Do you mean, you bought a serial number from the Apple Store and downloaded the trial version?


Apple pulled the Trial version, and you can no longer use it to reinstall. There is no stand-alone installer for Aperture 3 on Apple's support pages.

Have you searched your backups, if you can find the disk image?


Now I have to reinstall it..



Do you have a backup, that you can use? Or a mac, where you can migrate Aperture 3 from? You need to restore the Aperture application from "Applications" and the items in /Library/Application Support/Aperture

No problem. I can see it. But again, I can't download or install it, 'cause it requires 10.10.

Your Purchases page should be showing the last compatible version for your system, the version you bought, while the main page of the AppStore will show Aperture 3.6. Or did you previously run Yosemite on the machine and are trying to downgrade to Snow Leopard?


If you never updated to a version, that is not compatible with Snow Leopard, contact the App Store Support for help.

You think this is the reason? ****!

Yes.


You need Aperture 3.2.4, and you probably bought a newer version from the AppStore.


Ask the AppStore Support what to do.


Aperture 3.2.4 can be installed by buying the boxed retail version from Amazon.


PS: writing English with German spelling correction on the iPhone is scarry...

😁 I am having the same fun with my iPad - it is very creative, when it tries to correct my English to German .
