HT3805 Aperture keeps asking me to register.  I register and it runs fine.  But then when I rerun Aperture, it asks for me to register again.

This is a replacement serial number that I am typing in.  I got it from a technician and was told to use it rather than my old serial number.  I would appreciate some help on this.

First of all, are you entering your serial number from an administrator account, or from a plain user account? If you enter the serial number as a regular user, Aperture cannot write the registration to the system library, and you will have to enter it again, when you log in again.
Also, you may have a corrupted "ProAppSystemID" file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
     Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.

  • Keep asking for my serial number again and again

    Have just installed CS5 , all paid up, all signed up, all numbers given and verified, but.....nothing CS5 works, all keep asking for my serial number again and again, accept and verify number is correct, adobe tells me I'm all up and good and running, then screen tells me I'm not licensed so it closes down. same in InDesign, and Photoshop. What the hell is going on Adobe??????

    Could be a permissions problem, so the licensing never can persistently verify the serial and create the necessary key files. Try creating another user account with admin privileges and run it from there, then check the settings on your existing account and the pertinent user data folders.

  • Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number

    Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number, but only on one of my Macs. This is a new Mac that I restored from my old Mac. It made sense to have to put in the documentation the first time, but the program keeps asking for it. Any thoughts?

    Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
    Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library; this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
    SInce you migrated your system from another mac, you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppsSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.

    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see ProAppsSystemID there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps.
    Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearing the /tmp directory.

  • I want to register my iPod with iTunes but the registration firm keeps asking for a postcode but there is no field to enter it, although there is an arrow showing where the error is but still no field for entry. Any suggestions how to get past this ?

    I want to register my iPod with iTunes but the registration form keeps asking for a postcode but there is no field to enter it, although there is an arrow showing where the error is but still no field for entry. Any suggestions how to get past this ?

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.

  • I cannot get the verification email to arrive in my inboxes and when I choose the security question options it tells me my birthdate is incorrect and I know it it not Help trying to reset my iPad to factory settings and keeps asking for a password I can't

    I am trying to put my ipad back to factory settings and it keeps asking for my original Id which is the reason I am needing to reset it.  When I try to do this via password prompts it asks for my date of birth which I enter correctly and it tells me it is incorrect and then trying the email route this does not send any emails to the registered accounts I set up originally - help!!

    My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
    AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
    ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
    Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
    Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
    ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
    So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
    My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
    Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

  • Keychain keeps asking for my password

    Hi,
    I downloaded a twitter application Natsulion, and keychain access keeps asking for my password. I tried looking in keychain access application for where the password is stored but I don't see it in there. I tried doing keychain first aid but that didn't fix the problem.
    I'm having this problem in other applications too.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pete

    we're having the same problem. Having to re-authorize Aperture every time it launches. Not just Aperture but ALL programs with accounts (ie iTunes, Photoshop...)

  • Creative Suite 6 Design Standard (for Mac) keeps asking for the Serial Number ... over and over!

    My iMac has a well-installed Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. I have a valid serial (purchased it) and it works fine. Every couple of months though the Adobe Application Manager pops up and asks me wether I want to continue the test-period or if I am willing to enter the serial number. So I dig into my papers and get the serial number out ... it is accepted every time and works fine then. But after some time - there we go again: I have to enter the number.
    I faced this issue a while ago and read that it was recommended to update the Application Manger - which I did. But ... still being bothered by these kinds of questions from time to time.
    What can I do?

  • It keeps asking for e-mail address to sign in

    when trying to sign in it keeps asking for my e-mail and password

    Hi Mandy2010 and rpatrick!
    Unfortunately, you can't sign in without using your e-mail address. I believe you are using e-Print. If so, then it is necessary to register your device in order to use the app. 
    When putting the e-mail address you have to register your printer to HP in HP's website. The link will be provided down below. The main purpose for registering your device is to check what printer you have, so then it can identify it and can allow you to have access to the printer.

    Hope this information helps!

  • Why does App Store on iOS keeps asking for another user's iTunes credentials?

