Aperture 2 won't run

Hi,
I want to try Aperture 2, but when I start Aperture, it immediately quits. I tried several things, from deleting Aperture 2 and reinstalling it, to downloading the trial again. Nothing helped. Anybody has the same problems?
Thanks, toby

  • Aperture won't run on my new 2.0GHz MacBook Pro

    I'd been using Aperture on a Powerbook G4 1.25GHz with 1Gb RAM. It did some things slowly, but otherwise it worked very well.
    Imagine my surprise when I loaded it onto my new MacBook Pro 2.0GHz with 1Gb RAM, and tried to open it and got a message that this computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run Aperture!
    Do I need to do something special when installing it?
    Other apps that run under Rosetta, like Illustrator CS2, start up pretty slowly on the MBP, but at least they run.
    Thanks for any help.

    Out of interest - how do intend to cope with storage with this type of machine? There are currently no new card slot SATA or Firewire 800 adapters available and given that backup operations are going to be slow (minimum impact) or in the event of big library you will be hampered by the lack of fast external disk support (far more serious) to actually use your library!
    I have found running different libraries on portable and desktop far too complicated and I wonder apart from the hardware considerations how people handle this situation.

  • Aperture won't run on 10.5.8 Mac Air

    I love Aperture and use it on my home Mac and MAc Book Pro. But it won't start up on Mac Book Air? Should I reload?

    OK; so here is the story, the newly loaded Aperture didn't work so I placed it in trash; I then dragged the one I previously had on the machine and that I had put to trash before back into my applications file - and it works... strange....

  • Aperture won't run

    Aperture 3 (an upgrade from 2) crashed last night while importing (by reference) photos from an external hard drive. Now I cannot restart it, even after restarting my computer. Very frustrating and very unhappy here.

    I can't get Aperture to run either. I'm trying to import an iPhoto library. It seemed to import fine at first. Then about half way through processing it hangs up. I've tried to pause the task, cancel the task, even let it run over the weekend. It looks so promising and looks like it would be an easy buy if it actually worked!

  • System crash, now aperture won't run

    I just bought aperture yesterday. While testing tethered shooting today, it crashed the entire system. The entire screen darkened and I got a message telling me to hold down the power key for a restart.
    After reboot, now aperture starts up, displays the interface, then the spinning beach ball comes up and that's all she wrote. No indication of what's wrong.
    Could the crash have corrupted the database? Is there a list of files to remove for complete and total removal of aperture so I can reinstall?
    Cliff

    That sounds like a "Kernel Panic".
    That should not have happened in the first place.
    I'd go through all the motions: Software Update, repair permissions etc to make sure that the system itself is stable.
    Do you have any 3rd party/generic RAM?
    The easiest way to remove the Application is AppZapper, but you can do it manually.
    It's easier for you to spotlight Aperture than to list all the places Aperture puts files. Just be sure your spotlight preferences are set to search everywhere.

  • Aperture import plug-in won't run.  After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out.  Any thoughts?

    Aperture import plug-in won't run.  After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out.  Any thoughts?

    Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out.  My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
    The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address.  In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive.  (Can usually avoid permissions issues.)

  • Aperture won't update to 3.6 under Yosemite

    I updated my computer this evening to Yosemite, and all of a sudden Aperture does not work.  So, I see that there is an update available for Yosemite compatibilty, and when I go to update, I get the following error:  And this was a legit copy of Aperture that I bought way back when 3 came out (actually it was an upgrade from v2)... Any ideas?

