Q: This window pops up every time I open Aperture.

This window opens every time I open Aperture. I can't seem to find a way to stop it. I use an external HD to store my aperture library on. Could that have anything to do with it?

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    This nagging should have stopped by now, since Mobile Me is no longer available.

     

    Press "Learn More" once again.

     

    Then open the Aperture Preferences, go to the "Web" tab in the "Preferences" panel, and remove the "Mobile Me" account. This should stop the alert.

     

    If it doesn't, quit Aperture (and if you are running Mac OS 10.7. or later, log off and on again) and clear the Aperture Caches:  remove the file

         ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Aperture/mmsunset.plist

    from your User Library. This file contains the information on the end of MobileMe and when to stop nagging. Maybe it is corrupted and not wrutable.

     

    If clearing the caches did not do the trick, quit Aperture, log off and log on, then remove the Aperture Preferences; see the "Aperture 3 Trouble Shooting Basics" on how to do this.

    My aperture shows this same dialog, but will not let me click on anything. My only option is to force-quit the app. I guess I need to try the removal of that file as you suggest. Otherwise I can't seem to use Aperture at all any more.

    Try to log off and log on again and to disconnect from the internet, before you launch Aperture. Then try again, if you can remove the Web account in Aperture.

     

    And then start with the files to remove ...
