I purchased Aperture 3 before the app store, where to download?

Hi all,
I recently put a fresh install of OS X on my Mac after upgrading my hard drive. I've reinstalled most of my software but I'm having a hard time tracking down Aperture. I purchased it from Apple as a download prior to the app store coming into existence, and it looks like Apple has shut down the trial version which used to be the delivery mechanism. Where can I get it without having to repurchase it on the App store?

There is no longer a trial version of Aperture available. Do you still have a copy of your Trial-installer somewhere on your backup? Then use that to reinstall Aperture. Or if you have a backup of your previous system (Time Machine or clone) you can try to reinstall Aperture from that using the Migration Assistant - this will spoil your clean install however.
Some posters reported, that they found Aperture in the "Purchases" section of the "AppStore" after signing into the AppStore with the AppleID they used to buy Aperture with, ready to be accepted, because they had registered their Aperture version. If you see Aperture there, simply accept it and download again.
Your only other option is to contact Apple with a "Proof of purchase" and ask for a copy of the Trial Installer.

HT202152 I need a receipt for a purchase I made in the App Store - where do I find it?

Apple doesn't e-mail me a receipt, apparently. The only record I see that I bought an app is in the Purchases page. What do I do if I need to file away a receipt for tax purposes?
Thanks in advance, and apologies if it's obvious and I'm just not seeing it...

How do I get Aperture 3 when purchased before the App Store?

In 2010, I had downloaded the Trial verion of Aperture 3. I decided to buy it digitally and paid the $99.00 (at that time.) I still have the email from Apple confirming the purchase of the Aperture 3 Trial Upgrade. It worked fine and had all the necessary updates until last weekend. Friday I sufferd a hard drive failure and lost everything. Should have backed up stuff!! So now I am trying to get the program back, but since it was purchased before the App Store, it isn't on file for download. The Apple website doesn't support the trial download any longer. It refers me back to the Mac App Store where it is expecting me to pay for it. I sent a support email asking Apple, but they just confirmed that it wasn't available on the Mac App Store. Thanks. Any suggestions?

David,
Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number

Why do I have to buy an application twice? Once before the App store and now after the App store has the same application - Aperture

I have Aperture on my MacPro that was purchased before the App store was born. IT has been updated to the current version now. I also put it on my MacBookPro but it won't accept the same license - says it is invalid license. When I go to the App store, it says I can downlowd it for another $79.99, but if I try to do that, it says I already have Aperture on my laptop. So, I am stuck in a catch 22.

Nevermind. After reading other similar posts I think I figured it out. I'll have to delete my version of Aperture on my laptop and then reinstall from the App store - although I think I will still have to purchase again.

Everytime I try to purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store it tells me that iTunes has changed their terms and agreements and I need to first read and agree to them before I can proceed. It never pulls up the terms and agreement window to read?

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.

How To Create A Re-Installable Version Of Aperture 3 From The App Store?

Hi...
Another question regarding Aperture 3 and the App Store.
In the FAQ section of the Apple site it says this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4461
"How do I back up my purchases?
We recommend backing up the contents of your Mac regularly, including photos, purchased movies, TV shows, and apps, to ensure that you can easily recover them in the event of a loss. If you need to recover a previously purchased app from the Mac App Store, you can redownload it if it is still available."
The important bit for me is... "if it is still available".
So... having bought the software... that I own, I can only install / reinstall it for as long as Apple keep it in the App Store. I'm pretty sure Aperture 3 will disappear as soon as Aperture 4 appears, so are we all only ever locked into effectively RENTING the software with the ability only to re-install for a limited duration? (Rhetorical).
Therefore my question is:
How can I create a re-installable version, so that if I need to re-install Aperture, but it's no longer available in the App Store, then I can still re-install the software that I've bought and that I own?
Thanks for the help,
Clown Guy

Hi Clown Guy,
How can I create a re-installable version, so that if I need to re-install Aperture, but it's no longer available in the App Store, then I can still re-install the software that I've bought and that I own?
The App Store also says you can use the app on another computer merely by copying it to another machine. I believe people here have had success in doing that. I believe you can back up that Aperture app package and just drop it back in to the new computer, but I've never had the cause to do such a thing. The app is all you would need to "reinstall", although it isn't truly an installation program at that point. On the other hand, other people have not had success in doing that.

HT1338 i have a really old mac book with mac osx 10.6 and I cant purchase mountain lion in the app store. it says its not compatible with this computer. what can i do

I have been trying to purchase mountain lion from the app store and it doesnt let me. I keep getting mobile me in the system preferences and i want to upgrade so i can link this mac book with my icloud account and devices. How can I uograde to mountain lion?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest models capable of running 10.8:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
If your computer is incapable of running 10.8 but has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB RAM, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

HT203421 I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening

I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with. This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

An app I purchased and downloaded directly to my Ipad is missing and not in my app files on my PC. When I go to the app store to re-download it I can not the says I have already downloaded it. How do I get my app back?

You should be able to copy it from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, or you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store home page - if that says that it's already downloaded, then that implies that it's already on your computer

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde

I purchased an application from the app store and the app is not working,How do I get a refund ?

First, contact the developer of the app and ask for assistance. Then if you cannot get the problem resolved, go to the following link, explain the reason for your request, including that the developer was unable to solve the problem, and ask:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
Though a refund is not guaranteed, it's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.
