Q: Aperture into photo books!

This year I've once more made our family yearbook in Aperture. When I try to buy the book nothing happens - it just freezes. I have Yosemite OS X and I know that Aperture is fading out of the system (how sad!!!) But how can I MAKE the computer buy the book I've spend som much time making? Can I put it into "Photos" somehow?? Or is there another smart way??

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

iMac, iOS 5.0.1, Lion

    And another thing. I thought I had Yosemite, but I must have updated to OS X El Capitan version 10.11.2

    Check the system version in the -menu in the upper left corner of your display.    -menu:  About this MAc

    The "About" panel will tell you your system version.

     

    If you indeed upgraded to MacOS X 10.11.2, only Aperture 3.6 will run.

     

    If Aperture is correctly installed, you should be seeing this in your Applications folder:

    Version Number 3.6, and the size should be 1.02 GB

     

    If the size is smaller, try to reinstall.

     

    Move the partial Aperture to the Trash, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put it back.

    Then open the Mac App Store, sign into the Store menu with your AppleID, open the fourth tab "Purchased".  You should be seeing Aperture with the option "Install".  If you are seeing an Install button click it.

    This will install the newest version.

    Dear léonie

    It is El Capitan and the size of Aperture i 1,01, GB.

     

    And now I've done what you've said - and tried to buy the book. Now I'm waiting VERY patiently :-)

    By the way: the size of Aperture is still 1.01 GB

     

    Thanx léonie - you have been most helpful

    It started alright last night - until "Your order is being send" - this morning it is still sending (9 hours later).

    Do you think it has anything to do with the fact, that I have made 100 pages in the book?

    100 pages can need a long time to upload, if you have a slow connection.

    But last night Apple released a new version of MacOS X, and so probably there was much traffic at the servers.

     

    Try again to submit the order in safe mode:  Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode

    Thank you so much for the most helpful advice. Finally it succeeded - the safe mode advice did the trick.IMG_9464.jpg
