I want to use an original Canon EOS 5D for tethered shooting with Aperture 3 on a MacBook running OS X 10.8. Most guides only cover the 5D Mark II and III. Has anyone confirmed whether the first-generation 5D works with Aperture, and if so, what camera setting is required?

According to the Aperture camera compatibility list you should be able to shoot tethered with the original Canon 5D with Aperture 3.0.3 and higher. The camera should be set to PC Connect communication mode. On page 123 of the manual it is explained how to set the communication mode of the Canon 5D.

Yes. Based on Aperture’s camera compatibility information, the original Canon EOS 5D is supported for tethered shooting in Aperture 3.0.3 and later.
The key requirement mentioned is to set the camera’s communication mode to PC Connect. That setting is described in the EOS 5D manual (page 123 in the referenced manual).
So if you’re using Aperture 3.4, the original 5D should be able to work tethered, provided the camera is set correctly and recognized by your Mac.
