Upgrading Aperture to 3.6 for Yosemite.

I am on a late 2012 Macbook Pro and do all my photo work on it. I am very happy with Aperture 3.51. I would like to finally upgrade to Yosemite from Mavericks. I have held off due to the wifi and boot camp problems I have read about. Now with the latest realeas of Yosemite I would like to upgrade to stay current. Apple has taken Aperture of the App store and I can't find anywhere else I can get the update to Aperture 3.6. I am totally happy with aperture and if I need more I use photoshop. I have an extensive library of aperture files as I have been using it from day one. I do not want to or need to migrate to lightroom or any other App. If Aperture 3.6 was released for us people who want to continue to use it, why is it no longer available. I have never been so disappointed in Apple. I don'e want to use Photos and I don't want to loose adjustments to thousands of photos or spend the time to change them all to tiffs.
Is there anyway I can still get the update? I would have downloaded the update earlier but being incompatible with Mavericks it the App store wouldn't let me download it for future use. Please help if you can.

Did you ever buy or update Aperture from the App Store? If you never did (if you only ever installed from CDs), then you may have trouble finding it in the App Store. I think there are a few threads in this site which work around that issue.
I was able to download Aperture from the App Store with my 10.10.2 system, but it wouldn't run until I upgraded to 10.10.3. I may suggest cloning your hard drive, then upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3 and trying Aperture 3.6. If for some reason it doesn't work out for you or you can't get it from the App Store, wipe the drive and restore your Mavericks system from the clone.
But don't rush into it, because downloads from the App Store are still verrrrrry slow. It took me several days on a 50mbps connection to download 10.10.3

Aperture update Retail DVD for Yosemite

Hello. I have an old Aperture 3 retail DVD, never bought the programme on the app store. Now I have updated my MBP to yosemite and I am stuck with version 3.4.5 and cannot open the programme anymore on my laptop. It tells me to update to 3.4.6, which I can't since I only have the retail but no app store purchase.
Has anyone an idea how to update to the final update for yosemite? I do not want to rebuy the whole programme since it will vanish within the next two months.
Please help!
Best from Germany.

I had to change the region and language to US/english and restarted the machine.
That is still going on?
I really thought that bug (Aperture update only being able to be downloaded with the region and language set to US/English) had been fixed after the Aperture 3.5.1 update last year. Thanks for letting us know, that this is still the solution to get the update done.
I do not want to rebuy the whole programme since it will vanish within the next two months.
Aperture may vanish from the App Store and Apple will not develope it further, but it will still be supported and remain working during the life cycle of Yosemite and probably longer. You can enjoy it, as long as you are running a compatible operating system.

Aperture 3.6 update for Yosemite is out!

Check the software update!
Also iPhoto 9.6.

First observations with Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite:
There is a lot of initial background processing going on each launch: face detection, preview creation, syncing with iCloud.
I don't see any changes to the graphical user interface.
My Canon EOS 5D Mk II raw files and the Lumix FZ28 DNG files are looking very different now. The colors are more vibrant and the images are brighter; I'd even say overexposed.
The changed RAW processing is surprising, since the release notes do not mention it: Aperture 3.6 Release notes
Aperture 3.6 Update
Adds compatibility with OS X Yosemite.
Fixes an issue that could cause Aperture performance to slow down while browsing through images with onscreen proofing enabled.
Fixes an issue where Aperture could become unresponsive in rare cases when adding to a shared photo stream.
Fixes an issue that could cause Aperture to unexpectedly quit when using the Write IPTC Metadata to Originals feature.
Aperture no longer displays the alert, “This library has been opened with a newer version of Aperture.” when using Library First Aid with libraries previously opened in iPhoto.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 and have just upgraded my Mac operating system to Yosemite with the newest version of Java 2014 running. When I try to access Photoshop from Bridge or directly open it asks for a Legacy Version of Java 6. As I am a pensioner I cannot afford an upgrade does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?

Hi Daddyfred,
CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.

Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

Thanks.

Can you give us the exact error message you get?

How do I upgrade iPhoto for Yosemite?

How do I upgrade iPhoto for Yosemite 10.10.3?

You ned to upgrade or update iPhoto 9.6.1 with Yosemite 10.10.3, and that update version is only available from the App Store.
It will depend on the iPhoto version you own, if you still can update to a Yosemite compatible version. If you have any version of iPhoto '11, and it is listed at the Appstore among your purchases, you can move the incompatible version to the Trash and reload the appStore Purchases page with ⌘R. Then try, to reinstall from that page.
If you own an older iPhoto version, you cannot update it, you need to buy iPhoto '11, bu apple is no longer selling it. And the retail versions on iLife installer CDs are not compatible with Yosemite.

Legacy Java SE 6 runtime upgrade for Yosemite problem

I've upgraded my old iMac successfully to Yosemiti 10.10.1, but when I try to open Adobe InDesign CS4 it's telling me I need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. I download JavaForOSX2014-001.dmg as instructed, but when I try to open it I get...
'The following disk images couldn't be opened. Reason: Image not recognised.'
Any thoughts welcome - I am not highly technical!

