Q: I need to reinstall Aperture 3 but the DVD says "Upgrade from Aperture 1.0 or later." If I trash my current copy as instructed, will the DVD Upgrade work (since it has nothing to upgrade?) Will my Aperture Library be affected?
Aperture apparently got corrupted when I uploaded a video to Facebook. After that, everytime I try to make an adjustment to any image in the project, the app crashes or the image goes black. I restored my Aperture Library from a Time Machine backup taken before the video was downloaded, but the problem still persists. I want to reinstall Aperture but the DVD I have says it's an upgrade from Aperture 1 and if I drag Aperture to the trash (as per the instructions), there's nothing to upgrade, so will it still work as long as I have the serial number? Also, will my Aperture Library be affected by the reinstall?
(I'm running Aperture 3.2.4 on a MacPro OSX 10.6.8)
Thanks for any advice.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Final (I hope) update to this problem. I tried Repair Permissions, Repair Database, Rebuild Database, backing up to an earlier copy, reinstalling the app. None of that worked. Finally deleting the plist did resolve the problem. I had help from Apple Care.
Thanks again for your help, Frank.
