Aperture "data base inconsistency"

I'm shooting a project in the middle of Sudan and Aperture (2.13) has suddenly quit. My library is on a correctly formated external, the vault on another one. I got a message saying Aperture had detected a database inconsistency, and directed me to restart the app holding down the option and cmd keys. I did that and got a progress bar, but after six hours or so it stalled 75% of the way through. I have seen on the web cases where it stalled for days, until the user gave up, which I did. And until this problem gets resolved, Aperture is unusable; it won't load the library. So what's going on? Will it stall for very long periods and then actually complete? I really need this to work; the nearest Apple store is 5000 miles from here. Thanks

Photoboydc,
I regret to say that I don't have a fix for you and I'm sorry to say that you are indeed in a quite a rough spot. At the risk of Apple deleting this, thread, I wish to share with you that I experienced, more than once, the issue you are having. The first time it happened to me it nearly bankrupted my business with labor costs just to have my employees redo all the work of an entire wedding season; seriously, it nearly did. I was very vocal about this issue both on here and over at Aperture Users Network. In the end, there was not a viable fix or work around.
It is unfortunate to read your story as I was told from the folks over at the Aperture Users Network that Aperture update 2.1.3 was largely going to take care of such issues. As a matter of fact, I remember distinctly the release notes on the update stating bug fixes related to such issues you are having now.
Here is the thing: While any work you have done (adjustments etc.) may be lost, your master images are still able to be rescued if you are willing to start over. Go to: Aperture Library>right click>show package contents, from here you will see any and all projects you had in the library. From here you can, one at a time, move a project to the desktop, restart Aperture and see what happens. Rebuilding the database using this stepwise progression might lead you to some luck after all.
I must admit that I'm quite distressed about the future of Aperture. I would hate to see Aperture fall as I feel that it is a much better tool than Lightroom. Lightroom though, has an enormous following and user base which, in their numbers, has power to petition for change.
I really hope this helps Photoboydc, as I can only imagine the sinking feeling you are feeling in your stomach.
Good luck,
ChristopherDavid

  • Aperture Data Base lost

    Hi All:
    I have an old MacBookPro 2008, (the first aluminum model) with upgraded hardware and software to 1Tb HD, plus 8Mb RAM. IOS Maverick 10,9,5 and Aperture 3,5,1.
    Initially When I began with second Aperture version, accidentally I made two database in separate files. When upgraded Aperture to version 3, both database  merged to one. Unfortunately in this process I loose some original files, only appeared the versions.
    I backuped in an external disk with time machine prior to upgrade to 1Tb and RAM.
    The new configuration, ran fast during a short time. First The Mac shut down unexpectedly, and when started, it requires  repair disk. It never repaired correctly. After checking many procedures, I ran fsck -fy three times  with no success. Finnally the hard drive did not started IOS more, so I had to replace it.
    I replaced for a new 1Tb, and with Time Machine I restored the information, the IOS and data.
    The problem with Aperture began to intensify, and it claimed for repair data any time I started Aperture. I used also restore, with no success and as a result the 90% of my photos disappeared, only the folders exist, and some photos has a exclamation alert above the file.
    Unfortunatelly last time I was restoring the system Time Machine took all the night doing the process, finished and next time it tried to back up, overwrite old version (non corrupted) and as a result all my backups are corrupted.
    I tried to downloaded my recent photos using Lightroom, but Aperture opens when I connected the Compact Flash card reader.  I cancelled the preview in Aperture, but surprisingly it does not being recognized again.
    After checking, the Compact Flash Card with 32Gb photos was damaged, but the more serious, the Mac book doesn't started again. The ram was also damaged.
    Now I had to pay in order to restore my photos from CF, but my 15 years photos stored in the old mac and external memory are corrupted.
    I have an external backup corrupted, a hard disk damaged and an old MacbookPro with corrupted information.
    I decided to buy a new MACBOOKPRO but I am not sure how to proceed with corrupted files from Aperture. What do you recommend me??

  • Error opening data base for the library for Aperture

    Hello,
    I have been using Aperture all day and for some reason am now getting this error message when trying to open it again.
    Te was an error opening the data base for the library "users/*******/pictures/aperture3triallibrary.aplibrary
    Has this happened for anyone else?
    Many Thanks

