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 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 (which has worked great for months), I get this response:
There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
Please help!! Thank you!! =)Sonny3300, your signature says "Aperture 2" - is that correct? Then you need this trouble shooting guide:
Aperture 2: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
What is your Operating system version and where is your library located? Have imported new images recently or changed the location of your library?

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. -
When I try to update an app in the App Store i get a message "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13)" I have tried many many times and keep getting the same message. How do I resolve?
First take the steps recommended in this support article. If there's no change, continue as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -

Can't print to my Canon Pro-100. Get error message:There was an error opening your printer. Printing
Can't print to my Canon Pro-100. Get error message:There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be availableuntil you have selected a printerm and reopened any documants.
Your printer driver is having problems.
Resetting Photoshop's preferences sometimes clears it up (by removing previous print settings that the driver is supposed to read, but sometimes fails at).
Otherwise you'll have to work with Canon to figure out why the driver is misbehaving. -
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.

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 Aperture 3- I get this message : There was an error opening the database for the library...(name of library).

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 ?

What is your Aperture 3 version exactly?
Tell us all that might give us a clue to what might be going on.
As a first trouble shooting measure try the Aperture library first aid tools:
Launch Aperture with the key-combination ⌥⌘ firmly held down and select "Repair database" from the pop-up panel. Can you launch Aperture this way on the library?
