Installing Aperture 2.1.3

I currently have Aperture 2.1.1 installed and today downloaded Update 2.1.3.
However, when I try to install the Update a dialog box appears which states "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update."
When I click on the 'CLOSE' button to close this box the installer quits and I cannot proceed further.
I have also downloaded Update 2.1.2 and the same problem occurs.
In order to download the Updates I had to enter my Aperture 2 serial number so that was clearly accepted and deemed to be in order.
Any ideas as to how I can resolve this problem.
Many thanks. Dave Hales

I too am having difficulty installing the Aperture trial. When I open the aperture2.1.3trial.dmg downloaded from the Apple site. It doesn't recognize it as a program, instead Im offered an apertureTrial.mpkg folder.
Aperture was pre-installed when I got it but a year ago but I Deleted it. Could this be the reason? Is the download just an update for the original program?
Also
After drudging through a load of posts recently someone was talking about starting it with installer.app but I cannot find that on my computer anywhere... Could this be the problem/solution?
Please help!!

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

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.

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"

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.

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.

I just upgraded OS X to 10.6.7 and now Aperture (3.1.2) won't launch. Any troubleshooting suggestions (short of re-installing Aperture)?

Help! I just upgraded my early 2008 MacBook Pro 4,1 from OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6.7. Everything appears to be working fine, except for Aperture 3.1.2, which won't launch - gives an error message which states that "there is a problem" and to "check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X" ( I have to admit I got a chuckle at that, since it's Apple's own effing product!). Any suggestions short of reinstalling Aperture?
Thanks,
John

Sorry you'll need to re-install Aperture see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3485
And while the web page mentions 10.6.4 it still holds for 10.6.7

May I install Aperture on my iMac and MacBookPro for one price?

May I install Aperture on my iMac and MacBookPro for one price?

Yes, Like Neil says.
However note that Aperture will not synch a Library between the two Macs. Huge flaw.

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.

I installed aperture 3 trial but its not working !

I need a help as I installed Aperture 3 (trail) but unfortunately when ever I click on the icon to start the program is appear in the tool bar for a moment then its disappear with opening the program.

missanoshka,
if you select the MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.5.dmg file which you’d downloaded, and press ⌘i to Get Info on it, what information is shown for it under ▼ General: Size? My initial guess is that you could have an incomplete download of that file.

After installing aperture, iPhoto won't open

After installing Aperture, iPhoto says it needs to be updated to open. When I run the updater, it says everything is up to date. Suggestons? thanks, Kevin

Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your Mac? Then you need to upgrade it from the AppStore, not from the Update menu.

Anyone tried to install Aperture on older G5/G4?

Has anyone tried to install Aperture on an older PowerMac G5 or PowerMac G4 that **has been upgraded** to a compliant graphics card? If anyone has had success in this regard and has done so on a PowerMac G4, could you also indicate whether or not you're using a processor upgrade?
I know the compatibility checker indicates such installations won't work, but it's important someone actually tries it for real -- maybe someone who has Aperture on a supported machine but also an unsupported one sitting around.

How do you know? And, if you don't own or have access to unsupported hardware or know of a case where someone has failed or succeeded in installing the actual application on unsupported hardware, I have to wonder why you submitted this "answer"; it's not helpful.
Since I made the original post I found, thanks to MacSurfer, a blog in which the author of the blog reported he had succeeded in installing the application on a PowerMac G4 that did not have Core Image support -- a 2003 G4 with "1.4GHz dual processors" (so I assume the 1.42GHz dual Firewire 800 model), and a boring old Radeon 9000 video card. The only requirements he officially met were the 1GB of RAM and 5GB of hard drive space. If this is a) true and b) typical, it means that not only is the application not blocked against certain processors or systems (not too surprising), it is also not blocked against non-Core Image graphics cards (a huge surprise to me).
http://creativebits.org/photography/aperturehits_thestreets
I'd like to know if this is strictly an accident (or a hack) or if it is indeed widespread. As someone with a 1.2GHz G4 who is considering putting in a 256MB VRAM Radeon 9600, chances are I could run this application quite comfortably if this report is accurate and did not involve a hack.
