Aperture askes for Serial after update (3.2)

Hi Guys, I just updated my Aperture to 3.2 and now every time I open it, it askes for a Serial number. Here's the problem:
I don't have one! Because I bought the App in the App Store, and normally there you don't get a Serial! Can anyone help me??

Hi
Maybe this could help you: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16350457#16350457

Aperture asks for serial after restart

After installing Aperture on my new Mac from a Time Machine backup, Aperture asks for the serial number every time I restart my computer. I have to enter both the upgrade number and the original number every time, so this is a bit frustrating. So long I don't restart, I can quit Aperture and open it without any problems. I originally purchased Aperture 2 back in 2009 I think, and I don't have the original CD anymore. I have now upgraded to the newest version, but I can not re-download it from the App Store.
After some googling I have tried to delete the ProAppsSystemID file and repaired permissions without any help.

You can download a copy of Aperture from Aperture 3 Trail and authorize it with the serial numbers you have. Doing an install rather then a migrate usually fixes this problem.
Once you download and install Aperture make sure you run software update to get Aperture up to the current version before you run it.

I can't open Aperture 1.5.6 after updating to 10.6.8/Snow Leopard

I can't open Aperture 1.5.6 after updating to my mac10.6.8/Snow Leopard. What should I do. I don't want to lose all my pictures.

This may sound like I am repeating Allan Eckerts advice, but what he wrote has spelling errors that seems confusing or contradictory.

As you did not backup your photos now at least copy the Aperture Library to an external device like a Hard drive or USB.
I don't know if Aperture 2 is still available for purchase, as Apple tends to discard older software so quickly.
Aperture 3 is now the latest,
Repost in the Aperture forum, for details on how you can best upgrade your Mac 10.6.8 OS to an Aperture version that will be able to rebuild your old library.

Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free? Please help me.

stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

HT201210 been trying to restore ipod touch for days after updating itunes. keep getting error #9. Tried it on 2 computers, with vista + XP. tried all the solutions posted. nothing is working. Thanks Apple. Didn't have this problem before updating itunes!

Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Cloud keeps asking for serial after login, photooshop cc, flash builder, flash pro cc

I can't use my cloud product because it's asking for a serial, after I login with an active adobe account, assigned to a cloud seat. The Cloud account holds many seats bought few month ago. From the start, random computers/account will ask for serial and never activate.
It's really bothering hearing that adobe is forcing everybody on cloud when they can't even make the activation work everywhere, without displaying any message or reason why.
The support tel number is a Joke :
800 443 81 58
In the country I'm living in, the national operator, the 2nd cable tel operator, the 2nd mobile phone operator won't accept this number, it doesn't even ring.
Weirdly when I sent the money transfer, from this country, it worked fine the first time.
Please inform me why my account won't activate and give me a solution

Photoshop CS6 after being replaced with CC and only after applying its first update worked.
Here, not any message said that this cloud account was compatible only with CC when i didn't event know photoshop cc existed.
Flash was installed in french, as a trial.
Here is a trace of the network activity on the same computer where flash cc won't activate I captured before, during and after the refusal of cloud on my account. As you can see, the column result has only success.
How come the server anwser no and no message says why?
Now I get the big picture, there are 20 reasons why it probably won't work, Adobe won't say why at any moment , it's good luck for himself. The worse part is that it is the only business model remaining and it's not refined enough to let the client know what's happening.
If I cant to keep CS6, will the activation fail and not event tell me a new version MUST be downloaded and installed or if the language is not allowed for my account?

Getting iWork apps back for free after updating to ios8

After updating to ios8 I lost all of my iWork apps. Now I have to pay money to get them back. I got them for free after buying the iPad mini retina last year and do not understand why now I have to pay money to get those back. I looked at the purchased section in the apps store but they don't show up there even if I had those apps before my iOS 8 update. Can somebody help me out with this? And am I missing something?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1338 Aperture will not open after update? What do I do?

Aperture will not open after I updated. What do I do?

Mgoss, quit the installer or App Store/Software Update (depending on what you're using to update) and restart your machine. With Aperture closed, drag the Aperture application to the trash, then reinstall Aperture from your original media and, if necessary, update again.

Purchased ringtone for iphone5 after updated unable to find

Purchased ringtone for iphone 5 after updated unable to find on iphone or computer under tones...any suggestions?

Did you transfer it to your computer?
Did you back up your computer?

I cannot power charge for iP4s after update iOs 8

I have used iPhone 4s 16GB after I update iOs7 I cannot charge battery.
I cannot charge power when iP running , I have to close iP then plug adapter ,the power in.
The staff of iStudio recommend me to update iOs 8 but I cannot charge iP by adapter after update iOs8.
Now I can charge by USB via my computer but iTune cannot connect with my device.
Could you have any recommendation?

