Yosemite and Old Aperture

I upgraded my iMac to Yosemite and ignorantly didn't think about software becoming obsolete.  I had been running aperture 2.  How do I regain access to my library?  We're talking solo versions of wedding photos.  The computer was time machine backed up to an external hard drive.  Do I recover it? Upgrade aperture?  Help please.

If you use Yosemite, then you must upgrade Aperture to 3.6.x.

  • New MBP and Old Aperture

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro. I bought Aperture at version 1.0 Will I be able to install the old Aperture disk and then upgrade?

    Should work to upgrade to 1.5.6
    If you're planning to buy the upgrade to A2.x, I don't think you even need to install 1.x. but just provide A2 with your legacy serial number.

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now Aperture 3.5.1 doesn't seem to work or update. Suggestions?

    I downloaded Yosemite on my Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 processor and now my version 3.5.1 Aperture does not respond, and the App store says there is no update available for it.  Any suggestions on where to find the latest aperture update, or do I need to reinstall Mavericks to keep aperture going? 

    Aperture 3.5.1 will not work with Yosemite.
    You must have Aperture 3.6 to work.

  • Aperture unable to play slideshows since updating to Yosemite and 3.6

    Hi,
    I updated yesterday to Yosemite and to Aperture 3.6 accordingly, and Aperture has been unable to play slideshows since then. It crashes abruptly whenever trying to play a slideshow from a project (though NOT from an album - weird). Same happens on iPhoto.
    Any similar experience anyone ?
    Best regards to all,

    Hi Leonie (and Frank),
    Tried Frank Caggiano's options : it turns out the problem did NOT occur under another user. It did not occur either when creating a new library. In that new library, I stuffed a project with some 270 raw photos (those from one of the very projects that caused Aperture to crash under my usual library) and launched a slideshow from that project ==> no problem.
    So my guess is that something went awry with my usual library. Do not know how I could fix that.
    Hereunder the crash log (50-some first lines) I got in the report after Aperture crashed.
    Many thanks again to both of you for your helpful insight.

  • Get old Aperture library into iPhoto without need to upgrade Aperture first?

    I've my photo libraries in an old Aperture format. I didn't upgrade to Aperture 3, because I didn't get a new Mac until recently. Now with Yosemite my old Aperture app can't be installed anymore (neither old iPhoto). So I've not an old Aperture library file which I'd like to import into the new iPhoto, but I get the dialog that I've to upgrade to Aperture 3 first.
    Do I really have to purchase a $80 upgrade to get my pictures out of an old version of Aperture? I'd upgrade to Aperture 3 and continue using it if it wasn't already announced to be discontinued soon. But what to do until the new Photo.app is available some time in 2015, plus who knows whether the announced "will be able to import Aperture libraries" isn't also limited to Aperture 3+ versions?
    You see my pickle?! I can't run old Aperture on Yosemite, I can't import my old Aperture library into the new iPhoto and Photo.app isn't available yet. What to do?
    The option to run an old OS X via VMWare, import Aperture to old iPhoto and then upgrade to new iPhoto also seems a bit much work.
    What I am looking for would essentially be a "Import Aperture 2 library into (new) iPhoto" script/tool/converter.
    Thanks,
    -H

    Crrect - as I said
    you can get the original photos out by copying the masters folder and importing to iPhoto
    And yes there is no good solution for switching from a outdated software package to a different up to date one - Aperture or pretty much any other software - iPhoto will update all old iPhoto libraries and Aperture will update all old Aperture libraries but iPhoto will not update old Apertue libraries nor will Aperture update old iPhoto libraries

  • Having trouble with images in old Aperture Library?

    I have and old Aperture Library that I updated.  I opened a project in that library and tried to export some photos to my desk top.  I got an error message that was a error with about 10 images.  I went back to that same project and now those images are blank with the upside down question mark? That says “Unsupported Image Format”  Any help would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Jeff Skinner

    Hello Jeff,
    I don't undersand that with iphoto? The images are so old I forgot if they were originally iphotos or aperture files.
    I saw the "iPhoto Original" keyword attached to one of the images in question. This keyword usually is set for an original master image, when you import from iPhoto.
    I cannot find anything special about these imiages???  I noticed that there is no file size for the corrupted files.
    If the image format is not supported, then probably Aperture cannot read the file size.
    Not sure if the images are managed or referenced?
    If these were imported from iPhoto, then they might have been imported as referenced, if you set the "Store Files" selector to "In their current location" on import. That would mean, that the original masters are still in your iPhoto Library, and if you edit them using iPhoto this may break the references to your masters in Aperture.
    I think I just located the original imaiges in an old hard drive!
    That is good, at least you still have a backup; but did you see the imported, unsupported images in the masters folder of your Aperture Library? It would really help to know the exact condition of the images that are problematic. Or are they not in the library? That would mean they are referenced, but then the exclamation-mark tag in the Browser is confusing - I then would expect an icon with a broken arrow.
    It did not happen until I tried to export them though?  What can I do to prevent this from happening futher?
    Then Aperture probably did not notice that something was amiss with the images, until it needed to access the master image files for export and noticed that those could not be read. As long as you do not try to export or to edit the images, the Previews are sufficient, but on export the master has to be processed.
    The master image files of the other images in the project may be problematic as well - make sure you have a working backup, before you try anything at all with other images in that project.
    Cheers
    Léonie

    After upgrading to Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 all the library icons are shown plain. Does anyone has a hint?

