Hi, Thanks for the above, unfortunately none works.
The only thing under ProApps is internal plugins folder. Had a look in the Users Library_app. support, no proapps but there is Aperture - all that is in their are Adjustment chain, Import presets and Metadatasets.
I have a suspician the serial numbers are rfor V3 upgrade and V2.
When I launch and eneter the serails numbers per my 1st message, go to about aperture and it has the Licensed to Ron Frew, FlexoLink and V3 serial number. Version 3.4.5 and 3200900090000000.1 Digital Camera Raw 4.06 - Build 694.4 - Yes updated to OSX 10.8.4 and made no difference.
Did the open /tmp in terminal, nothing.
What has happened since I chaqnged from my MacPro to my new iMac is that the Macs name has changed from ronfrews MacPro to karenfrews iMac, both have same Apple ID. The MacPro was sold with erased drives and a clean install of OSX with no reference to the old machine setup.
I am waiting for the new MacPro.
One other problem that has occurred since changing machines is that iWork does not work & this is a real disaster. My numbers spreadsheets cannot be accessed-could not be opened - keynote and pages the same - either from the cloud or my Mac. I even made a clean installation from my original IWork 09 disk and then did the upgrade through Software Update - still doesn't work.
It seems anything that is disc related has turned to toast (these do not appear in my app store purchases). Final Cut Pro, iLife etc are fine as they are ex the app store.
Its almost as if when I restart there is no reference to the previous use of Aperture.
Hope there is more you can do. I don't want to purchase Aperture and iWork again unless it is absolutely necessary.
Looking forward to your reply
Best Regards
Ron
