Re-registering my copy of Aperture 3, help!

Hi
My MacBookPro has just developed video problems and so I am sending it back to Apple for a repair. In the meantime I have just purchased a new 21inch iMAC to allow me to continue working (drastic I know but I am in a bit of a fix!)
I managed to keep the Macbook Pro running with video long enough to transfer my user settings, apps and data across to the iMAC. When I went to run Aperture 3 I was prompted for a serial number. So I used the number provided to me by Apple for Aperture 3. Instead of working Aperture 3 just keeps telling me that the serial number is invalid. I've checked it over many times each time I have entered the number and it is the number I used to activate Aperture on my laptop. Does anyone know what I need to do to make Aperture work on my new iMAC?
Many thanks
Luc

Luc, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your licence allows you to run Aperture 3 on a laptop and a desktop so your plan to have Aperture on the iMac is valid from that perspective. Do you have a purchased boxed version of Aperture 3 as that’s the serial number you need to use. Or did you get the serial number by e-mail after purchasing the full version of Aperture 3 online (not the free trial)?

  • I am changing to a larger hard drive on my Mac. Can I copy the Aperture library from my backup disk running Time Machine without loosing anything?

    I am installing a larger harddrive on my Mac. Can I copy the Aperture library from my backup disk running Time Machine without loosing anything? I am getting help migrating everything else on to the new harddrive, but since copying the 350Gb Aperture library takes a lot of time, I am planning to do that part myself.

    I found the following information on Time Machine help about restoring Aperture library from TM
    Restoring Your Aperture System
    If you buy a new computer or use another system at a different location and want access to the Aperture library, you can install Aperture and then transfer the library from your vault (on your backup disk) to the other computer. If you experience equipment failure or other unexpected events, such as fire or weather-related damage to your equipment, you can easily restore the entire library to your new computer from a backup disk.

  • Using one copy of Aperture on two computers or more

    I have a registered copy of Aperture 1.5.6 and have downloaded the trial version of Aperture 2.
    I'm thinking of getting a MacBool Pro. My question:
    Will I be able to use my 1.5.6 disc on the MacBook Pro or will the disc only work on one computer. If I want to use Aperture 2 should I buy an actual disc to update on my current computer in the hope that I could also update to Aperture 2 on the MacBook Pro.
    OR is there a way to transfer all my applications (including Apertuer 2) from my G5 to the MacBook Pro.
    Hope you can make sense of this question! :o)

    I don't think it makes any difference. That sentence about a desktop and a laptop is just a legal description. Technically you can use the same serial number of Aperture on as many computers as you like. I don't think Apple bothers much what you write in the registration form, as long as it receives no more than two registrations per serial number.

  • How can I de register my copy of Logic studio for re-sale

    Hello,
    How can I de register my copy of Logic studio for re-sale.
    Its the latest version and I do not use it at all, I would like to de register it so I can sell it to someone who will have some use for it.
    Thanks in advance

    Think of this as your automobile.
    Do you want just anyone running down to the local license registrar and saying "oh I bought this new car and I want the title now in my name".
    You have to understand, with as many stolen devices as there must be floating around, the carrier needs some confirmation that previous owner intends for it to be moved. After all, it is their account.
     Still said, I know for a fact that O2 has done this in the past, and still will. If I were you, I would call back and use the suggestions above in speaking with them.

  • Registering my copy of E-Learning Suite vs 6.0 after install

    Can anyone tell me how to register my serial number on E-Learning Suite 6.0?
    I installed e-learning suite 6.0 on the 7 day trial, and now I want to go back and register it with the serial number.  The instructions say that I can register anytime by going to the help menu. However, I can't see anything under the Help Menu for registration.
    I am running this on Windows 8.1.
    The reason I am registering this old copy is that I have been using E-Learning suite on my MAC for the last two years, and now my MAC has died and my IT department insists I use windows.  The license came with both MAC and Windows serial numbers.

    There's no need to make this complicated. Adobe only sells current versions. Ever. If you need an older version, you might try your luck with a reseller. The otehr option might be volume licensing, since those users also get access to the previous version of the product. Otherwise spending a few bucks on an OSX system upgrade might be a less painful way of doing this and using the current version - if it's technically possible.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • I have registered my copy of CS4, but this does not allow me to use discounted price on my account

    I want to signup to Creative Cloud using the 40% discount. It states on the site to register one of the products to validate I do in fact have a previous valid version.
    I registered by going to Photoshop CS4 -> Help -> Register and filled it in. However the discount is not showing when I go to pay for the product.
    Please advise.

    Nobody can know. We do not know under which conditions your CS4 was purchased and whether it actually qualifies. it may have been under some special promo or licensing model and thus not be eligible. Either way, only sales support can give you a definitive anser, so use the web chat to contact them.

  • If I buy a copy of Aperture, how many macs can I install it on legally?

    I have an older version of Aperture on my Mac Mini which was my first mac. I'm migratiing over to all mac's (have a 21.5 in my office) and just purchased a 27 in iMac...
    Anyway I am going to buy Aperature for that mac which will be my home Mac taking the place of my Windows XP Photography Setup (etc), but can I buy a copy of Aperture for my office machine and also install it on a second or third computer like I did with iPhoto 11, Lion, etc??
    I tried searching for that information but could not find the specifics. I was pleasantly surpised when my purchase of Lion and iPhoto 11 covered two macs. I did not yet try to upgrade my wifes MacBook with Lion, but figured I would be allowed to install Lion and iPhoto 11 there as well.
    Any information?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    I found it LOL..

    Hi,
    the BP search is its own web client UI component. For the integration you could check any standard transaction UI component like the BT115H_SLSO, as those contain several partner fields.

    Where are you and where did you get the phone? All iPhones come with a 1 year warranty from the original date of sale.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and take it in for them to have a look at.

  • I just bought the book Christine, by Stephen King. I didn't realize that it's in German, which of course I don't know. I don't want my money back, just an English copy. Can anyone help me make this happen?

    I just bought the book Christine, by Stephen King. I didn't realize that it was in German. I don't want money back, only an English copy. Can anyone help me with this?

    Is the English-language version available in your country's store and if so is it the same price ? You will need to try contacting iTunes Support, either via the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) drop-down menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Or if the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Bill

    Downloaded from where? There is no serial number if you downloaded from the App Store.
    if you downloaded from the Apple Site and Aperture is installed you can get the serial number from the Preferences pane of Aperture. If it is not installed and you don't have the email sent to you with the serial number you can try Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
