Hack to install Aperture Camera Raw 4.06 on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

I bought a Nikon D7100 and was surprised that I can't upgrade my Aperture 3.4.2 running on 10.6.8 to work with RAW images. I thought someone might have a hack to install this camera raw update without upgrading to 10.7.5? Any help is appreciated.

To run Aperture 3.4.5 you really need MacOS X 10.7.5 or 10.8.2 or later.
The differences between the latest Lion Version or Mt. Lion and Snow Leopard are more than a few files. As William Lloyd said, there is no way to patch this by adding a few files. The new generation of Mac OS X systems has a completely different architecture, and Aperture has been built to profit from the system services, most importantly the security features - sandboxing -  a very different process system, 64bit only code, and iCloud support.
If you are interested in the differences, you may want to have a look at these ars Technica reviews:

Does your Mac not support 10.7.5?

  • Can't Install Digital Camera Raw 3.6

    I am having problems installing Digital Camera Raw 3.6. During the install, I get the message "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update can't be installed on this disk. This update provides support for Aperture 3 and iPhoto 9 only".
    I purchased Aperture 3 from the Mac App store. In Aperture 3, Digital Camera Raw 3.4 is installed. Software Update does not recognize Digital Camera Raw needs to updated. Help!

    Ernie.......yes, the application is Aperture, Mac's photo-image software. I didn't specify as I thought I was posting in the Aperture Forum. I'm not very familiar with these forums, did I miss a step in clarifying my subject?

  • Epson r2400 Driver Loses Functionality after Installing Digital Camera Raw

    I have four Macs at home and two printers. After installing Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 from software update on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, the Epson r2400 printer driver no longer works. I can barely get a print out of Aperture and/or Photoshop, however, Pages will output to the r2400 no problem. When I try to print with the other Mac Pro that has not been updated, I can print without issue. I can print from both machines to my kyocera mita printer within aperture and photoshop.
    All of these computers are running 10.5.2. The only difference being the most recent Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 is installed on the two machines that no longer work with my Epson r2400.
    I have uninstalled the print drivers and reinstalled. Changed the connection to the computers and tested everything that has worked in the past. I consider myself pretty good at troubleshooting, but this is beyond my grasp.
    I need to print right away from all these computers, so does anyone know how to "roll back" an update? I am not running Time Machine, but that may change very, very soon. Please help...

    I'm working off a 750 GB hard drive, not so simple to clone even via firewire. I guess I made a serious mistake by trusting the apple update process...I see they have a new update today. I may try that to see if fixes the problem before I buckle to the original system disk installation process. If the install is already burned, it couldn't hurt to throw some gasoline on it, right?

    Try the easiest way first:  simply select the Updates menu item in Photoshop's Help menu. 
    You want to be on version 6.7 of Camera Raw.
    If for some reason the auto updater fails, you can download the updated plug-in and install it yourself by following the instructions on the download page, here:

  • Issue installing Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7

    Hi guys,
    I having issues installing Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7. I gt this error "Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update Other processes are running which conflict with update installation. Please close them and try again. Error Code: U45M1P19". I restart the Computer (Windows 7) and closed all Adobe programs but the problem persist. Any ideas...
    Thanks in advance!
    P.S. I have Adobe Design Premium CS5.5

    I have exactly the same issue and error number. The only difference is that I am running  a Mac with OS X10.8.2
    I also tried installing Camera Raw 7.1 and that did not work either.
    I downloaded the Adobe Support manager and it reported everything as OK.
    I have tried rebooting, turning off all apps. Nothing seems to fix this.
    Any clues on what might be the problem and how to fix.
    The reason I need the update is that I am using LR4 and want to edit in Photoshop CS 5.5 and it tells me I need to update  my Camera raw.

  • Can't install Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.2

    Software Update wants to install Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.2, but it always fails, saying: "The update “Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update” can’t be saved. You do not have appropriate access privileges. The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder."
    I've tried doing Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, but this has not helped. I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.5, all other recent updates have gone in fine.

    I had the same problem. Deleting the contents of the HD/library/Updates worked.
    Never the less I noticed that the permission set was different:
    Original permission set: admin R&W, admin R only, everyone R only.
    I also followed the Alias and found two files with the same permissions.
    Re-downloading (via software update) revealed a new permission set:
    (Me) R&W, Admin R&W, everyone Read only
    In both the alias and the two files downloaded. Note that (Me) denotes your user with administrator access.
    I believe that, since the update was downloaded automatically, the permissions were mismatched and instead of adding a system R&W privileges it added a second Admin Read only permission.
    Adding an administrator user with read and write permissions should solve the problem (as long as you authenticate as that particular administrator when prompted for intall authorization).