Appears to be a corrupted download. DL it directly from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 and try installing it.

How can I get Aperture 2 to work under Yosemite operating system

I updated to Yosemite and now Aperture 2.x won't work

You can't use Aperture 2 with Yosemite. Only Aperture 3.6 will work.
Either buy the Aperture 3.6 upgrade from the App Store, or downgrade again, if you have a full backup of your system: OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
The last compatibility upgrade for Aperture 2 has been for MacOS X 10.6.8. All later MacOS X version had compatibility issues with Aperture 2.

Aperture 3 keeps asking for my serial numbers every time I launch it.

I'm writing this not because I have this problem (though I did have it) but because I couldn't find a direct answer here in Apple Support Communities but did eventually solve it.
After purchasing a new iMac to replace an aging MacBook Pro, I tried copying the original ProAppsSystemID file in /Library/Application Support/ProApps from the old to the new system, hoping that would transfer my Aperture license. That didn't work (for me), though Aperture continued working on the old MacBook Pro. I went digging and found my original Aperture activation keys (original and upgrade), entered those on the new iMac, and was finally able to launch Aperture 3 on the iMac.
My problem was that Aperture kept asking me for my serial number every time I launched it. I had originally purchased Aperture 2 and then purchased the Aperture 3 upgrade. As it should, when I supplied my Aperture 3 activation key, it noted that was for an upgrade and prompted me to enter my original key. After supplying my original Aperture 2 (full license, not an upgrade) key, it would continue and launch.
I could then use Aperture just fine, as before, however, its "About" window showed that it was "unlicensed". The next time I'd re-launch Aperture (after quitting it, obviously), I would have to go through the same process, supplying first my Aperture 3 upgrade key and then my Aperture 2 key, before it would finish launching.
I tried everything I could think of: uninstalling and reinstalling Aperture 2, upgrading again to Aperture 3, deleting Aperture preference files, and so on. I tried logging in as root and repeating everything. I tried "repair disk permissions". Nothing helped!
What seemed to fix my problem was going back into /Library/Application Support/ProApps and renaming "ProAppsSystemID" to "ProAppsSystemID xxx", relaunching Aperture 3, and entering the activation keys one last time. At that point, the "About" box properly indicated my version was licensed, and I was able to exit and re-launch Aperture without being prompted!
Although my problem is solved, I'm still a but mystified, however, because the file named "ProAppsSystemID xxx" is still there, its modification date is unchanged from when I renamed it, and a new "ProAppsSystemID" file has not appeared in that directory.
Also, it's a shame that Aperture's licensing is so fragile that this problem should arise at all. If there was something wrong with my system ID file, Aperture should have opened an error dialog or at least noted something in the system log. (It didn't, I checked.) Apple really should fix that. And here I thought only Adobe shipped egregiously stupid upgrade/licensing logic...

Thanks - this worked for me too - you saved me alot of heartache and wasted time :-)

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

No more scanning after upgrading to MacOS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"

Hi, I've got a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 (N911a)--connected via ethernet adapter to my LAN--which worked just like a charm up to MacOS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"); printing, scanning, faxing: no hassle there! Since upgrading to MacOS X 10.10 ("Yosemite") I can't scan anything anymore, I'm kept being told that no scanner is available, albeit the printer is still working. Btw. the fax has disappeared as well. Scouting The Net, digging up various bits & bobs were to no avail. Any ideas who to resolve this one? - M.

Hi I would like to help you scan from your HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 (N911a) to your newly upgraded mac OS X. Please complete the following steps and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Reset Printing SystemClick the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…Click OK to confirm the reset.Type the correct Name and Password.Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selectedNote: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol. Repair Disk PermissionsOn the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.Double-click Disk Utility.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window. Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and download and install the HP Printer Drivers for OS X. Now when you add the printer, you should have the HP driver to choose. If for any reason your printer driver is not there, then select the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver (or AirPrint) Please let me know how this works out. If you require further assistance I will happily do all I can to help. For those of you with an HP printer with no full feature software and drivers, this document explains how to scan a document from a Mac running Yosemite. Although a full feature Yosemite driver is not available to download for your printer, you can scan from the Mac with the driver from Apple Software Update. Follow the steps in this document to install the driver, and then scan from either Apple Preview, Apple Image Capture, or the Print and Scan window.

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Drivers for Yosemite?

Are there updated video drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M in a mid 2009 MBP for Yosemite?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my mid 2009 MBP and now I have maximum resolution of 1080p - so i suspect its the nvidia Graphics card that needs essential updates. Also after extensive search Im starting to get the feeling Apple have cut us off ... no surprises there.

Hi ..
Reset the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
Those instructions are for Mavericks but will work on Yosemite as well.
Then try the USB modem.