    When I hold down ⌘⌥ firmly, at the same time, and with these keys held down double click the Aperture library that I want to repair, I get this panel:
    Then, when I select "Repair"  Aperture will show a progress bar and the Dock icon will stay highlighted.
    When it is finished, the Aperture window will open.
    When I select repair, it seems as though it doesn't run. I don't get a dialog box to confirm it's happening and on the dock the little light under the Aperture icon isn't lit, which seems it is'nt open or running.
    After you select "Repair", does the panel close and then nothing? Or does the panel not react?
    I still don't see fully, what is going on on your mac.
    But it is a good sign, that you can create a new library. That suggests, that Aperture is running correctly on your mac, and "only" your old library has a problem. Try to test the new library - import a few images and try to adjust them.
    Once you are convinced, that the new library is working well, you have three options.
    Try "Rebuild" instead of "Repair".
    Or try to import your old library into the new library (Aperture's main menu bar > File >Import > Library) - that is another approach to rebuilsd the library.
    Or restore from backup. To restore from Time Machine, open a Finder Window showing your Aperture library, and then enter Time Machine. Go back in time to the most recent date that has a working Aperture library and select "Restore". If you have enough space on your disk, restore to a different folder and don't overwrite your current library.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Can't open aperture 3,  warning box comes up," warning there was an error opening the data base for the library /pictures/aperture library .aplibrary  Whats up?

    I have had Aperture 3 loaded on my computer for a while now. Never had any problems till tonight. Restarted my computer and went to open Aperture and a "warning" box poped up, There was an error opening the data base for the library /picture/aperture library ap library.   Then a "quit" button.
    What is going on and how can I open my aperture. I have pictures that need worked for clients.  Help!

    Have you run through the steps in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics. If not that's always a good place to start.
    If that doesn;t resolve the problem when you post back describe your hardware and software setup.
    good luck

  • Library Update rqstd on Aperture 3.2; now won't open get msg "error opening data base for the library "~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary"   TIme machine won't load backup "error code -8003"

    Aperture working on OS 10.6.8 then Library Update rqstd on Aperture 3.2; said yes;
    now Aperture won't open,  get msg "error opening data base for the library "~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary"  
    TIme machine won't load backup "error code -8003"
    Tried reloading Aperture 3.2 but get same result.

    You’re running an outdated copy of Safari on your Desktop. That won’t work.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Check that the Safari application is in that folder. If it is, use it, and delete the copy on your Desktop. Never move or copy built-in applications.
    If you've deleted Safari from the Applications folder, back up all data, then reinstall OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Can I use Aperture as a data-base? Meaning I would like to access it on multiple desktops.

    I am working on projects with one other person and we would like to see the updates from one another. In preference we'd like to share the same data base. However we do in fact have our own seperate copies of the program.

    I don't know if the aplibrary can be on a network attached storage drive. You could try that. Still, only one person can work on the library at a time.
    See this support article: The library needs to be on a local volume:

  • Inconsistency  in Data Replication to the Data Base MEREP_207  (SAP Mobile)

    Hello
    I have the following problem in WAS 7.00 SP16 (Usage type Mobile Infrastructure):
    Scanario: Backend driven replication (T51, Server Driven), SyncBO = Reservation
    Case A:
    When modifying data in the backend with transaction MB22, in some cases (Replicated database is empty for that SyncBO), all the items (010) are generated in the data base MEREP_207 which PARENT_SYNC_KEY = '00000000 all the items with the same TOP = '00000000')
    Case B:
    When modifying in the backend with the transaction data with MB22, hundreds of records (items) are generated in the data base MEREP_207,
    with the same PARENT_SYNC_KEY, but with a different R3KEY (items with the same header). R3KEY here represents the R3KEY of the TOP plus a sequence.
    No one of the SAP Notes I searched applies to the current version of WAS.
    Thank you very much for the help.
    Best regards.

    Hi,
    it seems you key filed has the same value always or you do not have a key field - what I do not get if you talk about Notes - are you using a standard SAP Mobile App or is you mobile AP custom build?
    Well, if I get it right you end up with just one dataset instead of 100 and always the last one overwrites the one before (cause SyncKey is the same)?
    In that case, please check you data model for KeyFields and check that these are different. What do you do in the getlist and getdetail handlers?

  • Data Base modification.

    sir,
    I know, as programmer I'm asking wrong question.
    Actually, I modified posted sales invoce(VF02), and related Fi accounting documents.
    that is 1)Accounting Document  2)Profit Center Doc. 3)Controlling Document.
    Now problem is that:- General Ledger Account balance displayed in transaction FAGLB03,
    may not match with balance for the same period (that is period 7) 
    on double clicking on cell in FAGLB03.
    But the balances after double click are correct and I cannot modify FAGLFEXT table
    because it contains very huge amount.
    Can any one help me, to  correction of the balances on FAGLB03 or avoid inconsistance
    in data base .
    Thank You,
    Manoj.

