Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

Also one more thing
On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

3.4.2 Aperture library won't open after 3.4.3 update

I have two libraries...the old (archive) library updated with the 3.4.3 update, but my new primary in another location did not. Now when I try to open the new library (3.4.2) I get a message stating that I need:
"To import this iPhoto library in Aperture, it first needs to be upgraded. Verify that you have iPhoto 9.4 or later. Then open the library in iPhoto to upgrade it."
I dont have 9.4 and cannot figure this out...
Please help!

Léonie,
After it started working again, the library will not open despite being upgraded to version 3.4.3.
Its giving me the same error message:
Suggestions?

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

Leonie,
Fisrt let me thank you for your reply and assistance! So here is the problem with so more detail...I was not sure I was going to get any replies ; )
I restored from a time machine back up.
History of Failure:
I was trying to launch Aperture when the kernal panic occured. My computer had been closed, and asleep and the battery was dead. I plugged in charger and it was restoring/waking up after being asleep/shutting down from dead battery. I launched Aperture from the dock and as soon as it opened the kernal panic occured. After that the computer would not turn on. It would try to boot then it would shut off. I even tried to safe boot to no avail. I went to the Apple store and they told me that the only thing I could do was restore whole computer from back up. So thats what I did.
Since then my previous aperture library: "2011" will not open. I have created a new aperture library "2012", and it runs fine. I have added new photos for about the past month...no problems.
When I launch aperture with 2012 library then try to switch libraries, I get the following prompt: "The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch." I choose "Relaunch" and I get the following warning prompt: "There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library 20111.aplibrary”." The only option is "Quit"
Both libraries are version 3.2.3
Computer stats: 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.6.8
I have tried to launch aperture troubleshooting by holding option+command from both the aperture icon and from the library file, neither will launch the troubleshooting feature.
I am ok with computers, but not a whiz (mechanical engineer)...to me it seems as though there is a corrupt path or file or some sort of "check" that is failing, becuase the failure occurs so fast after trying to launch aperture. Maybe that doesn't make any sense but just a thought.
I hope that you may be able to provide some insight. Thank you again for you time and I hope that you have a nice day!

Library won't open after ML upgrade

My iPhoto library won't open. I click on the icon, and it will try to start iphoto, and will say that it unexpectedly quit a couple of times. Then it will finally pull up a balloon= asking me if i want to open the windows that were open when it crashed. Wither way, THe library won't show up, adn when I tell it to change to my iPhoto library, it does nothing. This started happenning as soon as I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have run system update, and am running the latest version of all my software.
Please help.

I had a similar problem, after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my (2008) MBP with iPhote form iLife'09 on it, it said it couldn't open the database because changes had been made to it with a newer version of iPhoto (?). After trying lots of things, like restoring the library from Time Machine again (first time I used the migration assistant), I finally found my solution: upgrade iPhoto to 8.1 first, using
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL885
Mystically, at first my MBP didn't want to run the update, said the developer was not to be trusted (???), I had to change my security settings temporarily to make it run software 'from any source', but that did the trick. I can now use my old iPhoto from iLife'09 again. Hope it helps for you as well.

HELP!!!! Aperture 1 won't open after I installed Snow Leopard.

Aperture 1.5 won't open after I installed snow leopard. Why is it not working?

Because it's incompatible. You need to upgrade to version 2.1.4 or newer.

My Aperture Library won't open.

It has been a week of trying to recover my 250gb aperture library. I have followed the support given by apple to the "t". To no avail. I've repaired permissions, repaired database, deleted user preferences, moved the user created presets, deferred preview generation, and even reinstalled aperture on my computer.
Generally, at this point I would just give up, but these are 7 years of photos organized and timed the way i want them to be. I will not give up.
As it seems not the rebuild database seems it would be the best solution but it starts off then just crashes.
Any suggestions on what to do?

