How do I reinstall Aperture (2.2)?
Do I just trash the Library and the application? Are there particular library folders I need to despatch?
Thank you,
Susan

drag the app to the trash ...

How do I reinstall Aperture with only serial number?
I had to have a new hard drive installed and due to software corruption on my old drive I had to erase any software. My photo library was in Aperture and I can not access any of my images. I upgraded from a free trial and only have a serial number for version 3.2.4. How do I reinstall Aperture without having to repurchase the download? Thank you for any advice!
Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can install Aperture 3 from this link, then unlock it with your serial number:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
Then use software update to upgrade to 3.3.
Keep a copy of the Trial installer, just in case you ever need to reinstall.

How to properly reinstall Aperture
Good morning to you all;
I have been using Aperture for over a year and like the way it works. However, lately one of my plug-ins started acting strange and since me and the developer have exhausted all solutions, I would like to reinstall Aperture and see if it helps. As my library holds 15000+ pictures (98% of them referenced) and is around 60GB in size, I have a lot to lose.Mind you, I have it double backed up, but still would like to do the reinstall properly. *Could you pls advise me as to how to properly reinstall Aperture?* Thank youJade; thank you for your reply. I, indeed, only wanted to reinstall Aperture. No reimporting etc. Too much work. In the mean time I found the below info which covered all my questions. My problem is that when I select (cherry pick) several photos (lets say 80+) and try to upload them via Aperture to Picasa Web Plug in from Ubermind, the plug in tries to log in and then freezes. I am talking to their support guys and they are in deed very fast in replying. I just wanted to have a clean reinstall of Aperture to make sure there was no corruption.Any ideas are more then welcomed.
For reinstalling Aperture, I found these tips:
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Aperture. To do this
effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then
install Aperture and use Software Update to install additional updates. You
don't have to remove everything that was installed with Aperture. Follow
the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Aperture.
Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs nearby before
starting this.
1. Open the Applications folder.
2. Drag the Aperture application to the Trash.
3. Go to /Library/Receipts.
4. In the Receipts folder, select the "Aperture.pkg" and
"ApertureSampleProjects.pkg" files. Note: If you have Aperture 1.5
also select the "PluginManager.pkg" file.
5. Drag the those .pkg files to the Trash.
6. Insert your Aperture installation disc and install Aperture.
7. When finished, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu to
update your software to the latest version.
For further information on settings or installation, please refer to the
Aperture documentation available on your installation discs.

how to reinstall aperture 3.3 lost when reinstalling loin
If you purchased Aperture from the Mac App Store, just RE-DOWNLOAD it, from the Mac App Store. The re-download should be FREE.
Mac App Store: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
If I have already downloaded an app from the Mac App Store, can I redownload it for free?
Yes. You can redownload apps from the Mac App Store as long as the app remains available. You may be asked to enter the Apple ID and password you initially used to download the app.

How to reinstall Aperture from scratch
Hello everyone,
Could you please tell me how to re-install Aperture from the begining e.g. I have to put the SN again?
The problem is the program does not recognize my SN after the updates and I have no idea why. I bought this program through academic version.
Thank you very much,
JamesJames, if you need to reinstall the program, you are going to have to remove all Aperture related programs, folders and files, including plists and anything else that has Aperture in it. A file that the install program looks for is still on the system, and when the installation sees it, it goes into upgrade mode. Once you get rid of these files, the installation should work like a new install.
Do a search on all Aperture names files and see what you come up with. This should be pretty straight forward. This isn't Windows where things get written all over the disk, including the registry, and is almost impossible to remove.

I accidentally uninstalled aperture from my dock and computer how do I reinstall?
I accidentally uninstalled aperture from my dock and computer how do I reinstall on my MacBook Air? I was removing Aperture from my DOCK. Later when I went to search for it in my applications it was no longer available. I searched trash and applications. How do I reinstall?
I was removing Aperture from my DOCK. Later when I went to search for it in my applications it was no longer available.
When you remove an application from the Dock, it will just vanish from the Dock and not be deleted. Either the application was already missing, or you removed Aperture from the Launchpad. Removing from the Launchpad will uninstall an application completely.
If you hold down on an app, until the "x" appears and then tab the x, the application will be removed from the Applications folder.
How do I reinstall?
That will depend on your Aperture version and system version. What are they?
If you bought Aperture from the AppStore or are using Aperture 3.5.1, sign into the AppStore with your AppleID and download Aperture again from the "Purchased" tab.
If you bought an earlier version of Aperture, you need to use the installer disk image or installer DVD that you originally used. Do you still have the media and an optical drive for your MBA?
If you cannot run the installer, restore the Aperture application from your backup.

