Why am I having to re-enter my registration information each time I open the application?

Hi All,
I purchased Apeture with my Macbook three years ago and have just recently decided to utilize it. EVERY time I open the program I'm prompted to enter my registration information. I'm entering the info each time, but would love not to! (I registered the product in an attempt to make the dialog box go away to no avail.) Any ideas?

First of all, are you using an administrator account, when you are entering the serial number? Aperture needs to write the information to the system library, not the user library. Try to log in from an admin account while entering the serial number. If that does not help,  you may have a corrupted "ProAppSystemID" file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
First check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
     Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
Check the permission on the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps". You (as admin) need to have read/write access to all flders along the path.

  • Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

  • Why does aperture keep asking for my activation key each time I open the programme?

    I have aperture on iMac and macbook air - everytime I open aperture on air, it asks my name and key number. how do I get it to remember this? why does it do it?
    Help please - I am tired of it.

    Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
    Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library, and this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
    When did this start? Have you migrated your system from another mac? Then you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file  or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.

    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
    Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearin the /tmp directory.
    In this case you may want to repair the permissions on your system drive; you can do this using the "First Aid" tools in "Disk Utility" (located in Applications > Utilities)

  • Hello there! am new to mac and had been using my mcbook pro for like a year now with no problem but last Monday, I started having concerns about my keychain access.. every time i open the mac it asks for my keychain password.. what can i do?

    Hello there!
    I am a new Mc Bok Pro user and had been using my mac since Sept, 2012 with no problem. Just recently however, I have been experiencing a Keychain access problem. Specifically, whenever I open the mac, it asks for my keychain password... Can I restore my mac to its condition before Jan. 18, 2014? What should I do?
    Thanks everyone!

    This is only for Local Items key chain not Login Keychain.
    “Local Items” keychain prompt?

  • How do I get the tabs to have the correct name of the webpage without having to reconfigure each time I open the browser

    Ever since I downloaded the latest Firefox, the tabs for various web pages are often misnamed. For instance, I'll be visiting a page and the tab will be named Google or Wikipedia or the name of a Firefox page! I have to click the tab to see what page I have loaded. When I'm working in a browser with several tabs going, I'd like to see the correct name of the page ON THE TAB.
    I've gone in under tools and tried to assign the appropriate names of the web pages but this is ridiculous! Not only is it a waste of time to have to configure the correct name for each web page I visit, but it will revert back to the incorrect default names mentioned above.
    In older Firefox browsers this was NEVER a problem. Is it because the latest Firefox doesn't like Windows XP? Please give me a good and final fix for this. Like I said, I've tried to reconfigure the names of the tabs, but the names don't stick.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I tried them both and neither fixed the problem. Any other ideas?

  • I have to enter my Firefox Sync account information every time I open the browser. Is there a way to get Sync to retain this information?

    Using Firefox 3.6.12 with Firfox Sync 1.5.1. When I open Firefox I have to go to Sync settings and put in all my Sync account information. One the information is in place everything sync's up fine and I am alright until I close Firefox. Once I open Firefox again I have to input all of my Sync account settings again. Is there a way to get Sync to remember all of my settings so that it connects and syncs every time I start Firefox?

    @the-edmeister
    Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
    ('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
    Great to have Sync. :)

  • Why do I have to keep entering in my Apple ID login when opening music?

    When I open my music app ( the apple music app) on my phone, it keeps asking me to enter in my Apple ID password. It's not an incorrect password. And it happens every time I open it. I opened my setting for iTunes and it has my Apple ID username and password logged in mad home sharing is On. It did not do this until I had to switch to a new phone due to itouch issues.

    This same exact thing started happening to me a few days ago.
    Every time I open the iPod app - I'm prompted for User/Password.  I even changed my password, thinking I forgot it, and still - insists that I enter this information.  If i hit OK or Cancel it just keeps asking like a never ending loop.
    Eventually, when I do fill out the info, it will go away until I re-open the iPod app.  This is more of an annoyance than a real issue - but if it's a bug, I hope it gets resolved.
    Any support in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I set the screen zoom, so that it doesnt change each time I open Firefox. Because I see the webpages in smaller print, and I want them larger , without having to re zoom each time I open Firefox.

    I need to know how to set the zoom option under "View" Tab, shere I dont have to re zoom each time I open Firefox. I have a wide screen monitor and generally, when viewing webpages, the web content on any page is confined to center of the page, and I was wondering if there was anyway to permanently set the zoom preferences without having to change them each time i open a webpage.
    IE 8 and 9 has a feature to set the magnification and i set mine to 150% which works perfectly for me. I wonder if Firefox has a similar feature.

    Thanks a lot. I downloaded the Default FullZoom Level add-on. My problem is now a history. thanks a million

  • I just updated to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Now I must enter my admin password each time I attempt to access my main hard drive.  How do I reverse the need for the password.  It's a real PAIN!

    I just updated to 10.8 Mountain Lion from 10.7.5.  Now I must enter my admin password each time I attempt to access my main hard drive.  How do I reverse the need for the password?  It's a real PAIN! 

    I'd think you have a Keychain problem (Keychain storing passwords and the likes).
    When you are being asked, are you offered the checkbox, "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If so, check and see if it stops asking.

  • Why do I have to accept agreement each time I open a CC program?

    I have to accept the license agreement each time I open an Adobe CC product. Sometimes I have to relogin to CC. Why is this happening? I should be able to accept the agreement once for a single product and have all products activated, not have to accept the agreement and login each time I open a program. For example, I'm working in Photoshop and have to accept the agreement. With PS open, I open a PDF and have to accept the agreement. I close Photoshop and upon reopen I have to accept the agreement again about 75% of the time. Same with all CC products.
    Is the Creative Cloud connector not keeping the registration data or something? All software that I'm using is updated including the cloud connector.
    Thanks for the help

  • Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint 2010 Library

    Hello guys,
    I'm facing some design issue with sharepoint 2010 and Microsoft office, hope you can help me to fix this.
    Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint Library when I'm already authenticated via the browser?
    Please help me to skip this authentication when i try to open office documents from sharepoint library.
    Thanks

    Hi Jeyaraman, in addition to Alex's solution, check the following browser settings:
    Make sure “Enable protected mode” in security tab & “Require server verification” in “sites” area are unchecked. In “Custom level,” choose “Automatic logon” way at the bottom.
