Access denied to Aperture backup on external drive. When I hold the comman key adn open aperture to acces a remote drive I receive the message "There was an error opening the database for teh library "/Volumes/VERBATIM HD/Aperture Library BU.aplibrary".
When I attempt to open an Aperture backup on a remote drive using the Command key when opening Aperture., I receive the message-
How do access these files?
How do I copy the libray onto another drive? Drag & drop? Can I put it onto my iMac drive without loosing the Aperture files already there?
yes, you can drag the library to your internal drive. if it has the same name as your current Aperture library rename it or drag it to a different folder.
I followed the instrucitons when formatting the drive, although I would not rule out an operator error
You can see the name of the file system on the drive, when you select the drive in the Finder and press the key combination ⌘I (for File > Get Info). The file system will show in the "General" brick of the Info panel.

When I try to open my Aperture Library, I get this message: "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/alyssabouma/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the library....Help!!lyssalou,
what is your Aperture version and what is your MacOS X version?
What happened, before this problem occurred? Did you import images, install software, move the Aperture library?
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the library....Help!!
What do you mean by reinstalling the library? Did you reinstall Aperture?
You might start the trouble shooting with using the Aperture Library First Aid Tools - repairing the permissions, repairing the library, and rebuilding, if necessary, see:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Before rebuilding the library, make a backup of the Aperture Library, if you do not have one.

Trying to open Aperture, but I get the message, "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/davewasson/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. - and it forces me to quit. What do I do?
Dave-
You can try opening the old (problem) library by launching Aperture into Library First Aid mode and choosing to Repair (first option) or Rebuild the library. Before doing this, make a backup copy of the old library, since both Repair or Rebuild will write changes to the library database.
Repair is the faster and less drastic option, so try that first: After backing up your library, hold down both the Option and Command keys while dragging and dropping the problem library on the Aperture icon. The Photo Library First Aid window appears. Select Repair Database, then click Repair. After some time Aperture should open the library, if possible.
If that fails launch Aperture back into Library First Aid and select Rebuild Database. Depending on the size of your library this operation could take some time, up to several hours for a very large library. When the main window appears you may have some extra Recovered folders/projects. This operation rebuilds the library from scratch and is usually successful at reviving problem libraries. -
Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary”???
Thanks a lot, Frank. The lsregister did the trick! I am testing this on 10.8.2.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24770 : I deleted the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist", and restarted the Finder, even logged off and on again; did not change anything. The file has not been recreated, so it may not be used anymore.

The direct "copy and paste" from the post did not work: I had to retype it :
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
but then it worked like a charm!
Cheers
Léonie
And btw: I turned on the "-v" option for the lsregister to see, what was going on, and saw plenty of error messages (error -10811); so I repeated the command with "sudo". After that I still saw five iPhotos. Repeating as regular user finally got rid of the redundant iPhoto entries. It looks like registering as super user may be causing this trouble. -
I'm having trouble accessing my pdf. Error message: "There was an error opening this document..."
Hi
I have been working on a pdf in Adobe Reader 9.3 on 2007 Microsoft Windows v5.1. The pdf is set up as a form that I can enter data into. Last time I worked on it I saved it, and then when I went to open it the next time I had the following error message: "There was an error opening this document. There was a problem reading this document (14)."
I have tried to recover the pdf by going to www.datanumen.com/apdf but when I try to repair the pdf I get another error message: "Xml parsing error: not well formed (invalid token) (error code 4), line 12874, column 20 of file." The second error message looks like the problem has been pinpointed but I don't know how to fix it.Could you please let me know if there is any way to recover this file?
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!!Thanks for the information.
Could you please also let me know which version of Adobe Reader are you currently using. If you are not using Reader 9.4.6 (which is the latest version of Adobe Reader), can you try updating to the latest released version by
1. Launching Adobe Reader
2. Clicking on Help > Check for Updates
3. When prompted click on Download followed by Install.
This will update Reader to the latest version.
Also, please verify if this issue that you are facing is with a specific PDF alone or is the issue happening with all PDFs that you are trying to print from Win7.

Error message "There was an error opening the database for the library"
I am getting the following error when I try to open my Aperture today: "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/xyz/Pictures/Aperture Trial Library.aplibrary”".
I tried doing Option-Cmd while double clicking Aperture, but I can't get to the restore screen. I also tried to use Time Machine to restore the library and am still getting the error. Is there a different way to get to the restore screen??Someone posted in another thread that they needed to create a new library and import the old one in.

I'm getting a similar message: First it offers me chance to repair - but if I it repair, it crashes. Then if I select do not repair I get the following warning: There was an error opening the database..." and the only option I get is a "quit" button. Help!
From the path in the error message you posted it appears that the library is not on your internal (root) drive.
What type of disk is the library on and how is it formatted?
The crash log Léonie is referring to is what is printed out when Aperture crashes. You wrote that Aperture crashes in your first post so if the app crashes you must have gotten a crash report.

