Question

Apr 9, 2012 5:04AM PDT

I needed to move to a larger hard drive for my MacBook. So I...

-Replaced the drive
-Installed 10.5
-Put the old drive in an enclosure

Aperture reinstall
Apr 9, 2012 5:19AM PDT

Thanks for the response Bob.

No I did not. It was a download. No DVD. I thought that a migration would transfer everything. Also, I was afraid a reinstall would wipe all photo data.

We only lose what we didn't backup.

As it was a download, use that to reinstall.

As to losing stuff, hard drives always lose everything. It's not a matter of if, but when.

1. Backup.
2. Reinstall.
3. If not working, then I supplied the support link.
