Aperture update Retail DVD for Yosemite

Hello. I have an old Aperture 3 retail DVD, never bought the programme on the app store. Now I have updated my MBP to yosemite and I am stuck with version 3.4.5 and cannot open the programme anymore on my laptop. It tells me to update to 3.4.6, which I can't since I only have the retail but no app store purchase.

Has anyone an idea how to update to the final update for yosemite? I do not want to rebuy the whole programme since it will vanish within the next two months.

Please help!

Best from Germany.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

You will need to contact Apple support to get a redemption code that will allow you to get 3.6 from the Mac App Store. Make sure you have your current serial number handy when you call they will need that in order to issue the redemption code

Hey GeoCo,

thanks. I actually made it on my own.

I had to change the region and language to US/english and restarted the machine. Then I was able to download the update from appstore and the programme is officially put into my purchased-category at app store.

Bests.

That is still going on?

I really thought that bug (Aperture update only being able to be downloaded with the region and language set to US/English) had been fixed after the Aperture 3.5.1 update last year. 😮 Thanks for letting us know, that this is still the solution to get the update done.

I do not want to rebuy the whole programme since it will vanish within the next two months.

Aperture may vanish from the App Store and Apple will not develope it further, but it will still be supported and remain working during the life cycle of Yosemite and probably longer. You can enjoy it, as long as you are running a compatible operating system.
