Can't update Aperture 3.2 to 3.2.1

For some reason (or the other) I just can't, as the subject line reads, update my Aperture from 3.2 to 3.2.1.
I keep getting:
"File got corrupted while downloading" (or something)
Which is odd as everything else I update via Apple Updater works fine - iTunes 10.5.1 came down without any problems during the same session...
This is VERY annoying and started after I updated to Lion some time back. I have tried for a good couple of weeks now
The same problem arised when I tried to download (and update) both my iPhone 4 and iPad 1 gen which I finally got updated via Apples website rather than the Software update and by restoring the devices.
Is there anyway I can get Aperture updated without getting the annoying Error message?
Thanks...

This is when you double click the dmg file or when you are doing the actual install or during the download?
Could you post a screen shot of the actual error window?
Just tried downloading the dmg that the link I posted above points to and it loaded and installed ok. So either you have a something strange going on on your Internet connection or else something on your system is messing you up.
After you get back with the answers to the questions above we'll see what else we can do.

Can not update aperture 3.1, wrong app store account

I have recently upgraded to Mavericks, and now can not open Aperture, version 3.1.
I tried upgrading to version 3.5, but the app store says I have the wrong apple account for this app. I only have one Apple account, and all other applications upgrade successfully with it.
Aperture was purchased in a box in version two some years ago, and has been upgreaded a few times, by downloading the upgrade and installing.
I have also moved to a new Mac Pro since the last time I upgraded.
I can find no way to upgrade Aperture, and can no longer use it. It's essential, I'm a photographer.
Kind Regards,
Michael Hund

Micheal,
you can download updaters for all versions, but Aperture 3.5. But the manual upgrade should enable you to upgrade to a version that will run with Mavericks at least, even if it will not let you upgrade to 3.5.
On my laptop at home I have Aperture 3.4.5 already
Does Aperture 3.4.5 run with Mavericks, and can you at least open your Aperture library and continue to use Aperture?
The update to Aperture 3.5 is handled very differently from all other updates. What Apple is doing, is transferring your Aperture registration key to an AppStore licence bound to your AppleID.
If you cannot update and get a warning, that your Aperture is tied to a different account, could mean, that there is a problem with your Aperture serial number. I suspect, if someone else had used your serial number to activate Aperture and upgraded it at the AppStore, you cannot use the same serial number again with your own AppleID. Compare the serial number you are seeing in Aperture's "About Aperture" panel with the ones on your Aperture upgrade boxes. And make sure, that you are signed into the App Store with the same Apple ID on all your Macs, when you are trying the update.
if there should be a problem with the registration code, contact Apple and ask for a replacement serial number: Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
Another frequent problem with upgrading Aperture is, that it only seems to be possible, if your main system language is set to "English". Try to set it temporarily to English, while trying to upgrade.

I can't update Aperture 2 to Aperture 3 (Maverick)

Hallo,
I'd like update Aperture from ver. 2 to 3, for free.
I have OS Maverick and Aperture 2 BOX (not purchased by App Store).
Unfortunately, when I check updates not show Aperture... I can download upadate Pages, Number etc., but Aperture not.
I removed Aperture and installed again but it doesn't work.
Somebody help me?

Aperture 2 is an old bit of software and it barely ran on Mountain Lion when it ran at all.
There have been a lot of improvements to the program since version 2 and you will be doing yourself a favor upgrading to 3.5
regards

Can't update Aperture 3.0 to 3.1.2 downloaded via Firefox.

Hi I'm new to Apple and Apple software. Thinking about turfing my Windows but having second thoughts with this update of Aperture 3.0. I have minimac OSX10.6.3 and Aperture 3.0. I experienced problems with Aperture 3.0 and noted that the update 3.1.2 would solve the issues. Downloaded the 3.1.2 update. Copied the 398mb file to minimac and tried to update Aperture. The error msg occurred "wrong version of OS." I checked http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518 and it says Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later. Can anyone help?

If it says it applies to OS 10.5.8 and 10.6.6 and you are running OS 10.6.3 then your version does not apply.
You will need to update your OS first to 10.6.6 as that is the requirement you have stated.
After that, applying the Aperture update should proceed without error.
P.S. Use software update to ensure you get the right updates rather than downloading from the webpage.

Can't update Aperture 3.0.3 to 3.1.2

I am try to update Aperture 3.0.3 to 3.1.2. I do get "Aperture 3.1.2Update.pkg" but when I double click on this "pkg" I get a window with "Install Aperture Update" and on top of this window I get an "alert window" saying:
"Aperture 3.0 or later is required to install this update". When I close the alert window, everything disappears.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Is Aperture in your Applications folder (not nested) and named simply Aperture?
Updater will not find it if it isn't.

I can't update Aperture or iPhoto to iCloud specs

To set up Photo Stream on your Mac, you need iPhoto 9.2 or Aperture 3.2. My iPhoto is 9.1.1 and my Aperture is 3.1.2. However when I go to the App store, either directly or from the iCloud control panel in system prefs, I get the message all apps are up to date. The same thing happens if I go to software updates under the Apple Menu. Why aren't my older apps being recognized for updating? Until this is solved, photo streaming is grayed out for me in the iCloud control panel.
I am using Lion 10.7.2, on an Intel core2 iMac..

If you have bought these apps at the appstore : delete them and re-install from Appstore, you will aotmatically receive the latest versions.
If you installed using ilife '11 DVD / Aperture DVD :
download the offline update dmgs from apple.com/support -> downloads , and run them locally.
iPhoto is at 9.2.1
Aperture at 3.2.1

Can't update Aperture from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 without paying full price.

