Install Aperture 2 Academic over Aperture 1.5.6 Academic

Technically I suppose the software does not view this as an upgrade as the Academic versions have no upgrade path. What must I do to make the switch from 1.5.6 to 2 and retain the library links?
Thank you.

The Academic and Retail versions of Aperture are exactly the same. What differs is the license; you cannot buy an "upgrade" version of Aperture to upgrade Aperture 1.5 Academic.
But that's not what you're doing; you bought a full Academic version of Aperture 2.
As such, just install it and enter the license. You should be good to go, and Aperture will automatically upgrade your library on first run. I would recommend, of course, that you have a full backup (or vault) of the library before upgrading.

  • How to install Aperture 2 over Academic 5.1

    I have academic Aperture 1.5.6 installed on my 17" PB. I have purchased the full Aperture 2 since there is no academic upgrade. How do install Aperture 2 over Aperture 1.5.6. (There are no instructions in the material that came with Aperture 2.)
    Thank you,
    Susan

    Aperture is pretty much self contained. Just install it (or, if you prefer, delete Aperture 1.5 from your /Applications folder and then install Aperture 2).

  • How do I install Aperture 2.1 upgrade when I have 2.0 academic?

    How do I install Aperture 2.1 upgrade when I have 2.0 academic? I installed the disk and now it is just sitting on my desktop.  I don't think it actually installed?

    Is the upgrade Academic also? You can't upgrade an Academic version to a regular version.

  • Installing aperture 3 over aperture 2

    I am preparing to install Aperture 3 on my computer which has Aperture 2.  My Aperture 3 is not an upgrade disk.  Will it install a separate app or upgrade automatically?

    If Aperture 2 is in the default install location it will be overwritten by the newer version.

  • New Macbook Pro with Lion, installed Aperture - all photos disappear

    Just bought a MacBook Pro:
    2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1
    My old computer crashed so I transfered a folder full of photos to my computer inside of a Documents file.  Some of these photos came from my previous version of iPhoto and some of the were not imported into any program at all.  I want to clean and organize my photos before importing them into any program. I do not wish to create extra clutter on my computer by importing them at this time, being that I have a very clean machine at this time.
    So, I got Aperture, newest version (software updated as of this morning) and was planning to import my photos once I organized all of them.
    However, now that I've installed Aperture, the folder of my pictures that is located in My Documents is now reading that there are (0) photos, so I can't even organize them.  Also, if I run Aperture and try to import a photo, it doesn't recognize that any photos exist.
    Now, if I look up All My Files in the Finder window, it shows that I do infact have over 9k Images, most of these being my photos that are not showing up in their file folder.  Some of these however are not conventional photos but are PDFs that I do not wish to hang out in any photo organizing/editing program.
    So, why can't I see my photos so I can organize them via my Finder folder in My Documents when I recovered them from my old computer? 
    They were never imported into my new computer's iPhoto, nor were they ever imported into my new computer's Aperture.  But I can all of them in the All My Files?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I was able to find my photos, they were strangly refiled in a different file folder.
    Seems like Aperture is still having troubles populating the images, but I find if I open and close import, or close and repoen Aperture, then the photos will populate.
    Buggy though for sure.

  • Remote Disc not able to Install Aperture 2

    How can I install Aperture 2 on my MacBook Air? I receive an error message saying that installation can not occur over a network connection. I understood that using Remote Disc with the MacBook Air (without a DVD/CD drive) would take care of this.

    I installed Aperture 2 on my MacBook Air a few days ago (boxed UK educational package). I had no problem using Remote Disc. Making a disc image from the DVD and installing from the image also works.

  • After installing Aperture and leaving photos in iPhoto library, why did iphoto library size almost double?

    I installed Aperture and chose to leave all my images in the iPhoto library until I became more comfortable/familiar with Aperture.
    I was looking at my hard drive space and see that the available space went way down.  In Finder, the Aperture library.ap library is 17.97 gb and the iPhoto library is 122.75 gb.
    When I open iPhoto, it says that it contains 19349 images/87 gb.
    What happened?  Is that extra size related to the Aperture referencing the images?  Should I delete and start over, and move all the images into Aperture so that they are managed there?
    I'm just figuring my way around Aperture, and I'm trying not to over-think the organizational differences, but this size discrepancy seems a bit too much.

    I wish I had more info for this but I'm stumped. As I said there is no reason Aperture would increase the iPhoto library size by importing iPhoto's library.
    BTW how did you do the import, that might shed some light on the problem.
    The image count between the backup and the live iPhoto libraries seems fairly consistent so why the jump in size I can't say. And as for the increase in the number of images in Aperture, you started with an empty Aperture library, correct? And did you import anything directly into Aperture since you did the iPhoto import?
    I'm still a little confused on the whole thing where Aperture shows both original and edited versions of an image, and some show both RAW & JPEG versions of an image,
    Well Aperture really doesn't show both the original and edited versions, all you ever see are the versions unless you specifically ask to see the master. When you import an image into Aperture a version of the master is automatically made and displayed. Because at this point the version is no different then the master (you haven't made any adjustments to it yet) the version looks exactly like the master but it is the version you are seeing.
    As for the RAW & JPG thing, if you shoot both RAW + JPG's in your camera when you import them you have the choice of which to make the master or to make each one a master. Not sure if that is what you are referring to.
    I'm wondering whether I would have been better off just moving the whole iPhoto library into Aperture at the beginning, and deleting the iPhoto library.
    That is definitly one option and the option most users who switch eventually make. You're not going to want to have both programs handeling your photos. But you should probably hold off until you;re more omfortable with Aperture and make sure you have a good backup of the iPhoto library before you do anything.
    Remember when you import the iPhoto library into Aperture you're only choice is to copy the images not move them. This is done so that you can make sure all went OK before doing anything with iPhoto.
    If you have the room you could try bringing in the iPhoto library backup, and trying the import again into a new empty Aperture library.

