How to move aperture

Hi,
I am running Aperture on an old macbook pro. I have just got a new macbook pro and need to move Aperture across with the Library.
I do not want to use Migration assistant as I only want to move the applications that I want.
Many Thanks.

The library can just be copied. If the masters are managed it's as easy as dragging the library from one systems HD to the others. if the masters are referenced then you will need to move those also.
The easiest way to do this is to use target disk mode. Search the Apple Support site for directions if you are unfamiliar with the setup.
The app is a different matter you really need to install it from your original media on the new system. Trying to copy an app manually will cause problems as they may have installed things in places other then the App folder.

  • How to move Aperture Application back to computer, but keep Library on External HD?

    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    1. As my Aperture Library started out of the gate large, I began by putting both the Aperture Application and all of the Library on an External Hard Drive.
    2. How do I move the Aperture Application back to my computer, but leave all the Library (and its photos, contents, etc.) on the External Hard Drive?
    3. I tried opening a new Aperture Library on my computer and then attached my External Hard Drive.  I tried clicking that I wanted to keep all the data on the Eternal Hard Drive (presumably this would just transfer the Reference files to my computer - but leave the 100s of GB of photos and data on the External Hard Drive). But the Import button remains greyed out. It is like the Aperture Application on my computer sees another Aperture Application and Library on the External Hard Drive. One Library is open (on computer), so it can't access photos in 2nd Library - (External Drive). But if I open up External Drive Library, then I can't import in the direction I want.
    4. I don't want to import One Project. I am trying to now have my Aperture App and Reference files on computer, while keeping all my photos, etc. on External drive.
    5. One more question as I have read and heard it both ways. Some people say - One Aperture Library for all photos is the best way. That is the point of it. To organize all your photos.
    6. Others say - One library is absurd. As it grows and grows, it slows down and gets sluggish. Better to have multiple (smaller) libraries.

    Thanks for this link as well.
    This person seems to want to illustrate that you can have multiple Libraries, which you can.  The first example given is a good one: one Library for professional work (I was paid to make these, and I sell them), and one Library for, as the author states, "snapshots of family and friends".  The second example is suspect.  That is the author's Library for his Aikido club.  This seems set up simply so that he can show a third Library.  The Library does no appear to be used much, and is very small.  There is no reason such a Library shouldn't be either in his Professional Library (I get paid to take shots of my Aikido club) or in his personal Library (my Aikido friends).
    I put both this person and the other person to whose video you linked in the category of helpful people who have knowledge but not much experience.  (And let me here acknowledge that I tend to overstate my case: I'm happy to have my experience improved -- but I didn't see anything in either citation that did that.)
    A year ago I stated my general rules for creating Libraries.  I stick by them today:
    My rules-of-thumb are:
    •  One Library for each photographer or group of functionally identical photographers (a company that shoots weddings, for example) when the author/copyright-holder of the image is important.
    •  Separate Libraries for "authorless" images of a specific category (I keep a Library of paintings and drawings; who made the photographs is of no interest).
    •  Separate Libraries for items which need to be handled securely (medical documentation, for example)

  • How to move Aperture photos to Qnap

    I have aQnap server to backup  my computers and photos. I cannot use iPhoto to see the albums as they are in iPhoto. Is this possible with Aperture or photoshop ?

    Check out the Discussion Forums http://forum.qnap.com and Help on the QNAP web site and the ones you can access once you log into your QNAP in Safari.  There are lots of suggestions and guidelines to help you.  Also check out the videos on youtube that they offer.
    Aperture and Iphoto use the same physical Library now, so you will not see a difference in behaviour.
    Photoshop does not have a Library like Aperture or iPhoto and also does not provide any way of managing your versions or your collection of photos.  Everything would be manuayl done by you.
    I think the best solution is to keep your iPhoto Library on your local hard drive (or external expansion drive if you need more space) and back it up with TimeMachine to your NAS or an external hard drive.  TimeMachine backups are supported by QNAP.  You should also do periodic back-ups to an external drive that you can keep in a safety deposit box in case of fire or theft of your equipment.

  • I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
    Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
    But it don´t work on my new Mac...
    In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
    Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.
    See: Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers

  • IPhoto to Aperture - How to move photos?

    Ok, I am new to Aperture, and I would like to import all my photos from iPhoto to Aperture. That means that I stop completely using iPhoto and switch to Aperture. After I did that, I saw that in my Picture folder I stll have iPhoto library (~70 GB) and a new Aperture Library.aplibrary(~). What I would like to have is the following:
    1. All my masters in one Aperture folder/library. So, the question is how to make Aperture move (or at least be sure that it had copied) all my pictures into one place.
    2. I would like to have all my masters on external drive, but still being able to show a preview of my photos on my MacBook without the external drive. Is this possible? If yes, how do I do that?
    Thank you in advance

    I'm pretty sure you can, yes.
    But here's trick if you're worried: - Make a copy of the iPhoto Library on another disk. Then trash it from the main disk.
    Then test Aperture - especially exporting etc -  and make sure it works correctly. If it doesn't - no harm done you have the copy

  • Manually  migrating to new Mac: how to move iOS Apps

    I am doing a manual migration from my old Mac to my new Air.
    I understand (I think) how to move my itunes Music Library).
    However, I don’t know how to move all of my iOS apps  (some of which are installed on my iPad and iPhone and some of which aren't).
    Thanks for your help!