    Hi Manoj ,
    Due to your manual changes in the database , it has become inconsistent.
    You should avoid these types of changes untill you know full process flow and all the database tables that are needed to be updated.
    Suggessions :
    1. Keep record of your changes , it may require to be reverted.
    2. Try to find all the database tables that are updated during the process.Use Trace for this, Search insert and modify statements.This is time consuming.
    3. Go in techincal setting of the field showing wrong value and check if it is dirct froma database table , if yes you can update the database table.
    If it is structure , use where use list.
    Hope this provide you some help.

  • How can I find a data base table containing a GUID, which is result of the macro's execution?

    Hello,
    please help me to understand how the macros work. I am facing database inconsistency. The CRM-system retrieves a GUID of an opportunity’s item and checks its existence. However, this GUID (here it is es_info-ref_object) does not exist. As result, an exception is triggered.
    I am trying to figure out which data base table is responsible for the inconsistent data. Instead of SELECT statement, I see in the debugger that a macro retrieves the “guilty” entry .
    macro_execute macro_msg_data_read_rea.
    My Question: How can I find a data base table containing a GUID, which is result of the macro’s execution?
    Thanks a lot

    When you save a PDF out of Distiller it doesn't just have different options, it's an entirely different program. It doesn't do things the same way, so it can't have the same options. Saving from Distiller is in many ways better, expecially in that transparency isn't flattened.
    What specific options are you looking for?

  • Data base was broken now its fixed

    When I installed 2.0 I upgraded my broken data Base because I never thought I would find the broken part anyway. Well "knock on wood" after playing with it for a little while I restarted aperture to rebuild the data base expecting to find errors all over the place. None!
    I know Apple worked on the data base but I didnt expect this. I have run Cocktail in between the rebuilds but I'm pretty sure that would not of done it. Apple did it right ... at least by me.
    Hope others work out too

    If you restore to an older backup, you will get the content that is in the backup. Everything on the iPhone will be erased and you will be brought back to the time that backup was made.

  • Post BI 7.0 Technical Upgrade warning in Data Basis

    Hi,
    We have carried out technical upgrade to BI 7.0 . After upgrade, there were some inconsistency in Data basis which was removed thru System Synchronization program. Similarly consolidation area and source data basis also are consistent after saving.
    However, when I carry out CHECK (right click and check) on Data Basis, it is throwing warning message for 0BCS_REFYR (master data) and 0BCS_DPER (master data)
    The error message for one of them is re-produced below:

    Hi,
    What are you trying to achieve with a single WITH clause and no SELECT?
    Please see this from the documentation if you want to use it properly :
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_10002.htm#i2077142
    Apart from its true purpose of subquery factoring, the WITH clause is often use here and there to simulate a table content, but you'll always need a SELECT.
    Maybe that's what you were trying to do?
    As for your question, starting with release 10.2, Oracle provides XMLTable to shred XML documents into relational structures.
    For example,
    with t as (
    select xmltype('<Message-Header>
    <Message-Id>1234</Message-Id>
    <Sender-Company-ID>4569</Sender-Company-ID>
    <Sender-Company-Name>abc company</Sender-Company-Name>
    <Sender-User-ID>AA</Sender-User-ID>
    <Recv-Company-ID>050</Recv-Company-ID>
    <Recv-Company-Name>XYZ pvt.ltd</Recv-Company-Name>
    <Creation-Time>20101019 15:59:39</Creation-Time>
    </Message-Header>') as xml from dual
    select x.*
    from t,
         XMLTable(
          '/Message-Header'
          passing t.xml
          columns
            message_id          number       path 'Message-Id',
            sender_company_id   number       path 'Sender-Company-ID',
            sender_company_name varchar2(30) path 'Sender-Company-Name',
            sender_user_id      varchar2(30) path 'Sender-User-ID',
            recv_company_id     varchar2(30) path 'Recv-Company-ID',
            recv_company_name   varchar2(30) path 'Recv-Company-Name',
            creation_time       varchar2(30) path 'Creation-Time'
         ) x
    ;If you're working in PL/SQL, and the XML resides in a variable, you can directly do (with necessary datatype conversion in the SELECT) :
    insert into your_table ( <your_columns_list> )
    select <your_columns_list>
    from XMLTable(
          '/Message-Header'
          passing your_xml_var
          columns
            message_id          number       path 'Message-Id',
            sender_company_id   number       path 'Sender-Company-ID',

  • Can any one help me to configure the mysql table to enable user expiration to function, I have tryed most things, but not dates are being passed back to the data base from the form

    Im trying to build  user expiration into my registration form, but I cant get the form to send back the date registering.
    in my data base i have tried every thing from timestamp to datetime. I can get a timestamp but it is not functioning with the expiration?

    just have a look at my tutorial Login tables: installation & configuration where the required column attributes are explained and where you can obtain a fully functional SQL dump for a typical ADDT "login" and (optionally) "login_stats" table.
    BTW, "expiration" will have to be an "int" column.