HT4007 How to reinstall aperture 3.0 on new hard drive.
Need to reinstall aperture. Hard drive crashed!!! I have the key for aperture 3.0 but I can not find anywhere to download it. What do I do?
I originally downloaded the trial version of aperture 2.0, then I bought the upgrade key for 3.0. I still have the serial number. There is only a buy option on the app store. I need to download it the old way and then enter the serial number but can't figure out how to do that.

How to reinstall Aperture purchased online, after changing AppStore?
After upgrading to mountain lion I have to reinstall Aperture, which I purchased from the Thailand AppStore. I now have moved to the Indonesia AppStore and cannot access / reinstall Aperture, as it doesn't list under purchases in my Indonesia AppStore. There are no trial versions anymore available... Help would be much appreciated, cannot wasit to get back to my photo library...!
Even if it works with a least expensive app, there is no guarantee it will work with anything else. This advice is a call-driver to iTS which causes the customers to be frustrated as to why they are charged again. I've also seen iTS refuse to refund as this will be considered an ACCIDENTAL purchase!
I agree it MAY work, and it MAY not. We are gambling here. I would contact iTS first, and discuss it with an advisor first before burning 80 bucks. -
I have an up to date version of Aperture on my Mac Pro, and I would like to install it on my new Mac book Pro. I have the original installation disks for Aperture 1 and 2. I cant remember how I got to Aperture 3, I think it was via a web download but not sure. I have checked my purchases in the App Store but there is no indication of me buying an upgrade to Aperture 3.
Ive tried to download it from the App Store but it wants me to pay again.
Can anyone help on how to install Aperture 3 on my new Macbook .
Many thanks regards AlfThen you can download the Trial version of Aperture 3 and unlock it with your serial numbers - you will need all three for all three versions: A current link to the Trial version is in this support document, also instructions on how to reinstall on different systems:
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
Regards
Léonie
BTW: Your Aperture 3 serial number will be displayed in the "About" panel - the panel you see, when you use the command "About Aperture" from the Aperture menu in the main menu bar. -

For no obvious reason Aperture (version 2 - can't yet afford the upgrade) stopped working and whenever opened displays the spinning beachball. So I trashed it and reinstalled from disc along with downloaded updates, three times. No luck - I still get the spinning beachball when it's opened. Does anyone know how to do a completely clean reinstall? Trashing it seems not to have been enough as the reinstallations must still be corrupt.
When you said you trashed Aperture, did you also Empty the Trash?
Not sure how you are starting Aperture but have you tried by dragging your Aperture Library onto the Aperture application icon? That might help.
If "Yes" to the above and still no go, then you may have a problem with Disk Permissions on your boot drive (likely named Macintosh HD). You can run Disk Utility to Verify Disk Permissions and Verify Disk to see if all is well. Some of the so-called error messages are normal and can be ignored. If you need to actually Repair Disk or Repair Disk Permissions, that function may need to be run a few times to fix everything. If you are doing repairs on your internal hard disk, you must first boot from your Install DVD and when the install panel opens, go up to the menu bar and select Utilities -> Disk Utility. -
Hi I am already running OS X 10.10.3 and Aperture. I've had Aperture for quite a while now..
If I upgrade to a new iMac later on down the road and what to reinstall Aperture again, what can I do? From the App Store, my open option is to OPEN the app. I want to download the full Aperture software, burn it to disc so I have it for later use if needed.. Can't locate any instructions on how or where to download the full installer and software. Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance! DaveCatsman wrote:
I assume Apple will not agree that Aperture will run on future OS's. Also eventually Time Machine backups are overwritten.
This isn't going to be easy. I have the exact same issue. I want to keep my thousands of photos in Aperture libraries and be able to access them in the future if need be.
This highlights the problem of trusting a company with your data.
Long Term Transition from Aperture
Even without aperture your photos are still there in the aperture library, just got to it in finder and show package contents, there are lots of folders with one call masters, then its all folders of year / month / date with all your master in there.
Luckily I decided to use referenced flies for all my photos on an external drive, just as safe but a little easier to find for me. -