    I'm no expert on the iTunes library situation, I'll leave that for others.
    I can help on the Aperture move.  There are two possible answers.
    If you have a Managed Library (all the Masters are inside the library), the job is easy.  Just go to Finder and drag and drop it to the new location.
    If any of your Masters are "Referenced Masters" (that is they live outside the Aperture Library), then you still move the Library as above, but DO NOT USE FINDER TO MOVE THE MASTERS!
    You MUST use Aperture's "Relocate Masters" function to do the move of the Masters.  If you move them using Finder, Aperture gets all confused, and while it is possible to straighten the mess out, it's not fun.
    Most people have a "Managed Library", so it's probably very simple.
    To tell if you have "Referenced Masters", go into Browser and select 'Photos" in the Library Inspector, click on one image and select all images (Command-a).
    Then choose "Locate Referenced Files..." in the File menu.  If it says "No Referenced Files", you have your answer - it's a totally "Managed" Library, so drag and drop it.
    If you have got Referenced Masters and need help, post back.
    Hope this helps

  • Incorrectly imported photos  - how to move?

    I have all my photos organized at the file system level, and have Aperture catalogue reference these photos (not stored into the library).
    The structure is:
    My Picture (project)
    --- Folder 1 (folder)
    ------>Album 1 (album)
    --------->photos
    ------>Album 2
    Recently I imported new set of photos under a new project at the root level (same level as My Pictures), by mistake.
    I have already done all my editing of this new set of photos.
    I would like to move these new photos in the same structure as illustated above (such as Album 3 and photos in there).
    Tried moving but Aperture does not allow. How can I correct it?

    Aha. I have figured out the problem. When I drag a version that is part of a stack to an album, the entire stack comes with it. What I want is only to drag the version. Once in the album, I can't delete the other versions in the stack and just keep the one I want. I can only keep or remove the whole stack.
    So I guess my question would now be how to move one and only one of several versions of the same master to an album without having all the others come along with it.
    Thanks for pointing out the Remove from Album command. I had not seen that before.

  • How can an Aperture slide show be burned to a DVD?

    I see Aperture can be exported to Facebook and Twitter or MobleMe for use by other "freinds" on their computers.  How can a Aperture produced Slideshow be provided to those that only can see the show on a tv set with a DVD player?  I want to use the editing feathers in Aperture and not be limited  to those available in the IDVD application. 
    Message was edited by: vaunfromsyracuse

    You can't do that with Aperture.
    What you can do is export your Slideshow as a Quicktime movie. You need a special application to create a DVD that can play in a DVD player. If you don't want to use iDVD use Toast or another such app.

    Word cannot store pictures - do you mean, how to use the photos in your iPhoto Library in Word documents?
    Use the Media Browser in Word - when you select to insert a photo, you can open the Media Browser like this and browse your photo libraries - iPhoto, Aperture, ...

  • How to move video inside LR 4?

    Hi
    Could anyone please explain to  me how to move a video, from one folder to another inside LR 4?
    I've moved pictures from one folder to another inside LR 4 several times before, I just marked the pics I wanted to move, and draged them to the desired folder, but I can't do it with these videos........
    The arrow in the left side , in folders, pointing to the folder I wish to move, is greyed out, as if something is wrong, can't figure out why.....
    If I right click on the selected videos, there's no "move" option.......

    Hi Victoria
    Thx for your reply :-)
    Actually I'm not able to drag and drop any of my video files anymore....must be something "newbie" stuff :/
    I've attached a screenshot, and the videos I want to move, are inside the ¨DIGITAL....¨ folder,  but as said, I'm not able to move them anywhere...... Could it be that I've ¨locked¨something when messing around in LR 4??
    The Greyed out arrow is normal, as I see it now...
    what could I possible be doing wrong here?

  • I can't figure out how to move my playlist folders to my iPod

    I have a 5th Generation iPod and I am using it with the latest version of iTunes on a dare I say it Windows machine.
    I organize my playlists in folders on my iTunes. When I sync to my iPod those folders do not carry over, but the playlists in those folders do not. I have sorted through the manual, the options on both iTunes and my iPod and this website, and for the life of me I can't even find a mention of how to move these folders over to my iPod.
    ANY help is apreciated.
    Thanks,
    Karl

    Although iTunes supports the use of folders in the manner you describe, unfortunately the iPod does not.
