hello,
i no longer have access to my aperture app, as i bought this mac from a friend, now i have to update the app, i have none of his info and I'm being prompted to upgrade the app ($80) which is not an option lol is there any way i can get my pictures without paying $80 for them?
MacBook (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
No. That copy of Aperture belongs to him and is tied to his AppleID. In order for you to get a copy of Aperture you are going to have to purchase under your AppleID.
Which version of Aperture created the Aperture library?
If it was Aperture 3.3. or later, try to install a compatible iphoto version. iPhoto 9.3 or later can open matching Aperture libraries.
See this link: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
Aperture 3.3. libraries can be opened with iPhoto 9.3, Aperture 3.6 with iPhoto 9.6. It will be a bit tedious to find the exactly matching iPhoto version for your Aperture library.
Or wait a bit, until the new Photos.app will be released later the spring. It should be able to convert and open an Aperture 3 library.
how can i get my photos from aperture library when i no longer have aperture app?