my advice...
1) run disk utility (applications/utilities/disk utility), and then click on your external drive from the column on the left and then click "verify disk" on the bottom right of the disk utility window. This will check to see if the external drive has any problems. (If you have a program like drive genuis or tech tools then use that instead of disk utility.) Once your external disk checks out ok, click on your osx volume from the column on the left and then click "repair permissions". After this is done, continue to step 2.
2) Do like the previous poster said and start aperture by holding the option key. When the menu comes up, pick "create new library". Does aperture start ok with the new empty library? if so, from inside aperture, at the top of the menu, click "file, switch to library, other/new" and pick your old aperture library. If it loads, then exit out of aperture and go to step 3. If it locks up, just force quit aperture (click the apple at the top left, then force quit, then pick aperture). Now go to step 3.
3) hold down both the option and the command key. When the menu comes up, pick "repair permissions" after this is done, does aperture start with your library? If so, exit aperture and repeat but this time pick "repair database". It may take awhile. It should load. If it does, does it seem to be working correctly now?

IPhoto Library won't open after upgrade to mountain lion

One of my iPhoto libraries (stored on a WD Pasport Studio) won't open properly after upgrade to Mountain Lion 4oo5 open ok. One opens but disc symbol keeps spinning and Iphoto stops responding. Any ideas?

See if anything in here will fix it:
1. Hold down the Command and Option keys as you click the iPhoto icon.
The Photo Library First Aid window opens:

Aperture Library Won't load after update to Aperture 3.1

My copy of Aperture was recently updated to version 3.1.
Since then I cannot get my Aperture library to load in iWeb.
When I opened Aperture for the first time after the upgrade, I was prompted the the library needed to be upgraded, so I'm guessing that iWeb is not able to work with this upgrade.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Is there a fix? (I checked for updates, but it says I'm up to date.)

* Solution Found! *
After searching through many a forum I found a solution. (Actually I found it a couple of times, but I had a little trouble figuring out how to delete a file from the Aperture library (a package.)
Here’s what worked for me:
1) View the package contents of my Aperture library (right click on the file in Finder and click on view package contents)
2) Find delete a file named ApertureDatabaseTimestamp in the iLifeSharing folder.
3) Change the permissions on the iLifeSharing folder to read only so this file cannot be re-created.
I also found some posts which indicated that tiff files with invalid dates could also cause the problem. In this case, the resolution was to update the date.

My aperture library won't open - it's stored on an external R6 pegasus drive?

Have been through the various other threads and followed most of the ideas - repair disk permissions, plist delete, rebuild database.
The application works ok and when it is not trying to access the library stored on the pegasus it works fine - I guess the librray on the pegasus must be corrupted some how but can I get to the unerlying files and re-import?
Help!?

Yes it's Mac OS extended. I've had it working before but since the file size became so large (200GB+) it has started to have problems. I just tried it with another laptop where I installed a new version of aperture and it said that the library rebuild had been interrupted. It restarted the rebuild and now I can get access but I'm worried about the stability going forward and every time I try to move the aperture library (by copying it to another external drive) or update the vault it just hangs.
So I'm not sure whether this is an imac issue, an aperture issue or a problem with the compatibility of the pegasus storage (I suspect the latter)?
Any thoughts on what to do or just cross my fingers and hope it doesn't happen again??

Help, everytime I try to rebuild my library, aperture crashes (was my aperture library won't open)

I have tried to recover my aperture library through all methods specified by apple. Rebuild was my last option. Is this library lost for good? It is with all my masters and organized painstakingly over the last year.
I am running osx v10.6.7 on an intel 17" macbook pro. The library is 250GB on an external 5ooGB Harddrive. Aperture 3 with the latest version.
Any suggestions?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Photo library won't open after iOS 5 update

I updated both my iPod Touch and iPhone 4 to the new iOS 5.0 right after it was released. I initially noticed that my library of photos would not fully sync to both products but I remedied that by manually clicking each photo album I have available via iTunes. Now I'm noticing that when I try to open my Photo Library in either the iPod or iPhone, it takes noticable time to do so. I have a little over 16,000 pictures on each one.
In addition, once i applied the updates, I found that certain album art from my iTunes music would not display on either the iPod or iPhone. However, the album art is showing inside iTunes. Incidentally, this seems to only affect albums that have duplicate songs from the same album.
Any thoughts or ideas ?

