Are older versions of Aperture (OS10.6.8) still available?

Are older versions of Aperture (OS10.6.8) still available for purchase and if so where?

Apple only sells current versions of Aperture. What version are you looking for and have you looked on sources such as E-Bay for legacy licenses?

Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

Well, you didn't give any information on your Mac, your OS version, transfer pics from where to where, or anything else, so guessing is the best anyone can do at this point: you should be able to simply using drag and drop.

HT1925 I cannot uninstall Bonjour and Quicktime so I can do a complete reinstall of iTunes. I get an error message stating that both are older versions and to contact technical support. I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.

I am trying to update iTunes on my desktop (running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3) and I continue to receive an error message stating that the update cannot continue because Bonjour and Quicktime are older versions and to contact technical support. I have tried repairing both and tried to uninstall iTunes and all of it's componants and still receive the same message. Any help getting this issue resolved as soon as possible will be much appreciated.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Hello Everyone. I have an older version of aperture, aperture 2, that I wanted to install on my MAC. I attempted the installation, and during the install there was a check to see if my computer was capable of installing the software, which it was.

Hello Everyone. I have an older version of aperture, aperture 2, that I wanted to install on my MAC.

After the install completed I tried running the software, and I got a message telling me I can't run this version with my operating system. Does anyone know why I can't run the aperture software, and why I was allowed to install it without some notification.

Where can I download a older version of Aperture?

I had a MAC PRO with MAC OS 10.7.5 and need to install Aperture but the last version requires 10.9; Where can I download a older version of Aperture?

You can only download the newest version of Aperture 3.
But try to buy a boxed retail version of Aperture 3 at Amazon. Be sure to get a full version and not an upgrade from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3.
The boxed version will install Aperture 3.0.x or Aperture 3.1.x.
You can update this version from the Apple downloads page to Aperture 3.2.4:
See this link: Aperture 3.2.4

Replacing older version of Aperture with newest one.

I purchased my 2011 MacBook Pro used and some software was left on it, mostly iLife stuff. Apparently Aperture was left on it as well and I recently realized that. It's definitely Aperture 3, but I'm not sure which version and I don't know if it's a trial or what, but I want to delete the older version of Aperture and downloaded the newest from the Mac App Store.
I have been playing around with the version on the computer just to make sure I like it, so I do have some photos saved in the current version.
How do I go about getting rid of the older version and upgrading to the newest MAS version? Will a Time Machine backup protect everything? Do I just drag the Aperture icon to the trash, then download the new MAS version? Do I need to export photos first? A little nervous about this as I don't want to lose anything.
Thanks for the help.

If it is Aperture 3, you can upgrade to the newest Aperture 3 version simply by selecting Software update from the Apple menu - you do not have to buy it, if you have Aperture on your machine. For software update to work, you should move the Aperture application to the Applications folder, if you keep it in another folder, and it needs to be named simply "Aperture".
As a precaution, before you upgrade from a much older version than the current version:
Write down the serial number of Aperture (if it is a pre-App Store version): You will find it in the "About" panel in Aperture's main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture.
Create a current backup of your system - it should include your current Aperture version and the Aperture library.
Then run the Aperture Library First Aid Tools, to repair the Aperture Library,
see Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
The repair before upgrading is important, because Aperture will upgrade the library to a new format, and it is safer to ensure that the library has no corruption.

HT4007 I've saved projects using older versions of aperture but I can't restore them using the latest version. What can I do to retrieve my photos?

Help! I can't restore projects from an older version of Aperture. Does anyone know how to work around this please?

from an older version of Aperture
Which older version? An Aperture 3 version or an earlier version?

How do I reinstall an older version of Aperture from the App Store?

Hello,
I have an older Macbook - 13 inch early 2008. It is still running fine on 10.7.5 Lion, but can't update to a later version of OS X, as it is not compatible. I have Aperture 3.4.5, which I purchased from the App Store.
Following a hard disk problem, I've reinstalled the laptop, used software update to get all the latest patches, and have recovered my files and applications from my Time Machine Backup. Unfortunately, Aperture is no longer able to open files from my Sony Nex camera ("Unsupported Image Format" message") even though it worked before I rebuilt my Mac, and is listed as supported under Aperture 3.4.5. I've done all of the "Repair permissions", "repair database" and "Rebuild Database" things, but it hasn't helped.
I've tried to fix this by removing Aperture (in case my Time Machine backup version is in some way corrupted) and reinstalled from the App Store, but the App Store won't let me have Aperture anymore, even though I've paid for it, because my system is no longer compatible with the current version, 3.5. I can't see a way of downloading a full copy of the older version compatible with my system. I can see updates for Aperture listed at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#aperture, including Aperture 3.4.5, but these require a copy of Aperture 3.0 or later already installed to update, and even if I run the 3.4.5 update, it tells me it won't work because my copy of Aperture is from the App store.
Can anyone help me find a way of navigating the App Store or Apple web site to get the copy of Aperture 3.4.5 I have licensed from Apple?
Many thanks.