    OK, here is the solution that worked for me... a total pain in the rear, but hey it worked and I'm back in business...
    - Download the latest version of OSX (prior to Yosemite) that you can from the App Store (once it downloads it will tell you it can't install, that's ok, we just need the installer)
    - Download and install VMWare Fusion from www.vmware.com (they have a free thirty day trial).
    - Once VMWare is installed, it will open up a wizard for creating a new Virtual Machine. Choose "Install from a Disc or Image" and then in the next screen, choose "Use another disc or image" at the bottom of the screen, then navigate to the "Install OS X Mavericks" which is now in your Applications folder.
    - Once you have chosen this and clicked next through the next few wizard screens (asking where you will place the VM, etc) you will begin the MAC install on the Virtual Machine which takes about 30 mins or so.  Once it is up I logged in with my apple id that I am using on my main machine (we are trying to map our aperture license to our apple id)
    - Go grab a coffee, beer, glass of whiskey and wait.
    - Once the install is complete and you are up and running on your Virtual Machine with Mavericks (which is the version i installed, but previous versions may work as well), now it is time to install Aperture on your Virtual Machine... You may have to map your CD drive with the installation media to the VM... Go to the Virtual Machine Menu, then select CD/DVD and then "Connect CD/DVD".
    - Once Aperture is installed on your virtual machine, now go to the app store in the VM... Aperture won't be listed as an application to update "surprise", but if you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see a link for Incompatible software, click it and Aperture will show up... Now click Aperture in that list and it should bring you to the Aperture product page... on this page click "Update".  It will then tell you that 3.6 is not available to run on your operating system, but it can install the latest possible version of the application.  Confirm this and let it update.
    - I opened aperture on the VM, but not sure that this is necessary.
    - On your Yosemite installation, now go to the updates in the App Store and attempt to update Aperture... once I had updated the Aperture on my Virtual Machine, I was now magically able to update the Aperture on my Yosemite installation and it works (at first the icon on my tray didn't update, but clicking on it brought Aperture back up again!)
    I hope this helps... this really put a scare in me last night and I've been trying to find a solution... I didn't want to roll back to a prior version of OSX just because I couldn't access my 500+GB of photos :-)

  • Aperture won't open anymore.

    This is going to be a long one. I don't know what I did wrong.
    I have a trial version of aperture. I don't know if that means that it will cease to work after a period of time or what. I'm not proud to say that I downloaded it from a torrent site. Okay, shoot me! Maybe it's okay because it was a trial version.
    So here is what is going on. Yesterday the CF card from my camera wouldn't load into my computer, and I put it back into the camera and there was nothing on it. Very strange as when I was taking the shots I could see them on my LCD on the camera.
    So for all intents and purposes it is empty. I downloaded Untrasher to try and recover the pics on the card. In the download process of the Untrasher, I had to put a copy of it onto an external hard drive. Which I did. And again I'm not sure of any of this because I don't know what I'm doing.
    Untrasher recovered some pics on the CF card, but they were ones that had been purposely deleted when aperture asked if I wanted to delete and eject the card from previous download. So Untrasher works pretty good as it recorvered some old stuff. It didn't however recover the stuff I wanted.
    So now it is taking up 16 gigs on my external drive. Maybe it is not taking up that space because it is a copy and there is nothing on there, but I JUST DON'T KNOW, AS I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. I'm not yelling, just emphasizing.
    Now I cannot put the "Digicam .dmg" which is what is on my external drive, in the trash. I get an error message saying an error occurred and I can't continue. Error # 1407. What ever that is.
    And now Aperture won't open either. I just get the spinning beach ball. I found the original download folder for aperture and re-installed it and the new one won't open either. Have these expired? Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
    And how can I put this Digicam .dmg in the trash and get rid of it. It just won't go.
    Thank you for any help.

    There's a good chance that the version of Aperture you downloaded isn't legit.  Same thing for the Digicam clone .dmg you downloaded.  These could be filled with programs that could damage your HD and files.
    Fist things first - since you're running Snow Leopard, the App Store version of Aperture won't work as it will only work on either Lion or Mountain Lion.  You'll need to decide if you want to upgrade to ML first.  You're alternative is to BUY the retail version of Aperture from someplace like Amazon.
    My gut level feeling is that the software you downloaded may have damaged your OS.  My personal recommendation would be to do a clean install of Snow Leopard (after you manually copy all of your data to an external drive that doesn't have any of the crap you downloaded on it).
    If you need a good data rescue program, Data Rescue 3 is probably the best.  Yes, it's expensive, but it's saved my butt multiple times (even recovering data from a WinDoze drive).
    One more thing...quit downloading stuff from torrent sites!  Buy it legit!

