How do you delete the encrypted license key for an app?

Aperture freezes computer when opening. I've been given tips in Aperture forum that my license key may be corrupted. I've tried reinstalling Aperture, however it uses my key from previous install.
I have reinstalled latest update to SL, deleted Aperture and used timemachine to install an older version. Nothing seem to work. I'm hoping it is something simple. I have a bride waiting on her wedding pics and I am getting desperate. I don't want to go to LR but may have no choice.

Three things:
1. Open Keychain Access in your Utilities folder. If the key is stored there you can locate it and remove it.
2. Download Easy Find - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and use it to search for both visible and invisible files associated with Aperture to try and locate the preference file in which the key is saved. You can then delete that file which should force Aperture to ask for the registration code.
3. If Aperture has an uninstaller (may be on the DVD) then use the uninstaller to remove it. That should then remove all traces including the registration key.

    The same way you put them on the phone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of the iPhone, then the Photo tab. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone and click Sync.

    How do you delete contacts from your phone for good without having it appear in the messages app?

    Hi tieyce,
    You need to hook up your iPhone, select it under Devices, and then go to the Photos tab on the Device Profile, and uncheck Sync Photos, then sync. That should delete all photos that were downloaded from your computer.
    When you say you have 2 separate albums of the same sets of pictures, what 2 albums are you referring to? Can you provide us with names of those "duplicate" albums?
    Cheers,

  • How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"

    How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"? i have moved everything to iCloud and want to delete the contacts on my mac. 

    Signing out will not delete them from iCloud. Do it and read the message. It will give you the option to store address book contacts locally or just in iCloud. It will tell you that they will be available in iCloud when you sign back in.
    In Addition, signing your mac out of iCloud does not sign your other devices out of iCloud. Any info in iCloud will still be available to other devices.
    You can also access iCloud from the website https://www.icloud.com , which you can access from any computer at any time.

    thats for recent calls...what I am talkin about is the contact list...there are 3 swipe windows when you call up the contact list, its starts off in the middle displaying your contcts, swipe to the right and it shows social networking updates, swipe all the to the left and it has contact history which shows all the history for your contacts, whether its phone calls, texts, facebook updates, facebook messages, everything for every contact, I have facebook messages from months ago that come up because its linked to facebook. Even when you text and delete the conversation, it still displays all the texts in the history for that contact, I want that deleted out and there is no way to do it.
    When you're on the screen you 're talking about, if you press the menu button (bottom left) that brings up a "Delete" button.  Is this what you're asking?