@léonie
Thanks for your help with this. I've downloaded the latest RAW support updates supported on my machine - V4.09 that seems to contain all of the RAW formats for previous updated including V4.06, which includes the NEX 3N, my camera. After a short while (there seemed to be some sort of background processing ging on in Aperture) it started to allow my NEX 3N photos to be viewed. Some of the thumbnails were corrupted, but if I made a slight edit in each of these files, the thumbnails updated and all was well.
Prior to this, I raised a call with Apple, because the inability to reinstall software from the App Store that I've purchased from in App Store to a machine that supports OSX 10.7.5 and no later strikes me as a problem. I need to know that if my Time Machine backup fails and I need to reinstall, I've got somewhere I can go.
The support people at Apple were very helpful, and it feels like they recognise this as a problem, and are working to resolve it behind the scenes. The App Store will not allow me to download the last version that works on my machine at the moment, but it sounds like Apple is thinking about how to do this. In the meantime, they are shipping me a copy of Aperture 3.0 on CD, and sending me a registration code. This will solve my immediate problem.
This does make me wary about using the App Store for purchases in the future. I don't upgrade my hardware that frequently - I have no real need to as it just keeps working - and so not having physical copies of installation media for when the applications stop supporting my OS is a worry. On the face of it, maintaining prior versions of the software for older machines to download from the App Store seems like a reasonable solution, but they are not there yet, and there is no real commitment for them to do this. Anyone who doesn't back up their Apps in Time Machine (probably the majority of users) could loose them altogether when Apple moves on, and cuts app support for older OS versions.
Thanks to @léonie and @Frank Cagianno for your help.

Adding second language while keeping English as default + are older versions of Firefox available for download (wary of newest due to feedback I've read)

I have not installed Firefox. Thinking about it and it sounds good until I see all the problems people are having with crashing and connecting etc. That is why I want to know if an older version is available for download. I would feel more comfortable.
Also if do install, want to be able to read / write Russian language but not lose English as the primary language by default. Is this possible?

You can install additional language packs.

Reinstalled Aperture after a computer erase and re-install and now it will not open. Anyone have a solution? I'm operating on 10.6.8 and have an older version of Aperture (2010)

I re-installed Aperture after a computer erase and disk repair. Reinstalled from my back-up hard drive using migration assitant. Now it will not open. The message I get is this: Aperture cannot b opened because of a problem. Then goes on to say "check with the developer blah blah blah..." even though this is an Apple product. These are the things that drive me to distraction. Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion for a fix??

Your Aperture version?
Is your signature Mac OS X (10.4) current?
Reinstalled from my back-up hard drive using migration assitant. Now it will not open.
Aperture is best be reinstalled by running the installer, not by migrating.
Before you spend money, reinstall Aperture from your installation media (or from the Trial version download Aperture 3.1 Trial , if you are running Aperture 3)
Then update it immediately from the Apple  menu> Software update, launch it, and enter your serial number(s).
Are you really sure that there is no crash log?
The message you are quoting is usually a part of the crash report, when Aperture crashes directly on opening. Do you see this?
Aperture cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install available updates for the application and OS X.
This report will be sent to Apple automatically.
And what we would need to see, are the first 50 lines of the "This report ...."

Are older versions of photoshop available?

Can I buy and/or download an older version of photoshop?

Yes, CS6 is still available. That is quite an old version by now.
For older versions you may have to resort to ebay, for example. But be very, very careful - lost of hacked versions are still sold.
If you are a CS2 license holder, you may download CS2 from Adobe's website.

Are older versions of flash an option?

I am interested in buying flash however even with the discount given to students as a program it is still a large investment. I was wondering if I am able to buy an older version for example "Flash 8" at a reduced price from adobe or another trusted retailer I know the newer version have updated the program alot but many of the new features will be unused by me and the older version would suit my needs better.
I have tried contacting adobe but with no answer within 2 weeks so thought I would try here.

If Adobe sales hasn't responded, chances are they do not sell the older versions any longer. I'm pretty sure they do not provide tech support for them, so not selling them would make sense. If you can find older versions for sale, I doubt you'll get any kind of recommendation from anyone except those selling it that they are a reliable seller.

Are printed versions of Aperture User Guides available??

Does anyone know if there are printed/bound versions of Aperture User Guides available, either through Apple or a 3rd party?
PDF's and the help menu are fine when you're on the computer and need a quick answer. However, I also like to have a nice book version to take and read at night, when traveling, etc...
I would certainly pay (a reasonable amount) for such a book, but when I explored getting the PDF printed/bound at a local Staples, they wanted some outrageous amount ($160 or so), due to it being in color and 400+ pages.
Ideally, I'd like a version similar to the "Getting Started" manual that came with Aperture.
Regards
Tom

I agree, as I often prefer to sit down and read the manuals away from the computer, etc..
I can understand why Apple doesn't ship printed versions in the box (extra cost, shipping, etc) and provides a free PDF instead. However, it seems like they could offer a printed version for a price on their on-line (and retail) stores for those so inclined to pay for it. They already have the manuals generated, they just need to make them available.
In the meantime, I guess we wait for someone to bring an Aperture 1.5 book to market. Problem there is that by the time someone else puts one out, Aperture will be up to rev 1.6 or something...

Older version of Aperture not working on New MacBook Pro

Hi there I have a new Mac Book and my version of Aperture wont run.
I successfully installed it and have run all updates but still no joy.
I get the message 'You can’t use this version of the application aperture with this version of the Mac OS X' 'You have Aperture 1.5.1'
Is it my Mac Operating system?
I have tried downloading the Aperture 2.1.4 but its says I need at version 2.0 to run that update.

There's a 2.0.1 update [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL115] but I don't know if that would work for you or not.
The end of your last post was garbled
I have tried to get version 2.0 but its not available and just me to Aperture 3 download
so I'm not sure what you were asking here.

How do you transfer photos from an older version of Aperture to 2.1?

I used to have Aperture 1.5, and then got 2.0 when it came out.
I still have 1.5(or whatever the exact version is) on my computer separate from 2.1, and with it, all of its photos.
How do I transfer them to the current Aperture, which I frequently use?
Thanks in advance for replies.

I was about to post to ask Paul what advantage there is in Exporting/Importing Projects over simply converting the Library as kbeat suggests.
Then I reread the original post and realized that what you are trying to do is combine the two libraries.
If that's the case, Paul has given you the answer.