  • Aperture 1.5.6 no longer works when using Snow Leopard.  Help!

    I never upgraded to Aperture 2. This has prevented me from using RAW files on my Nikon D90 (despite the RAW Compatibility Update, it did not apply to the original Aperture).
    Now, to my dismay, Aperture does not work on Snow Leopard. This is just great, because my entire collection of over 20000 photos is stored in the library. While I am aware that the photos are preserved in the Aperture library, I am aware of absolutely no way to easily access them for export now that I have Snow Leopard installed and I'm fearing for my photography collection.
    I am not willing to downgrade my OS just for Aperture, but after two serious issues with the original Aperture program, I think I am going to switch over to Lightroom. Aperture's workflow was excellent, but the fact that a copy I paid good money for is being phased out in extreme manners like this, so much so that my photo library is in critical condition, makes me leery of future iterations of the program. I understand something like PowerPCs being phased out with the release of Snow Leopard. That makes a lot of sense, because it's old technology. But I feel like Apple simply ignored people who had the original version of Aperture and only supported the newer version.
    I may have to resort to installing Aperture on my friend's laptop that is still running Leopard, exporting all the images, and then importing them into iPhoto in the meantime or something.
    Is there any way I can get around doing this? Is there an easier way to access my files in the Aperture Library without going through the program? Does Lightroom have an easy way to import from Aperture? If I bought Aperture 2 instead of Lightroom, would I be able to import Aperture 1's Photo Library right into Aperture 2 and still preserve everything?
    I'm really worried. Thank you for reading/responding.

    I ran into the same issue as well - I had an old academic version of 1.5 which did not even have an upgrade path to 2.0. What's worse is that there was no way to recover my RAW/master files without rolling back to OSX 10.5. After much frustration and reading Apple's responses in these forums, I decided to try out Adobe Lightroom and I'm liking it a lot now.
    I used a 10.5 install with Aperture 1.5.6 in a temporary partition to get the RAW files out. I probably will not spend any more money on Aperture and will pay the extra $ on lightroom as it seems to be more versatile and worth the money. Especially the new integrated export UI is neat.

  • If I will install OS X Lion on the same partition that the Snow Leopard is I will loose all of my data?

    One can't guarantee no data loss.  See my backup FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    All else being equal, it will upgrade you to 10.7, but applications and drivers may need to be updated too.  See my other FAQ* for other possible pitfalls:

    You have a Retina MacBook Pro, it runs OS X 10.7 or 10.8.
    It won't run Snow Leopard (10.6) and Rosetta is only for Snow Leopard to run older PowerPC processor based programs when Mac's used to have those instead of the Intel processors they all have now.
    So that software your installing is incredibly old, if you bought it, return it for a refund.
    Also you don't need a anti-virus for OS X, Apple installed one for all OS X 10.6.8-10.8 users.
    If you need anti-virus to clean the Windows files of their malware before passing it on, then the free ClamXav does the job.

  • I have an iMac mid-2010 running Snow Leopard. Is it possible to install Mavericks and Windows 8 on separate partitions while keeping Snow Leopard?

    I have an iMac mid-2010 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Is it possible to install Mavericks and Windows 8 on separate partitions while keeping Snow Leopard? If so, can you describe the steps?

    That should not be a problem as long as there is enough room on each partition for each OS.
    You would:
    Use Disk Utility to partition your HD
    Download the Mavericks installer and install it on one of the open partitions (when you run the installer from your 10.6.8 partition, it will ask you where you want to put Mavericks, and you will specify one of the open partitions).
    Use Boot Camp to install Windows on another of the open partitions. Mac Basics: Using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp

  • I am trying to install Lion OS X 10.7 over Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    I am trying to install Lion OS X 10.7 over Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I get an error message: "There are currently other logged in users, who must be logged out before you install Mac OS X".

    Bill

    I don't know what you mean by "I switch to log out other users and deleted everyone listed" -- if other user accounts are on your Mac you just need to log them out, not delete anything -- but it may be that there are other user accounts you aren't aware of on the Mac.
    Are you an admin user? Did you originally set up this Mac?