Same here. Issue is on both Apple TV's and iphone. Resetting everything did not fix the issue. Rebooting modem did not fix the issue. PLEASE FIX NOW. Take the thousands of dollars I've spent on movies, music & hardware and at least update the services page to accurately show that iTunes Store is indeed having issues! Thanks!

Aperture asks for serial number

I upgraded to 3.4.5 a while ago and EVERY time my system reboots I need to type in my serial number for Aperture...this is very annoying. Does anybody have an easy fix for this?
Thanks,

it is unusual, that this happens after an update of Aperture - typically we are seeing this problem after migrating Aperture from a different Mac.
Are you entering the serial number from an administrator account? If not, try to sign into an admin account to enter the serial number. Aperture seems to have problems to write the serial number to the system library. If it forgets the registration key, when you shut down the system, the registration code is probably written to a temporary directory and erased when rebooting.
Look at the temporary directory /tmp:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
Go > Go to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see a file 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 asking for serial number

Aperture keeps prompting for a serial number when I open it. I saw this listed as a bug fix in software updates on the ap store, but my software is up to date. How do I even find my serial number since I downloaded it from the ap store? Also, in the future, how do I uninstall an ap? Thanks so much for your help.
Jill

When and how did this start? After you made an update? Did you update from the App Store or download an installer from the support page?
How do I even find my serial number since I downloaded it from the ap store?
Jill, Aperture from the App Store does not have a serial number. If it is asking for one, your installation is buggy.
I'd recommend to reinstall Aperture from the AppStore.
Back up your computer, if you do not have a current backup.
Remove the Aperture application from the "Applications" folder to the Trash.
Sign into the AppStore and go to the "Purchased" tab. Download Aperture again and let it install.
Does it work now?
Also, in the future, how do I uninstall an ap?
That depend on the application. Applications, that are coming with an installer, usually also have an uninstaller. Use that to uninstall.
Other Applications, that you install by dragging them to the Applications folder, can be uninstalled by simply deleting them.
The documentation of each app should tell you, where the data reside, that also need to be uninstalled.

Aperture asks for serial number on each restart my mac

Everytime I restart my macbook pro, Aperture asks me to enter my serial number. I first have to enter my serial number for Aperture 3 upgrade. And then I have to enter my serial number for Aperture 2. After that Aperture works fine until I restart the computer at which time Aperture again asks me to enter this information.
Anyone know why it keeps doing this and why it can't remember my serial numbers? This problem has occurred ever since I moved over to the macbook pro 2011 and dragged my aperture icon over to my new computer.
thanks for any help!

I didn't use migration assistant (not even sure what that is). I basically copied over the aperture application from my old computer to my new comuter - set the settings to be the same, and copied over my aperture libraries as well. It launched fine once I entered my serial number - but keeps asking for it everytime I restart.
I don't have the aperture disk anymore so if I want to restart - do I simply download the demo version and use my serial numbers? What files do I need to remove and how do I preserve my settings?
thanks,
Rishi

Aperture asking for serial no. on each start up. Why?

Since upgrading to a new macbook, i cannot open aperture without a request for the serial number. i have deleted the software on the old macbook and successfully registered the same software on the new one and updated to v3.4 however... Any ideas?

Maybe you have an old ProAppsSystemID file.
Quit Aperture, log off and log on again. Then - in the Finder- open your System Library and navigate to the folder:
/Library/Application Support/ProApps
If there is a file ProAppsSystemID move this file to the desktop, also any other files with Aperture in the name.
Then try again to launch Aperture and to enter the registration number.

Aperture won't open after updating iPhoto

I have been running Aperture 3.3.1 for months (and using Aperture since v3.0) on OS-X 10.7.5 (and a few previous versions) without a hiccup. In a comedy of errors a couple nights ago while trying to AirPlay a project on my Apple TV, I launched iPhoto instead of iTunes and fell for the request to update iPhoto. That update in turn asked to update my library which I unfortunately approved. Now when launching Aperture I get the following warning:
Opening Aperture by holding the Option and Command keys while clicking on the library file works and I have tried all three options (permissions, repair and rebuild), but Aperture still won't open from the dock. The images I displayed with AirPlay were added after the iPhoto update fiascso, so if I restore from Time Machine those edits will be lost. At this point that isn't sounding so bad. Am I down to that as my best option? Thanks.

At this point you have two options, roll back the Aperture library or update Aperture.
I don't see a downside to updating Aperture so unless there is some other reason why you don't want to or ca;t update that's the way to go.
If you can't or won't update you'll have to restore the Aperture library from your backups and loose the recent edits.