Have you tried closing the Phot Booth app completelyand seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Photo Booth 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photo Booth app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Pages won't open after installing new HD

I have a 2009 intel iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). After installing a new hard drive, the OS, and all my programs, none of the iWork 09 programs (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) will open.

Pictures in gallery won't open after using MediaShare to upload to a PC

I have a Motorola Droid 2 Global, and recently uploaded pictures to the computer using Media Share, and a USB connection. After I did that, in my Gallery, I can see the thumbnails of my photos on my phone, but if I tap the picture to open it, it shows an empty movie reel picture, and I cannot access the picture. If I plug the USB back in, and copy/paste pictures just that way, I can get the pictures on my computer. BUT I just want to have the pictures on my phone, and be able to open them on my phone.
HELP!

LovebugKZ, thank you for sharing your concerns about your gallery. I would suggest trying a few basic troubleshooting steps first like power cycling the phone, if you haven't already. Next, clear the data/cache from your Gallery. This will not erase any pictures, as they are stored on your SD card.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

IPhoto / Library won't open after MAC Refresh

I recently did a fresh install of my MAC, where I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled MAC OS X Lion. I had all my important files / folders backed up to my Time Machine and I proceeded to copy these back to my machine following the install.
I reinstalled iLife 09, ran the required updates and pointed iPhoto to open my copy of the Library file. I could see all the Events and Pics and then it proceeded to ask me about GPS and downloading pics from my digital camera. When I tried to click on Yes or No it just gave me the circling rainbow.
I looked at a few posts and tried various things they were suggesting in deleting and reinstalling iPhoto and it's files (com.apple.iphoto.pklist) and the pkg files. But that didn't seem to do anything. I tried copying the Preferences file and deleting it's contents, but that didn't do anything.
If someone could help that would be appreciated. It was working fine before I did the refresh.

When I first installed OSX Lion I tried restore the files during setup, but it couldn't seem to find the backup from the old installation on this Mac. I have 2 backups going on capsule 1. iMAC 2. Mac Mini. It could only see the mini.
So when I finished the installation I used finder and naviagted to the capsule and saw the backup there and just copied the folder over from the "latest" folder.
I decided that I wanted to try and get this right, so I started over again and have a fresh installation of OSX Lion with no data. I still couldn't see the back up, but can again using finder. However when I first click on the backup a window appears and says
"Mac OS X can't repair the disk "Time Machine Backups". you can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to the files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
Again I can still see the files and backups, but can't use Migration Assistant, or upon fresh installation.
Any suggestions?

PSE 8 won't open after installing new Wacom tablet

I have a PC that runs on Windows 7. I received my copy of PSE 8 with my Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch tablet around Christmas in 2010, and it's never given me any troubles before. About two weeks ago I purchased a Wacom IntuosPro Pen and Touch, and after installing the drivers, I went to open PSE 8 and it refused to open. There is no error message; it simply doesn't open. I've checked Task Manager and I can't find the application attempting to run there, either.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program about 4 times now. I've uninstalled the Intuos driver completely. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Bamboo driver. I've tried running PSE as an administrator, tried restoring it from a previous version, tried opening it from the file location rather than the desktop shortcut, searched for days online for anyone having a similar problem, and nothing has helped. I have a .psd file that I tried opening, and though PSE attempts to open, ultimately it ends with a screen that says "Adobe has detected that the application Adobe Photoshop Elements has unexpectedly quit", and prompts me to send a crash report.
PSE 8 worked perfectly fine the day before I installed the Intuos. I haven't changed a thing with my computer other than installing the Intuos (which again, is now uninstalled) and everything else works the same. I can't for the life of me figure out what to do.
If you can offer me any advice, I would very much appreciate it! I've been using PSE 8 for years and I love it, and I've loathed the last few days of being unable to use it. Thank you in advance!

ok...update...the editor will now open..but can't get the organizer to open. it just keeps saying "loading the lements organizer workspace. Eventually that message disappears, but then nothing happens.
