Procedure for Reinstalling Aperture

Anytime I take the focus off of Aperture it unexpectedly shuts down. I submitted a bug report over two months ago, but no solution has come forth from Apple. I am ready to reinstall the product. It came pre-installed, but I do have the installation disk and serial number. What is the proper procedure for reinstalling this software to avoid problems with the connection to my current image vault, etc.?

Re-installing isn't likely to do anything.
A better bet would be to delete com.apple.aperture.plist from ~/Library/Preferences (this will delete all your settings in the preferences window) and the Aperture folder from ~/Library/Application Support which will delete all your presets, added keywords, edited keyboard shortcuts, auto-fill lists, metadata views, metadata presets and adjustment presets.
It's probably worth backing up these files, so that you can replace them if this doesn't solve anything.

Do I need to follow a procedure for reinstalling acrobat 7.0 professional?

I need to perform a system recovery on my laptop and I wonder if I am going to have any issues reinstalling acrobat 7.0 professional.

Or if you can deactivate before the recovery it might do the job. Sometimes a recovery is not needed, but you can reinstall the OS without recovery. To do that you will find instructions on the new, but if you follow the install button rather than recovery you should reach a screen that gives you a choice to reinstall or repair. The repair is more likely what you want. In that case, system files are replaced, but your system retains most other parts of your setup.
Here is a link with directions for XP (Note the page where it says to NOT use the restore). http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/instxprepair1.htm
Similar processes are available for Win 7. The steps that MicroSoft provides that suggest to use Restore to repair your machine are misleading. The repair you want is part of the install process (review the screen shots in the line). I have done this several times and it is a life saver for someone like me who has a lot of software that is not part of the original installation included in the system -- in fact most of the software I use regularly.

How to properly reinstall Aperture

Good morning to you all;
I have been using Aperture for over a year and like the way it works. However, lately one of my plug-ins started acting strange and since me and the developer have exhausted all solutions, I would like to reinstall Aperture and see if it helps. As my library holds 15000+ pictures (98% of them referenced) and is around 60GB in size, I have a lot to lose.Mind you, I have it double backed up, but still would like to do the reinstall properly. *Could you pls advise me as to how to properly reinstall Aperture?* Thank you

Jade; thank you for your reply. I, indeed, only wanted to reinstall Aperture. No reimporting etc. Too much work. In the mean time I found the below info which covered all my questions. My problem is that when I select (cherry pick) several photos (lets say 80+) and try to upload them via Aperture to Picasa Web Plug in from Ubermind, the plug in tries to log in and then freezes. I am talking to their support guys and they are in deed very fast in replying. I just wanted to have a clean reinstall of Aperture to make sure there was no corruption.Any ideas are more then welcomed.
For reinstalling Aperture, I found these tips:
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Aperture. To do this
effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then
install Aperture and use Software Update to install additional updates. You
don't have to remove everything that was installed with Aperture. Follow
the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Aperture.
Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs nearby before
starting this.
1. Open the Applications folder.
2. Drag the Aperture application to the Trash.
3. Go to /Library/Receipts.
4. In the Receipts folder, select the "Aperture.pkg" and
"ApertureSampleProjects.pkg" files. Note: If you have Aperture 1.5
also select the "PluginManager.pkg" file.
5. Drag the those .pkg files to the Trash.
6. Insert your Aperture installation disc and install Aperture.
7. When finished, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu to
update your software to the latest version.
For further information on settings or installation, please refer to the
Aperture documentation available on your installation discs.

Thank you all for help

Reinstalling Aperture 3

I have been using Aperture 3 for about a week now with no issues. I formatted my drive last night and I reinstall Aperture 3. I then used time machine to restore the pictures folder that contains all my pictures and the Aperture 3 library. When I open Aperture one Project seems to be bad, of course it's the one that contains 90% of my work. When I click on a photo in the project a box outline and the name of each photo shows in the browser but no image. Each one has a yellow exclamation mark. If I select locate referenced file it says the selection doesn't have any referenced file. Similar message if I select update from master. The master files exist, in the same folder as before. I tried deleting the library and importing from the backup library, but same problem. I tried older backups, but same problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My original installation of A3 was storing photos externally. When I reinstalled A3 it defaulted (or I set it, not sure which) to copy photos into A3 library. Because of this, A3 could not find the photos (which were external. So nothing wrong with A3, just had to make a change in the settings.
Thanks

Reinstalled Aperture after a computer erase and re-install and now it will not open. Anyone have a solution? I'm operating on 10.6.8 and have an older version of Aperture (2010)

I re-installed Aperture after a computer erase and disk repair. Reinstalled from my back-up hard drive using migration assitant. Now it will not open. The message I get is this: Aperture cannot b opened because of a problem. Then goes on to say "check with the developer blah blah blah..." even though this is an Apple product. These are the things that drive me to distraction. Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion for a fix??

Your Aperture version?
Is your signature Mac OS X (10.4) current?
Reinstalled from my back-up hard drive using migration assitant. Now it will not open.
Aperture is best be reinstalled by running the installer, not by migrating.
Before you spend money, reinstall Aperture from your installation media (or from the Trial version download Aperture 3.1 Trial , if you are running Aperture 3)
Then update it immediately from the Apple  menu> Software update, launch it, and enter your serial number(s).
Are you really sure that there is no crash log?
The message you are quoting is usually a part of the crash report, when Aperture crashes directly on opening. Do you see this?
Aperture cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install available updates for the application and OS X.
This report will be sent to Apple automatically.
And what we would need to see, are the first 50 lines of the "This report ...."

