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.

  • Can aperture 3.6 read from the photos app library?

    when I try to select the photos library for aperture it is greyed out. I don't want to store two whole libraries on my computer.

    No, Aperture cannot read a Photos Library.
    I've no idea what the rest of your post means, sorry.

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • Can a search engine read the contents of a Library file embedded in a page?

    Can a search engine read the contents of a Library file
    embedded in a page? Or would SSI be the way to go. I'm creating a
    large library of text-based information and links, and I want to
    have much of it modular so I can add a link and all the many pages
    on my site updates to reflect the change. A big concern is that
    when a search engine visits my site, can it read the content
    embedded in the library item, or is SSI a better method to help the
    search engine read my content?
    Thanks

    Yes, search engines can read Dreamweaver library items. The
    library only exists on your own hard drive. Once you add the
    library item to your pages it's in there as regular HTML.
    If you have more than 20 pages on your site, they say SSI is
    better, because when you update you only update the SSI. If you
    stick with library items each page has to be uploaded every time
    the library is updated.

  • I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5.  Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog, or is Elements 5 too old to read?

    I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5.  Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert?  What's the best way to migrate?  (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)

    Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
    Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
    If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

  • I have lost my Aperture 2 serial number how do I get a new one so that I can install Aperture 3 upgrade

    I have Aperture 2, changed my imac, used the backup system and found that I cannot find my serial number for Aperture 2. I have Aperture 3 upgrade, so can someone please advise how I get my serial number for Aperture 2 please. Hence I can not install Aperture 2, and therefore same problem not being able to install upgrade. Assistance would be much appreciated.
    Martin

    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.

  • Can you download the Aperture 2 upgrade?

    I haven't been able find where you can download the upgrade although I have found the trial version as well as the version for new buyers.
    Thanks, John

    Yes, I downloaded the trial while I'm waiting for my boxed version to arrive to authorize and migrate my full library of photos. The trial version IS the upgrade for those of us already using Aperture.
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/trial/
    Be sure to read the panel on the lower right for existing Aperture owners. I also took a look at this thread on the forum for further confidence in the upgrading process:

  • Can aperture 3 convert a gray scale photo into a line drawing?

    can aperture 3 convert a gray scale photo into a line drawing?

    I have a B.F.A. degree in painting which educated me in the "history of art" with appreciation of the old masters. I agree with your statement that, "anyone mistaking photos converted to "line drawings, watercolors,or paintings" is simply ignorant" and that, "line art is to drawing what clip art is to painting."
    I appreciate your passion and love for keeping "visual creativity" true to its inherant nature. Expressing your views however, in regard to my question in this thread, is irrelevant to the question asked. I am not ignorant.  My question has nothing to do with the philosophy of art. You have no idea what project I have in mind for asking my original question. I suggest that perhaps you have chosen the wrong forum to express your views.  Sticking to the question asked, as the other participants have, has been most helpful to me and I appreciate their response.
    Thanks for your attention.

    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.
    Good Luck

  • I have created complex books in Aperture.  Will these convert to the new photos program so they can still be printed?

    I have created a number of books using Aperture.  These are not just photos, but include a lot of text.  How can I ensure that I will be able to print copies in the future.  Can my book files be converted to use the new photo app?

    The new Photos.app will have the classic rectangular sizes as well.
    See the Preview.
    Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
    It only mentions the new square format, but the classic layouts are there as well, as the picture shows.
    But you may not be able to migrate the old book projects. Finish any current book project while still using iPhoto '11 and create new projects in Photos.

  • Moving aperture 3 (upgrade version) to a new laptop, need aperture 2 licens

    I just got a new macbook pro and I used the migration assistant to move absolutely everything over from my old macbook. When I tried starting Aperture on my new macbook, it asked for the serial number. I entered it. Aperture then told me it was an upgrade license (which it was) and asked for the original serial number. But, unfortunately, I can't find my Aperture 2 license.
    So here's my question: Is there some way to extract my old Aperture 2 license from any of the files on my old laptop, such as the one called Aperture System ID?
    Thanks for any help.

    Most likely, you can plug in your USB drive on the new Mac and it will work. However, to be on the safe side, I would run the File/Consolidate Media command for each project to make sure you have access to all events, photos, and music used in the project.
    See this for details. (last paragraph) https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    When you use a new version of iMovie, all the events and projects are converted to the new format. You cannot go back and run an earlier version after that. However, if you have the same version on both Macs, you can edit on each.

  • 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

  • Can Aperture lay one image on top of another?

    Remember the days of sandwiching two negatives and printing them as one image?
    OK, most of you who can answer me were not born then. But that's what I want to do with two files—can Aperture do this for me?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Unfortunately, no.
    You will need a program that can composite (typically with layers and transparency capabilities) so one image can show through another to varying degrees.
    The most expensive option is Photoshop full version ($700) and the least would be Gimp (which is free).
    Note - there are many other programs between the above price range including Photoshop Elements which will easily do the trick and more.
    Editing this one to add that Pixelmator looks like a promising app and is available as a trial at their site:
    http://www.pixelmator.com/
    They also have a sneak peak of Pixelmator 2 which a new purchaser can purchase the current version from the Mac App Store for $29 and will receive Pixelmator 2 as a free upgrade when released.
    http://www.pixelmator.com/sneak-preview/
    I would suggest giving this one a try before looking at Photoshop or Gimp.