    I recently helped a friend activate her iPhone 5. She used to have an iPhone 4S which I helped her do a backup on my Macbook. After backing up her iPhone 4S, I restored her iPhone 5 with the backup. Because her SIM card was not the correct size, I used my own SIM card to activate the phone as well.  But now there is a very weird issue where if she downloads certain apps from the App Store, it would ask for my Apple ID credentials instead of her's. I tried signing out of the App Store and having her sign in. But every time I download a certain app, it keeps asking for my credentials. Very strange.  Any one know of how to fix this?  PS: iCloud is also signed in with her credentials.

    Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
    It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

  • How do i change my telephone numbers keeps asking for a valid one??

    how do i change my telephone numbers keeps asking for a valid one??

    If you simply chose the wrong phone number setting Messages up on the iMac you just go back into it's settings and choose the right number.
    If your iPhone number is not showing up under the preferences for Messages and FaceTime on your iMac you are logged into the wrong Apple ID on the iMac or your iPhone is not registered to that ID. With the info you give it sounds like you have multiple users using the same Apple ID in which you would have multiple phone numbers listed under the preferences on the iMac and iPhone.
    I have found iCloud, Messages and Factime are easiest setup as each user having their own Apple ID. That's not to say it is impossible for multiple users to use one Apple ID. First you have to sign into the Apple ID on your iPhone which will register the number to that account. Set your iPhone's Messages and Facetime Settings to use it's phone number for send and receive. Then it should appear when you are trying to setup Messages on the iMac. Each user using the same Apple ID will have to be using their own numbers or email address so you may have to have other users uncheck your number. The problem with this setup is it is easy for others to start receiving your messages.

  • Why does it keep asking for my password ?

    Why does it keep asking for my password when i open the APP STORE ? Theres no updates and i aint downloading anything. Any help ? Thanks.

    It shouldn't really ask you anything. One way to possibly forestall this from happening again would be to register and enter your own ID and password. The system won't ask you for anything else, since it has all the user info it needs.
    When is it asking you questions? When the App Store opens? When you click on hyperlinks to documents?

  • Urgent help required - linked subreport keeps asking for parameter value

    Greetings,
    I have developed a report in the Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio 2005. The data is obtained from a stored procedure. One of the fields in the result set is named "Id".
    I have embedded a subreport in the details row of the main report. The subreport also gets its information from a stored procedure. This stored procedure has one parameter named "OpportunityId". This field is linked to the field named "Id" above. the subreport has been set to supress blank subreports.
    In the development environment and running the executable of the application on the development machine the report works perfectly. The subreport displays as it should and all is well.
    When I deploy the report onto user machines where they have the crystal runtime installed, the report keeps asking for a parameter value for the subreport.
    I cannot get this to stop happening.
    This report is urgently required. PLEASE could someone help me out here.
    I am at my wits end.
    I have attached a zipe file containing the following:
    - the two stored procedure
    - the rpt file
    - a sample report
    - a screen showing the report having just been generated
    Thanks in advance,

  • ICloud Restore stuck - keeps asking for old Apple ID

    Hello,
    I've just gotten a iPhone 4S that I want to restore from an iCloud backup (I've had a 3GS previously). Unfortunately I'm running into problems as the restore process just doesn't finish. Some settings are restored just fine (contacts, messages, browser history, ...) while others are causing problems. In particular the photos & apps are not being downloaded. Apps are recognized but just sit on my screen "waiting".
    I suspect that the cause for all this is that the last backup is from March 2012 (my 3GS died then) and in the meantime I've changed my Apple ID. During the restore it keeps asking for my old Apple ID, which is not longer active & I cannot log into.
    Now I'm stuck since the phone decides to set the iCloud account to the old one and this cannot be changed as it tells me that I cannot delete the iCloud account during a restore is in progress...
    Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Unforunately I don't have an iTunes backup and I really don't want to lose my data (especially the photos).
    Cheers,
    Florian

    The solution to fix this mess was to temporarily change my AppleID name back to the one that was active when the iCloud backup was being made.