  • Aperture won't read DNG files

    I'm sure there's a simple solution I've missed, but Aperture 3 won't open DNG files converted from Olympus RAW (ORF). Any suggestions?
    Brian

    Aperture 3.5.1 and the camera is the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
    And yes, Aperture will convert the RAW/ORF files but the devil is in the details. And since you asked (sort of), here are the details:
    I own and have happily used Photoshop CS4 for the layered compositing I like to do, but it won't support ORF files
    I tried importing/converting them in Aperture then editing in PS4 ... but Aperture 3 and PS4 don't play together well, so many come back as "unsupported file format"
    Apple can't fix the problem and Adobe no longer supports PS4... put another way, Apple can't do anythig but they care, and Adobe could do everything but they don't care
    It got worse when I upgraded to Mavericks, so to get around that I had to upgrade to Photoshop CC and pay the monthly "rental"
    Aperture and Photoshop now work, but the demands of running them both are beyond my aging iMac that can't be upgraded, so I have to buy a new one, but the monthly fee (which everybody assumes will only go up in cost)  + purchase of a new iMac for a guy on a fixed income are too much
    So, I thought if I used DNG to convert the ORF files I could import them into Aperture for all the basics and organization, then use PS4 for the compositing... but Aperture won't read the DNG conversions.
    And that, as the man used to say, is the name of that tune,
    Brian

  • Help - Aperture won't open

    Help - Aperture won't open because graphics card does not meet minimum standard - Mac is only 4 yrs old- suggestions?

    I have a 2009 21.5 iMac that runs Aperture 3.4.3 (the latest) so I would be very surprised if a 2009 24in iMac could not run it.
    Is this a new install? Are you upgrading Aperture from an earlier version? Has Aperture (any version) ever run on this system?
    I would reboot just to be sure that somehow you haven't gotten into safe mode and then try Aperture again. If it fails open the console logs (/Applications/Utilities/Console) and look to see if anything concerning Aperture of the graphics card is being logged.

  • Aperture won't let me specify paper type

    I am running Aperture 2.1.4 with OS 10.6.2.
    When I try to print to either my Canon MP460 or my Canon Pixma iP4000 I have no option to select media type.
    Under "Printer Selection" in the appropriate portion of the print dialog window I can select between the two printers, set paper size, orientation, Color Sync profile black point compensation, etc. The "calibrate" button is darkened.
    When I click "print settings" (beneath the printer name), a drop down appears with only the following options: cover page, scheduler, or summary. Nothing else.
    If I click "print", the file is sent right to the printer. Nowhere am I asked to specify the paper type.
    If I recall correctly, most programs provide for a variety of printer-specific options before sending a file to the printer. When I print from iPhoto, there are many options, including a drop down menu to specify which Canon paper I am using (and options for color management, etc.)
    I have noticed a similar issue when printing from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, but I figured this was an Adobe quirk. Now I'm thinking there might be a problem with the Canon printer drivers or OS X.
    Please . . . any help is greatly, greatly appreciated. My prints look awful and I think it might be because the printer and computer have no idea what paper is being used.

    OK, I found my problem; I hope this helps any others that find this thread and are having this problem...
    My Canon IP4300 printer was connected by USB to a PowerMac G5 and was being shared via Bonjour over my wireless network to my MBP. When I connected the printer to the MBP directly, it now shows it's using the latest Canon drivers (10.26.1.0) and the print dialogue box setting options (incl. paper type) have re-appeared. Problem solved.
    The PowerMac G5 is running Leopard and using older Canon drivers (5.8.3). Apparently, using Bonjour printer sharing, the print drivers in use are controlled solely by the remote host machine, so the print drivers installed on the local SL machine were irrelevant, yet the print dialogue is controlled by the local OS.
    Too bad SL won't run on my old trusty G5

  • What won't run in Rosetta?

    Hi,
    What type of Apps will not run in Rosetta?
    Michael

    For one, Apple's own Pro software will not run on these computers, despite the fact that they are using Final Cut Pro as a benchmark on the iMac/MacBook product pages. Final Cut Pro or Express, DVD Studio Pro, Logic, Logic Express, Aperture... you'll have to wait until the Universal Binaries come out (supposedly in March), and then you'll have to pay to "upgrade."
    I can't believe they are using benchmarks from pieces of software that won't run on these machines (yet) to sell them. Someone who didn't do his research would think these machines would be great for Final Cut, only to find out they don't run them, period.

