Cannot access Aperture after upgrade

Hi, does anybody know how to re install aperture 3-1-2 that is not recognised on OS X Yosemite. I have tried upgrading since, but this didn't work.

Are my pictures and Raw files retrievable? I am willing to buy Aperture again as a last resort, but will i still get my files back.

Does anyone know an alternative please. Thanks Andy.

Hi, does anybody know how to re install aperture 3-1-2 that is not recognised on OS X Yosemite.

Did you buy Aperture 3.1.2 from the AppStore, or do you have a version with a serial number?


The update to Aperture 3.6 is only available from the App Store. Before you can use the AppStore update, an Aperture version with a serial number has to be associated with your AppleID. This was easier, when Mavericks and the Aperture 3.5.1 update came out.


Install Aperture 3.1.2, even if it will show a crossed out icon.

Then launch the AppStore, sign in with your AppleID and look at the "Purchases" tab. Is Aperture listed as "Accept"? Or showing on the Updates page?

If you do not see it at the Purchases tab, quit the AppStore again, then make sure, the Language&Region" in the System preferences are set to English USA, restart your Mac and try again. This worked for some forum members, to get the update to show at the AppStore.


If all fails, contact Apple Support and ask for a redeem code, so you can download Aperture 3.6 for free:


You will need to provide a proof op purchase of Aperture and insist to talk to the manager.

Apple sent redeem codes for Aperture 3.6 to several users who had bought the version on disks, if they could provide a serial number, so they could download the update for free. See for example this discussion: (The post marked as the solution)

Re: Aperture update not possible after update to Yosemite


It is really unfortunate you missed the window of opportunity with Mavericks MacOS X 10.9.5, when the update was easy.