  • I have recently installed Aperture 3.1 and my Canon MG 6150 is unable to print good quality photos from it I have to use iPhoto to produce good quality prints. o

    I have recently installed Aperture 3.1,  but my Canon MG6150 has been unable to print photos of good quality from the Aperture print engine
    and I have to return to iPhoto to obtain prints I am happy with.

    I have now to reply to my own question having later found a thread over another canon printer with the answer. In the second print dialog box you click on "show details" and then on "layout". The following schreen shots make this clear. The settings can then be saved as a preset.
    It's a pity the Canon helpdesk was not able to give me this information. I hope that this will help others with similar problems.

  • How can I install Aperture on my new Macbook Pro. I am up to date with my Mac Pro, I have the Aperture 1 and installation disks but cant remember how I got to 3. Can anyone help?  Many thanks regards Alf

    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  Alf

    Then 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

    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.

  • Hello everyone!  i have a new macbook pro and i want to download aperture.  my app store says it is already installed (on my old macbook pro).  how do i install aperture from the app store in this instance please?

    hello everyone!  i have a new macbook pro and i want to download aperture.  my app store says it is already installed (on my old macbook pro).  how do i install aperture from the app store in this instance please?

    Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
    You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

  • I have lost my Aperture 2 serial number how do I get a new one so that I can install Aperture 3 upgrade

    I have Aperture 2, changed my imac, used the backup system and found that I cannot find my serial number for Aperture 2. I have Aperture 3 upgrade, so can someone please advise how I get my serial number for Aperture 2 please. Hence I can not install Aperture 2, and therefore same problem not being able to install upgrade. Assistance would be much appreciated.

    I was having the same problem, unable to find my trash can. I did everythnig suggested in this post to no avail. Then I discovered if you hover to the far right of RECENT you will see either "Show" or "Hide"  "Show" reveals the following, including the trash. I'm sheepish that the solution was so easy but delighted to report that after viewing AND emptying my trash, I gained 55 GB on my HD.

  • I just bought a new iMac and only have the aperture cd, how do i install aperture 3 back to my new iMac

    i just bought my new imac but i only have the aperture 3 cd and do not have a drive how do i install aperture 3 or where do i download from and then just insert the cd key.

    You either burn a disk image of your CD (using Disk Utility) on a mac that still has a drive and transfer the disk image on a thumbs drive or network, or download the Aperture 3 Trial Installer.
    Download it here Aperture 3.1 Trial
    After running the Trial installer go immediately to Software update in the -menu, and only after updating to the most recent version launch Aperture and enter your registration code to unlock the Trial.  Then launch it by double clicking your Aperture Library or clicking the Aperture icon.

  • Can I install Aperture on an Iomega hard drive attached to my IMac and use it from there with iPhoto pix on the IMaac

    Can  I install Aperture on an external Ilmega hard drive attached to my IMac and run Aperture from there to use it with photos on my IMac iPhoto library?

    It's usually best to have applications on the boot drive, so I'd turn your idea around: run Aperture from the internal disk and park iPhoto and maybe iTunes libraries on an external - which would free up space on the internal.

  • Unable to install Aperture 3 after upgrade to OS X 10.8

    After upgrading to OS X 10.8, when I try to install Aperture, I keep getting this error message "To open Aperture, Installer must quit and reopen". I have the box version of Aperture 3, so it's version 3.0 and I will not be able to download the latest dmg off Mac App Store. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number from the boxed version:
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    To be able to run the installer in Mountain Lion you will have to change the System Preferences "Security & Privacy" temporarily to allow "Applications downloaded from anywhere"

  • How to install Aperture on Mac OS 10.6.8?

    how to install Aperture on Mac OS 10.6.8?

    But the current AppStore version needs MacOS 10.7.5 or 10.8.2; there is no way to install it on Snow Leopard. The Trial version can be installed, but you need to purchase a serial number, and that you will find only with the retail version in the box.

  • I have an iPhoto library with only Jpeg's in it. I just installed Aperture 3.5 and imported several RAW photos. Shouldn't I now have an Aperture library?

    I have an iPhoto library with only Jpeg's in it. I just installed Aperture 3.5 and imported several RAW photos in Aperture. Shouldn't I now have an Aperture library?

    Should I create an Aperture library and import all of my photos from iPhoto to the new Aperture library? Then delete my iPhoto library entirely?  Just trying to get my library structure correct from the get-go as I plan to shoot only in RAW.
    That is not an easy question. There are still a few glitches with the unified library approach. For example, the new iWork applications will not yet show the Aperture library in the Media Browser, only the current iPhoto library. If you are using iWork with your photolibrary, keep it an iPhoto library.
    And it is unclear, what will happen, when Aperture or iPhoto will be upgraded to newer versions. Right now you need the latest iPhoto version to be able to upgrade older iPhoto libraries, if you want to open them in Aperture. So probably you will need to upgrade iPhoto as well, if you keep your library an iPhoto library, when both Aperture and iPhoto will be upgraded to Aperture 4 and iPhoto 12.0 or similar. In the long run it will be safer to convert the library to an Aperture library, if you do not want to keep updating iPhoto, but that can wait.
    If you want to convert the iPhoto library to an Aperture library, back up your iPhoto library.
    Then create a new Aperture library (with File > Switch to Library > Other/New ) and then import your iPhoto library into Aperture using the command "File > Import > Library" and select your iPhoto library.
    You will need plenty of space on the drive with the new library. Merging a library into another one will  temporarily a lot of working space and may take a long time - several hours for a large library, without visible progress.
