munky Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 which version of aperture? you probably need to update it to 1.5 (you should anyway, 1.5 is much better ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41513-aperture-wont-load-up-after-install-min-req-err/#findComment-297145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

juunbug Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 OK, got it working like a dream View this post here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;hl=aperture# to edit plist if you dont have sufficient memory. On the same post there is a link to this site: http://creativebits.org/photography/apertu...its_the_streets that will explain how to use Hexedit to bypass the post-installation hardware check (title of post is "Runs on any Mac"). Worked like a dream and I'm in like Flynn. Credit to GmanBen for the origonal memory fix post and jzr from the second link for the happy happy post-install fix.
