I am trying to install Aperture 3 on my MacBook Pro. I am operating on Lion and my software is up to date. Any clues as to what is goin on? Do I have a bad disk?

    Just a hunch: If you are trying to install from an installation DVD or older disk image, and you get the message

    "check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X"

    you may have a problem with an expired developer certificate (they expired mid march).

     

    To fix this, set the Date  in " SystemPreferences -> Date&Time" to a date well before March 2012 and run the Installer again. If that succeeds and Aperture now runs , reset the date to te current date.

     

    If not, please post back answer and Tony's question  ....