    If it is still slow after removing Symantec, you may need a RAM upgrade. Yosemite can run very poorly on older machines with only 4 GB RAM.

  • OS X Yosemite and Aperture 3

    I recently installed OS X Yosemite on my mac book pro and since I can not open my Aperture software - it says "You can’t use this version of the application “Aperture” with this version of OS X. You have “Aperture” 3.2.4."
    there is an upgrade available through the App Store "version 3.6, released Oct 17, 2014 -this update addresses compatibility with OS X Yosemite and stability improvements"
    This is exactly what I need, however when I click on "Upgrade" an other small window appears with the following "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".
    How can I fix this issue otherwise how can I retrieve all my photos in the respective files and order - I am desperate.
    thanks for any help

    Certain copies of Aperture 3 were eligible to update to the App Store versions.  Had you done this before updating to Yosemite?  It would have been done by clicking 'accept' on the purchases page of the App Store, which then ties it to you Apple ID.  If you had not done this previously, and you do in fact have an eligible copy, after updating to Yosemite, the accept button goes away and you'll get the message you have now.  (FYI, this also applies to iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Number, and Keynote.  It used to include iPhoto, but this is now free.)
    If this is what's happened, to fix this, you'll need to contact Apple or delete/buy the app again.  There is no other solution.  They'll want the product code off the Aperture DVD.  It'll start with something like 0Z and go on.  Contact Apple here:  Contact Apple for support and service
    But, check the obvious first.  Makes sure it's not associated with a different Apple ID.  You can sign out/in from the store menu.

  • OSX Yosemite Upgrade and Iphoto/Aperture

    I recently upgrade to yosemite and after it upgraded my iphoto libraries (I mean all including my external hard drive backups of Iphoto and Aperture ) and used up an additional 190 G on my 500 G internal hard drive. It then upgraded my aperture software and charged me $80 even when it (OSX) said the upgrade (aperture) was free. Now there is only 19 Meg left on my hard drive and it will not boot? Any suggestions will be appreciated. I can't get anyone at apple on the phone about this. (I am not willing to wait on hold for over three hours every time I call. Is there a class action lawsuit against apple that I do not know about.)

    Log into the App store using the Apple ID that you purchased iPhoto 9.6.1 with and download and install it on the machine your just upgraded to Yosemite

    Re-downloading of films is currently only available in the US (due to film studio restrictions), and not all films can be re-downloaded there as not all film studios are allowing it. Have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting Apple, but they are under no obligation to let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/

    Thanls Ernie. I found the solution. My problem was previous to 10.10.3. It looks like the installation of final cut and uninstallation of fcp delte a plugins that was needed for Aperture. I recover from time machine my plugins in Library/frameworks/plugin.manager.framework and now Aperture works ! Ouf....

  • Can I uninstall Yosemite and go back to my old OS?

    Can I uninstall Yosemite and go back to my old OS?

    It's not a simple uninstall. You'll need to erase the hard drive, install the old OS version, and then restore your data from a backup. It's a time consuming process and it's probably easier to try and troubleshoot whatever issues you're having with Yosemite.

  • Yosemite and Canon RAWs - Random "Unsupported File Format"

    It all started with Yosemite betas, random raw files in Aperture would pop up with the dreaded "Unsupported File Format" graphic. I tried a lot of stuff, rebuild the library, delete prefs, etc. Nothing work. I tried exporting the raws and neither iPhoto or Preview would open them. Downloaded the LightRoom 5 trial and it opens the files fine. OK, tried Aperture on a laptop with Mavericks, the files open fine there too.  So it looks like it is something in the way that MacOS is handling
    Any ideas? Now with the final release of Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 trying to open one of these file just crashes the software. I can't really say I like LightRoom but if I have to move on, I guess I will.

    What version of iPhoto is it?
    The issue is that the OS provides RAW support, but the applications need to leverage it. Aperture 1.5.6 is old: Aperture 2.0 came out in March of 2008 so there hasn't been an update to Aperture 1.5 since 2007-ish. It is unlikely that any cameras that shipped since then will ever be supported in Aperture 1.5.x.
    The improvements/advantages to going with Aperture 3.1 over 1.5 are huge (assuming you have a capable machine) and well worth it.
