran the App1 setup.exe program from the Hard drive and in a few minutes the serial number page appeared (which didn't appear in the many attempts I have done this weekend so I knew this was working well)
4) Setup goes through the process as you would expect.
FYI:
- The virus & firewall did not affect the installation
- I did use the cs4cleaner but only found 'Adobe Setup' that was linked to anything on my system
- I did all other 'Adobe support suggested' work arounds, but none worked for me
- Jeffs suggestion of copying files to Hard drive is the only one that has worked
- Some suggestions say to remove flash player...don't bother because it's required for other programs and it gets upgraded with the install anyway so no need to uninstall. it caused problems for my HP Officejet 8500 all in one when i did uninstall it...save yourself the extra issues.
- Dual monitors and graphics cards aren't the issue so don't change any settings there, i have dual monitors didn't create the issue for me.
I'm running XP SP3 on PC with a fresh install of CS4 (not an upgrade).
hope this helps

I was having the same problem, unable to find my trash can. I did everythnig suggested in this post to no avail. Then I discovered if you hover to the far right of RECENT you will see either "Show" or "Hide" "Show" reveals the following, including the trash. I'm sheepish that the solution was so easy but delighted to report that after viewing AND emptying my trash, I gained 55 GB on my HD.

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.

Can not find a library in Aperture after upgrading to Mavericks?

I upgraded my Aperture to 3.5 on Mavericks. Since I have updated my Aperture, I cannot open my second Library "Aperture Library"
This is what it happens:
I can not find my "Aperture Library" photos, and when I try to switch between the library (File>Switch Libaries>"Aperture Library" this comes up:
When I click on relaunch:Then when I click on "Aperture Library" and press chose, a 3 second process occurs and Aperture returns back to where it was when it was opened. The "Aperture Library" doesn't appear anywhere.
When I go to Altinoz (My Mac) > Pictures > Aperture Library:
When I try to open the Aperture Library folder in My Mac > Pictures > Aperture Library
Do you want to import this library to Aperture (which was already in the old verison of Aperture)
An error comes up:
The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again.
I would really appreciate your help on helping me find "Aperture Library" Photos I have, since the upgrading to Mavericks really made annoying problems to me.

It seems to me that you need Aperture 3.2.4 to open your library.
If you have it then do the following:
Uninstall Aperture 3.5
Install Aperture 3.2.4
Start Aperture and verify that you can access your library
Update to Aperture 3.4.5
Start Aperture and verify that you can access your library
At the end update to Aperture 3.5 and upgrade your library
If you don't have the older versions, maybe try to open the library in iPhoto. Does that work?

OUI patch install hangs, files being used by another application

Hi when a patch install hangs, and the OUI error message is that files needing to be reinstalled are being used by another application, how can you identify which files or processes are responsible so that they can be shut down? All normal Oracle services and DTC are shut down already.
This is patch 6810189 upgrade to 10.2.0.4 (from 10.2.0.3) which includes the April CPU on a Win32 server.

Please check any oracle service is still on ..
need to shutdown listener/oracle service .. and other db service belongs to Oracle.
You can download windows process explorer and check for any oracle process and kill those and then apply CPU

64 bit OEL install hangs at installing dogtail in OVM 2.2

I recently upgraded my server to OVM 2.2 and swapped out the dual core AMDs to quad core AMDs at the same time.
Since then I have been unable to create any 64 bit OEL servers. In every instance the install hangs when Installing dogtail-0.6.1-2.el5.noarch
This used to work at 2.1.5 and I can deploy the existing templates, but they are OEL 5.3.

2 new updates
1) I get the same errors when trying a command line install
2) I can successfully create fully virtualised VMs
So if all else fails I can create fully virtualised VMs and then convert them, which is a bit of a pain but will at least give me working templates.

Can Aperture 3 upgrade read/convert v1.5.6 library?

In the process of migrating apps/files from G5 to Mac Pro. Unfortunately, my trusty version of Aperture 1.5.6 will not run on the Mac Pro forcing me to upgrade to v3. I have the original Aperture library and two backups, my question is when I go to install the Aperture 3 upgrade and tell it to read/convert the existing Aperture library will it be able to? Thanks.

