How do I re-download aperture if I didn't buy from the app store?

I bought Aperture a long while back (I think as AP2), and then upgraded to 3.  I've now replaced my HD and need to reinstall it.
Easiest thing I can think of would be to download it from the app store, but I didn't buy it through the app store.  Is there another way to re-install aperture?  Or, alternatively, is there a way to "upgrade" to the app store version, which would be more convenient altogether?
Thanks! -a.

Boo  :-(
I mean, I still have the old hard drive... I guess I could just copy the application over, but there's probably a bunch of support files I don't want to track down by hand.
Or, maybe I can download the Aperture 3 trial from Apple and try entering my serial into that?  I might give that a shot.
Thanks for the help,
- a.

  • I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  Can I also download it for my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?  Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.

    You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select  Mountain Lion.
    Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

  • HT4007 I bought aperture on disk can i reinstall from the app store?

    I bought Aperture many years ago( v3)  I lost the disk and want to install Aperture on my new iMac. Can I do this from the app store or do I have to re purchase. I have it currently on my laptop only. Thanks

    If you have the serial number for the version you are running (and if it is running on your laptop then you can retrieve the serial number by going to Aperture->About Aperture) You  can download Aperture 3 from here Aperture 3.1 Trial
    You will need to run software update once you've loaded this to bring it up to date.

  • Buying from the App Store--how many machines can I install it on?

    When I buy Mountain Lion from the app store, am I permitted to install it on my wife's machines as well as mine? My children's?

    Yes on all computers you own using the same Apple ID of the original purchase.
    Make sure your household computers meet these hardware requirements.
    Back up each Mac user home directory. The home directories will not be touched during an Upgrade, but it is good diligence anyway.
    You can re-download the Mountain Lion updater to each Mac by using the Option key in the App Store Purchases section. The last thing the updater does on completion, is remove itself from the computer.
    Make sure that any applications you presently use have been upgraded to work with Mountain Lion. PowerPC applications will no longer work. Some Applications may need to be reinstalled.

  • Can't download or buy from the App Store

    Whenever I try to download or buy something from the App Store it tells me to give the 3 security questions and I click ok than a pop up appears to write my password but it keeps popping every time I write although its correct so I can't buy or download anything from the App Store , plzzzz help

    I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
    1) Installing iBooks on your iPad via iTunes on PC/MAC
    2) Adjust the time of your iPad to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
    3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
    4) Open iBooks on your iPad, download any 1 book
    5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
    6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
    7) Done!
    I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP.

  • How do I get rid of 'game of war' pop-up from the app store?

    I was browsing reddit, clicked on a link that directed me to imgur, and after a few seconds I was redirected to the app store where Game of War popped up. Now I can't navigate away from this app pop-up in the app-store, and I really don't want to download it. I've cleared my cache and cookies, but this makes no difference. I would delete the app store and reinstall, only that's not possible.
    What can I do?

    hi… Just came across this post. Naturally, that's because I was looking for the same solution. Unfortunately, none of the things suggested here will work. That's because this is nothing to do with cookies or defective apps or the like.
    It has to do with unscrupulous advertisers.
    They are clearly inserting a script that auto directs you back to the App Store. Whether it is the app developers themselves into this… Or some agency that arranges for their banner advertising… I do not know. I have seen it attributed in many other places around the web.
    I am inclined to believe that it is the developers themselves, since it happens to be only two or three specific apps that do this… The ones mentioned above and game of war and one other one, which I don't recall at the moment… Though that seems incredible, considering how many times I have had to look at their stupid pop-up.
    I have also seen that Apple is trying to find a way to prevent this. And I am sure that the guardian and the Huffington Post and some of the others would try to prevent… At least I hope so. Any conspiracy theorist could imagine that they would be in collusion with this company, as it would increase sales. However, it reflects so badly on both of them that I have a hard time believing that accusation.
    I continue to think that it must be the app developers.
    And I think that it would be great if everybody found some way to make it absolutely clear to those developers that we will not stand for any longer. It is literally ruining the experience of using many news apps, the Safari browser, or visiting several online publications and websites. I encounter it most when I am trying to read "the papers" on my iPad while eating breakfast. Infuriating!
    if you are as annoying as I am, go find these websites of the app developers… And send them an angry message. You all know which ones I am talking about… Unfortunately.

  • HT204088 After this issue with children making purchases, does anyone else have to enter their password three or four times before they can download something (whether its free or paid) from the app store or itunes (music)??

    It is extremely irritating and makes it so that I dont even want to download ANYTHING. I know of others that only get prompted one time and I do not understand why I would need to enter my password a minimum of three times

    Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
    If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out.

    No but there's a link to reset your password. Etc etc..
    This is the email I got.
    "Your Apple ID was just used to download Photoshop Touch for phone £2.99 from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
    If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.

    hello everyone!  i have a new macbook pro and i want to download aperture.  my app store says it is already installed (on my old macbook pro).  how do i install aperture from the app store in this instance please?

    Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
    You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

  • Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    The App Store version of Aperture will never ask for a serial number so something got confused on your system. Did you ever have a non App Store version of Aperture installed? Did you download the trial version for some reason?
    You can try moving Aperture from the Application folder to the desktop and then going to the App Store. Log in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture and you should be able to download it again.

  • 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.

    Hi...
    Since it's been a year since you download the app, delete the app then re download.
    Best to use a utility that will not only remove the app but all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    Then redownload:
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Sign in to download from the App Store screen has the wrong Apple ID- grayed out. How can I change it?

    When I have a software update notification and I go to the 'Updates" tab of the App Store and click 'update',  the flash screen 'Sign in to download from the App Store comes up the the Apple ID is wrong and grayed out so I can't change it.  Where is the bogus Apple ID stored? How can I 'ungray' it to make it editable?
    I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on an IMAC 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