  • CS3 installs but won't run

    Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
    My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
    When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
    I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
    I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
    I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
    I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
    The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
    We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
    So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
    errrrr
    Anybody have any clues on this?

    Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
    I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
    And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
    Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
    Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
    Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
    Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
    I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
    The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
    I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
    They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
    The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
    The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
    Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
    And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
    Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
    Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
    Not sure what my next move is.

  • How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?

    Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
    This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
    Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
           Tags (edit): none (add)  
    Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
    I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
    So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
    P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??

    Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).

  • Action steps that won't run correctly in PSE 7/8/9 (but did in 4 and 6)

    I have a wonderful action that was written to work in PSE 3/4/6.  It won't run in PSE 7/8/9.  After fooling around for a while, I think I understand why.  Adobe changed the way Adjustment Layers are handled.  In earlier versions of Photoshop and Elements, Adjustment Layers threw up a modal dialog box.  That changed so that Adjustment Layers now appear in the Palette Bin as a palette.
    Here a sample of some of the action steps that won't work correctly:
    Make adjustment layer
    Using: adjustment layer
    Type: levels
    Set Selection
    To: none
    Set current layer
    To: layer
    Name:  “Adjustment 1”
    Set current layer
    To: layer
    Mode: luminosity
    Stop
    Message:  “Move gray slider left”
    With Continue
    Set current adjustment layer
    To: levels
    In earlier versions of PS and PSE, the way these steps would work is that a new adjustment layer would be created, the dialog box giving the instruction would open, it would be dismissed by clicking "Continue," and then the "Set current adjustment layer to: Levels" would generate a model adjustment layer dialog box would open up which would let one make the adjustment.
    In newer versions, since Adjustment Layers are handled in the Palette Bin, after dismissing the instructions, the action doesn't stop to allow the user to make change the sliders on the adjustment layer.
    The action runs perfectly in CS4 and CS5 and throws up the levels adjustment modal box as it did in PSE 4 and PSE 6, but the action doesn't throw the modal box in PSE 7/8/9
    Does anyone know of a way to alter the action steps to allow the action to stop to allow the adjustment and then to resume again?

    Adding a new levels adjustment layer on top of the Midtone contrast layer
    should work, just use a clipping mask to restrict the adjustments to the
    areas of the levels adjustment layer below. The histogram will be different, but
    actually testing the action is really the only way to know if that makes any difference.
    Replacing the levels adjustment layer is another option, though it requires a few more steps.
    The following assumes when the action gets to this point,
    the Midtone contrast adjustment layer is the active (selected) layer.
    To record this part of the action:
    1. Duplicate current channel (in the channels panel. drag the Midtone contrast mask
        down to the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the channels panel)
    2. Ctrl+click on the newly created channel (Midtone contrast mask copy)
        This loads the selection of that channel.
    3. Drag the new channel (midtone contrast mask copy) to the trash icon at the bottom
       of the channels panel.
    4. Back in the layers panel, delete the Midtone Contrast adjustment layer.
    5. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
        This creates a new levels adjustment layer using the selection loaded from
        the duplicated channel and opens the levels dialog.
    To load the RGB (composite) as a selection, Ctrl+click on the rgb in the channels panel
    and the same is true for the red, green and blue channels.
    With layer masks, elements doesn't seem to want to load them as selections in actions,
    so that's the reason for the action steps above.

  • CS2 won't run

    CS2 won't run, says activation code no longer usable. Been running win7 on this system 3 years. Adobe says it won't activate in win7. Well, it did, and ran just fine. what's up?

    I assume when you say "Adobe says it won't activate in win7" that you talked to customer support....
    A drive change could trigger the need for reactivation.  Did you tell them that you're running from a mirrored drive?
    It sounds to me that they're being aggressive about trying to get you to upgrade when they should still be supporting you with active maintenance of their activation database.
    But unfortunately if you can't get them to adjust their database you're out of luck.
