Hi!

 

Knows anybody how I can download a compatible version of Aperture 3 for Snow Leopard.

 

I bougth it some years ago in the App Store. Now I have to reinstall it... but now Aperture 3 requires Yosemite.

 

Maybe theres a workaround or something?!?

 

Thank you very very much!

    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

    Japib,   MacMirscho needs an Aperture version for SnowLeopard, and already owns an expensive licence.

    What you recommend will only works with Mt. Lion or later, but not with SnowLeopard.  We need to find a solution, if possible, that will not require to buy an Aperture 3.2.4 installer again.

    Hi Leonie!

     

    I bought it from the App Store.

     

    And no, I have no backups from my older system. I formatted the external disk new. I copied all things, that I thought that I need, manually to my "new" system. The iTunes media files, pictures, documents etc.

     

    But not the apps. ***!

    I bought it from the App Store.

    If you really bought it from the AppStore, you should see it among your Purchases at the AppStore, on the Purchases page.

    Sign into the AppStore with the AppleID you used to buy Aperture. It should be showing.  If not, contact the App Store support.

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

     

    Or did I understand something wrong?

     

    @ leonie: Du kannst auch Deutsch schreiben.

    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.

    On my last machine was 10.10 installed.

     

    This machine now is an old Mac Pro with SL.

     

    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.

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