HISHAMM · Answer

I can&#x27;t find  the com.apple.plist  n the library , i dont know what to do

JohnTheAppleFan · Answer

From the finder&#x27;s Go menu, select "Go to Folder..." and select Library, then Preferences and you&#x27;ll find the file.  Drag it to your desktop and then double-click on your origianl Aperture file.  If you try to open it directly from the app icon, it will ask if you want to create a new library.  Double-click your Aperture library and it worked fine.

Removing the plist did not work for me.  I had to move Aperture.app to the trash and reinstall it fresh from the App Store.

Clem · Answer

Your library is probably fine, as are your prefs. Its an install problem. Just delete the app and reinstall form your source media (dvd) and update directly to 3.4 (or Redownload from app store); that fixes the problem, ie, a missing or incorrect version of the PrintServices framework in the application.   Make sense?  Try that and report back what you find.

léonie · Answer

Looking at your Crash report, there is a Framework (PrintServices.framework) missing, that should be located in your Aperture Application package.  Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/PrintServices.framework/Versions/A/PrintServices  Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture  Reason: image not foundMove the Aperture application to the Trash (don&#x27;t empty it) and reinstall. Did you buy Aperture from the AppStore? Then download again from the "Purchased" section, otherwise use your installation DVD to reinstall.RegardsLéonie

Goody64 · Answer

Worked beautifully.  I tried the uninstall/redownload/uninstall routine three times to no avail.  Deleting the plist file and then opening Aperture from Finder, did the trick. I reached the discussion groups for two hours.  I did find the advice to delete the plist file, but no one, until you, explained how to locate it.  Thanks.