I think it should and will. My advice to you would be to copy the Ap Library to a separate drive in your Mac Pro with lots and lots of free space. Then control-click on that (or open A3 and use File/Open), and choose A3 to open it, and be prepared to wait for several hours, depending upon the size of your library.
Btw, I use Managed files, but have my Aperture Library on a separate hard drive at all times. Seemed the thing to do, taking a cue from Final Cut where you are always advised to have your video assets on a different drive from the boot drive.

Bought Aperture 3 Upgrade. Won't accept my Serial Number from Aperture 2...

I have Aperture 2 and my Aperture 3 Upgrade will not accept the serial number no matter how many times I try it. Please help. Why the he11 doesn't Apple have easy contact numbers for situations like this?
Thanks.

I assume you are entering the characters correctly with all letters in uppercase and all dashes included. If so, I’d call Apple.
By the way, before I upgraded, I renamed the version 2 Aperture program Aperture 2.1.4. This way when I installed my upgrade it created a new version 3 Aperture program, “Aperture”. I wonder if following this technique will get around your problem with the version 2 serial number.

Aperture library upgrade lost pictures

Hello,
I seem to be stuck with no way of getting my Aperture library back. I've upgraded to aperture 3.2, but everytime that I try to upgrade a library, I lose all the photos. What I'm left with is a bunch of blank thumnails and images that show a small box with an arrow poping out. If I ask aperture to find the file in finder it says that the hard drive is offline (same device name as current hard drive). I'm really stumped as to what to do. I've tried to rebuild the libraries, delete preference files for aperture, rebuild thumnails/previews, but nothing seems to improve the situation.
My setup:
Libraries are linked to files in folders, they don't move or copy the files. I have a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard, and aperture 3.2 installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I need to get at some wedding photos I took.
Cheers,

Libraries are linked to files in folders, they don't move or copy the files.
You'll need to explain this in more detail.

OSX Server 3 upgrade install works, clean install has mail servers problems.

I decidied to be cautious and do a prelminary upgrade install from server version 2 to verion 3 rather than a fresh install or Mavericks and Server 3 . That went without a hitch and so I then decided to do fresh install. I have found that when i do a fresh install, the mail server component seems to be in an endless loop of updating virus definitions.
After doing a fresh install twice and experienceing the same problem, I attempted to locate the cause which appears to be that postfix is unable to communicate with amavisd over the loopback interface and so the mail server fails to start or more precisely starts momentarily and then falls back to a message about updating virus definitions. This type of problem seems to have occured in previous server versions but I am unable to find any sort of definitive fix.
Has anyone experienced this problem or have any ideas how to fix it.

I have been an ardent user of aperture for years now and got used to the great workflow. Ever since version 1 I have been enjoying working with aperture. It is the workflow that kept me from changing.
I got a new MacPro 12 GB ram, 4TB HDD my library mostly indexed files sits on a raided 2TB for maximum of comfort. I did this in an effort to keep me from writing the posts I writing lately. I do not have the time rally to do this but reality is something different.
Today I am working on a job I need to finish quickly and in aperture workflow manner. So I switched to full screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen mode and after pressing 'H' for the HUD my screen started flickering. please look at the video I posted in my flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawas/4719742585/
Now this is the second time this happened in a short time after I got a new mac and upgraded to 10.6.4! After the screen had jammed up : http://gallery.me.com/masuwa/100103 I needed to hard boot my mac I am getting nervous!

I've lost aperture after upgrading to maverick, common apple this is my livelihood.

i've lost access to aperture after upgrading to maverick, my livelyhood is tied up to aperure let alone all of my photographs for clients, come on apple don't do this again.

I tried the link leonieDFsent (http://support.apple.com/downloads/) and was unsuccessful after several attempts at the launching of the applications after download. Not sure why?,
christopherakapaul, the downloads page has update installers, not stand alone applications.
Any Aperture version you download from the Support page will have to run and to install the update to Aperture. For this to work, you need to have an older Aperture version in the Applications folder, and Mavericks must allow the installer to run. For some installers the security&priivacy settings in the System preferences need to be disabled.