Re-install procedure for Premiere Pro CS 5.5

My instalation of Win7 Premiere Pro CS 5.5 is corrupted and I have lost the ability to handle HD files/projects. I can still process SD projects. I have also lost the ability to capture HD video over Firewire (no video, only sound) and I can't work with my earlier completed HD projects. I can't export work areas.
I don't know how to resolve this problem. I have tried rolling back Windows without success. Any suggestions?
I think I need to reinstall Premiere Pro CS5.5
Is there a detailed procedure for the efficient removal and reinstalation.of Premiere Pro using my CS5.5 CDs.
Roger

If you are going to re-Install Premiere on the SAME computer, would it not be better to suspend activation to avoid using an activation "life"?
Indeed a post in this thread
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3650498
by an Adobe staff member who was involved in setting up the activation system, states that if you are re-installing on the same computer, there is no need to de-activate , and no "life" will be used up.
Hunt thinks that we have 8 lives, I am sure I was once told by Adobe support that we have 20.

Problems reinstalling Aperture

I first installed Aperture 2.1.1 (dvd) on a Macbook Pro running os x 10.5.8.
I then purchased the dvd to upgrade to Aperture 3 and I recently downloaded the update 3.1.2 (no more updates available for os x 10.5).
I just installed os x 10.6 (sorry for delay) and updated it to 10.6.8, and here is the problem: Aperture doesn't open anymore.
I tried to disinstall Aperture following these steps (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805):
" On Mac OS X v10.6. Snow Leopard:
Open the Applications folder.
Drag the Aperture application to the Trash.
Open the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
Open the Terminal application.
On the command line, type the below command (which is case-sensitive) and then press Return: sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Aperture
When prompted, enter your user password and press Return.
Insert your Aperture disc and install Aperture.
When finished, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu to update your software to the latest version.
For further information on settings or installation, please refer to the Aperture documentation available on your installation discs. "
but, after typing " sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Aperture ", and putting the password, I get the following error:
Unknown error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 UserInfo=0x10025f3d0 "“com.apple.pkg.Aperture.bom” couldn’t be removed.".
Forgot package 'com.apple.pkg.Aperture' on '/'.
Does anyone know what I should do? Can I go on reinstalling Aperture 2 and then upgrade to 3 using the dvd I have or may I have some problems in the future?
Really appreciate any help.
Ric

After upgrading to os x 10.6.8, I opened Aperture (version 3.1.2) and got a message saying Aperture and the os x were not compatible.
Ric, did this message contain something like "certificate expired"? The older installers on the installation media sometimes are not accepted by the newer MacOS versions - security issues. If this happens again, change the date in the System Preferences, so MacOS thinks it is still before February 2012, then the installer should work.
But great that you could solve your issue, and now have a working Aperture 3 installation!

If you purchased Aperture from the Mac App Store, just RE-DOWNLOAD it, from the Mac App Store. The re-download should be FREE.

Yes. You can redownload apps from the Mac App Store as long as the app remains available. You may be asked to enter the Apple ID and password you initially used to download the app.

Reinstall Aperture 3 to be legal

I was using Aperture 2 illegally, I didn't pay for it. I purchased Aperture 3, installed it and moved 27,000 photos easily. After I was done I realized I was not asked to enter the serial number. I am thinking my Aperture 2 was upgrade with the borrowed serial number. I want to use the serial number I purchased so Aperture 3 is properly registered. Can I delete Aperture 3, keep the updated library and reinstall Aperture 3? Is the library a standalone database that will work with the newly installed Aperture 3? Thanks for your thoughts.

Suggested procedure for safe updating of Safari to v. 3.2

If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Safari 3.2 for download can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the standard procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now both Tiger and Leopard uses Safari 3.2. If Safari 3.2 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as Safari 3.x uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back in a new thread for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.2.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to 2008-007, which is required for Safari 3.2. Like all security updates, these require a restart and a permission repair. Note that 2008-007 is a combo update: if you have missed a couple of updates this one will suffice.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Please do not respond to this post if you are having difficulties, or ask your questions in somebody else's thread, but start your own thread where your particular problem can get the full attention it deserves.

Bump.
Upgrading PithHelmet stopped my crashing.

Proper procedure for restoring "Connection/Sync" of Apple TV to iTunes

I had a major issue with my Mac. Disk space was dynamically going missing, so i gave up after not being able to solve and bought a new 1TB disk. Reinstalled OSX, and started fresh.
For iTunes, i have always had luck with this restore procedure for the library, etc:
1) Drag and drop all things under Username/Music from old drive to new location.
2) Copy .plist files for iTunes to new install.
3) Launch iTunes. All is good.
now, for Apple TV.... i've had issues with this before.
I need to reestablish this mac as the "owner" or whatever of the Apple TV. I need to ensure the content on the ATV remains and that if i buy something here, it will sync (if selected, etc) to the ATV.
What is the proper procedure for this?
Only thing i care is that the content on the ATV now is still in tact.
Any help?

I'm pretty conscientious about adhering to the terms and conditions laid down by , but I don't believe they would stand in the way of someone recovering irreplaceable photos and home videos for example. I've posted this before and to my knowledge not had it removed, so below I've posted a link to one of the ways of recovering your data from the tv.

How do I reinstall Aperture with only serial number?

I had to have a new hard drive installed and due to software corruption on my old drive I had to erase any software. My photo library was in Aperture and I can not access any of my images. I upgraded from a free trial and only have a serial number for version 3.2.4. How do I reinstall Aperture without having to repurchase the download? Thank you for any advice!

Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can install Aperture 3 from this link, then unlock it with your serial number:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
Then use software update to upgrade to 3.3.
Keep a copy of the Trial installer, just in case you ever need to reinstall.

Léonie