I read about the new Aperture update to version 3.5 but it does not appear in regular software updates. When I found it in the App Store it is listed at $79.99. I already own Aperture and currently have version 3.4.5. I understood this to be a free update.

It is a free update, most users are getting it without a problem however some users seem to be having difficulty.
First thing the update is only for system running Mavericks. HA=ave you upgraded the OS yet?
If you have is Aperture installed in the systems Applications folder and named Aperture. These two points are important for Software Update to do its thing.
Have you tun Software Update and update from the Mac App Store. In my case it did not show up in the App Store until I had updated from 3.4.5 to 3.5.
Some users have had success getting the upgrade by uninstalling Aperture, reinstalling from their original media and then running Software Update. Remember if you try this you will need your serial numbers for Aperture so make sure you have them before trying it.

How can I update Aperture from 3.0.2 to version 3.1.2?

I use aperture 3.0.2 on a Mac OS X 10.5.8.
When I download the update from the official apple site and try to install, the system says that the update needs ProKit Version 5.1 or newer and that I shoud run the Apple software-update. But when I doo that, the system says, my software is up to date.

Did you by any chance sneak peaked at OS X Lion?? Anyway, you could try to download the ProKit update from here.

How can I update Aperture? I'm asked for an ID I cannot remember.

I'm told to download update with ID I used to purchase it. Apparently the Apple techs can't deal with this issue.
What I'd really like to do is consolidate IDs into one.

Have you tried to recover your Apple ID at
My Apple ID: https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa/iforgot?
Follow the link: "Forgot yourAppleID?" on that page to recover your ID.
You may wish to repost this question in the Using Mac AppStore forum.

Advice for moving to, and updating Aperture on, new computer?

I am moving to a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, from a 6-year-old MacBook Pro. I'm looking for tips to make the transition smoother.
I will be upgrading to the newest version of Aperture. I currently have Aperture 3.4.5. Everything is all on my laptop. The Aperture file is 938 MB, and is SLOW! It's barely usable as it is.
I will be using TimeCapsule to transfer files. My current OS is 10.7.5.
Should I update Aperture before I move it? Should I move it, and then update it? Should I (somehow!) "disconnect" the files from the program and then reconnect them after they are transferred?
I'd like to make this transition as painless as possible!
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

1. You can't update Aperture past 3.4.5 from 10.8.5 or earlier. You need to move it and then perform the update.
2. See #1.
3. No. Just keep a backup of them.
4. If you got Aperture from a DVD and the new computer's running Yosemite, you'll probably need to contact Apple to perform the update.

I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name. How can I update these references? Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
File -> New -> Smart Album, and add a rule: File Status is "Missing" (or File Status is "offline")
Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
and select: File -> Locate referenced File
If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

Transferring Aperture from my Macbook Pro 5,5 to a new MacBook looks complicated. If I purchasea new, updated Aperture, can I open my old vault on an external disk in the new Mac?

Software Update?

Aperture 3.4 can't update library

I updated Aperture on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro (Both 10.8.2) to 3.4. After the update Aperture opens and says it needs to update my Library. While performing the lib update the process stops with the message: WARNING: There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/ApertureLib/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option provided is "Quit" The same thing happened on both computers. I've tried launching with Cmd/Opt to rebuild and/or repair the libraries without any success. The repair/rebuild always crashes the app. When I launch with Opt key and try to create a new library, it fails to create one. I've tried reinstalling Aperture only to end up with the same results. I've done a permission repair and, of course, a reboot. Something is terribly wrong with Aperture 3.4.

John, if you already reinstalled and tried all repair options, we need more clues to what might be wrong in your case. Please post a crash report (the first 60 lines + the crashed thread) and any diagnostic messages relating to Aperture that you can see in the console window.

Can't update my Aperture 3.0.3

I can't open my Aperture Library. I also can't up date it. I bought my Aperture as a Trial that was upgraded. I had it named Aperture 3 Trial for most of its existance but just changed it to Aperture after checking this site. I still don't get any updates available when I choose Software Update from the Apple. The Aperture is version 3.0.3 and I have just moved them to a new computer that is running Mountain Lion. When I put Aperture 3.0.3 on the new machine I could not open my Aperture library. Now I can't update the library. I don't have the original serial number for the application and can't open it. Only about 8,000photos of my kids from age 1-7 on there.... Any suggestions? Do I need to buy a new Aperture?

What is with the old machine? Can you launch Aperture there at all? For example on a new empty Aperture library? Then use the the command "Aperture > About Aperture" from the main menu bar to show the "About" panel and take a note of the serial number shown there. Write it down.
I still don't get any updates available when I choose Software Update from the Apple.
What is the MacOS X version on you old computer? Is Aperture installed in the Applications folder?
When I put Aperture 3.0.3 on the new machine I could not open my Aperture library. Now I can't update the library. I don't have the original serial number for the application and can't open it
You need to update Aperture on the new machine, before you try to launch it on your new machine.
Have you installed Aperture by running the trial or by copying the Application? Run again the Aperture Trial installer on the new machine.
Download the Aperture Trial version from here: Aperture 3.1 Trial
Now run the Aperture trial installer on your new mac and upgrade immediately (using Software Update from the menu). Then launch Aperture and unlock it with the serial number you retrieved from your old mac from the "Aperture" about-panel.