I can't seem to open Aperture, don't know how to back up the library (I have pics I just put on Aperture last week that aren't backed up) so I can just rebuild the library. Will I lose all my pics if I choose to rebuild the library?
don't know how to back up the library
Simply drag your Aperture library to an external drive with enough free disk space to make a backup copy for now.
What happened before you first got this error message? Did you import new images into Aperture? Did you install new software? Or update software?
Did you move your aperture library to a new location?
Does the panel with the error message show an error log? What does it say? The first 50 lines will suffice.
Will I lose all my pics if I choose to rebuild the library?
Rebuild is a save standard trouble shooting operations. But it may take a long time, and if your mac has other problems, in interruption of the rebuild may make things worse, so don't do it without copying your library some where safe. -

When I try to open Aperture 3- I get this message : There was an error opening the database for the library...(name of library).
The last time I tried to open the library I got a window requesting a conflict in library data. It ask if I wanted to resolve it. So I pushed the repair button.
Thanks in advance for your help !!William,
Thanks so much for your reply.
When first hooked up I reformatted the external as Mac OS Extended Journaled within Disk Utility.
I am not sure what HFS+ means. Can you help me there ?

There was an error opening this document. Access denied.
Greetings,
When I did my taxes last year (March 2012), I downloaded some pdf files from the IRS. Form 1040 was a writable file and I filled it out as needed. This file was saved on a Vista machine running XP. A few months ago, I upgraded that pc to be Windows 7 SP1.
Today I'm getting ready to do my taxes for this year. When I double click on last year's Form1040.pdf, I get the following error message:
There was an error opening this document. Access denied.
Interestingly, I can open other pdf files, like the Form 1040 Instructions. I do not think that I password protected my Form1040.pdf. The reason that I think it isn't password protected is because I'm not being prompted to enter a password.
I copied the file to an old spare XP machine (XP Home, version 2002, SP3) that I have and it opened fine. It did not prompt for a password. I printed copies of last year's forms from that XP machine, so this isn't an emergency for me, but it is mildly annoying that I can't figure out what's wrong.
I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.2 installed on both machines (the Windows 7 machine and the old XP machine).
To summarize, it was created on Vista, I can't open it with Windows 7, but I can open it with XP.
Normally I would consider uploading the file in question, but in this case, I hope you'll agree that might be a bad idea!
Advice on how to get this to work on Windows 7 would be appreciated.Pat Willener: Thanks! That solved the problem.
For anyone else having this problem, here's a detailed list of how I used Pat's advice to solve my problem:
1. Right click on the problematic file
2. Select Properties
3. Select the Security tab
4. Press continue
5. In the "Permissions for MyFile.pdf" dialog, press "Add".
6. In the "Select Users or Groups" dialog, press "Advanced".
7. The next dialog that pops up is also named "Select Users or Groups". Press "Find Now".
8. Scroll down the list of search results until you find your username.
9. Double click on your username.
10. Press ok in the "Select Users or Groups" dialog.
11. Press ok in the "Permissions for MyFile.pdf" dialog
12. Press ok in the Properties dialog.
done. -

There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is inc
I have two machines, both with the latest version of Adobe reader installed. I have received an email which contains 2 .pdf file attachments - the file names are in Russian Font (Cryllic)
PC 1 opens these docs fine - I double click the file name and the document opens as usual.
PC 2 comes up with the following error message "There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" - Though if I save the files to my machine and then rename them using English fonts - they open up without any problems.
Both machines are XP SP2 - any ideas why one machine will open the files fine, but the other one has problems?
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
BennyHi I have same thing!
Please write if u find solution.

What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported". What does that mean? I am trying to drag libraries (with metadata) to external HD...wondering what the best way to do that is?

Hi Shane. Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
How is the drive attached?
Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
Can you reformat the drive and try again?
Hi Kirby,
I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
Thanks,

There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/Aperture Master/Unknown/Aperture Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
What do I do now. I cant access the photos on the drive. The only option is Quit? what ??????????
Please help ready to throw computer and drive out the window. I have a deadline of next Tuesdaythe 11th.Start Aperture while holding down the option and command keys. You'll get a Photo Library First Aid dialog as below.
Try Repair Database first. If that doesn't work, then redo the startup with option-command and try Rebuild Database. These repair processes can take a long time with a larger library.
If all that fails, you can try creating a new library from scratch and then try importing the old library into the new. This sometimes can fix problems that can't be repaired the First Aid way.
Also make sure the drive where the Aperture library is located is working properly. You can check it with Disk Utility app.
