Library Repair

When I try to open a library, Aperture tells me there is inconsistencies in it and it needs repair. I run the repair and get this message: "There was an error opening the database for the library" - is my data gone or is there something I can do to get it back?

Hi gestone;
I finally found the web site I was looking for originally. Maybe if you look at the site on Aperture recovery it might help you.

  • My iPhoto images won't show, and Photo Library Repair will not open when I command-Option-click on the iPhoto icon.

    Some of my iPhoto albums will not show, as below:
    When I click on any of those individual albums, for a brief split second I can see the images displayed, but then they revert to this:
    Then if I click on any of those images, this image appears:
    I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening. Each time I do it, iPhoto just opens as it normally does. I've tried about 10 times, closing iPhoto completely. I've tried through the dock icon and through the applications listing. Neither will open anything other than regular old iPhoto.
    Can anyone help me and suggest what I may be doing wrong, or are there any alternative was to open Photo Library Repair so I can rebuild my library? I really don't want to lose all of those photos, especially since some are really important and irreplaceable.
    Thanks.

    Be sure you're holding the correct keys and that you're holding them long enough. Depress them before clicking on iPhoto and don't let go until the menu shows up.
    If you don't want to lose those photos, make a back up now. Hopefully it's not too late.

  • Blank thumbnails even after library repairing

    Photos works flawlessly on my 2013 MacBook Pro but doesn't work on my 2009 iMac 27". All the thumbnails remain blank after multiple library repairing and restarting (app and computer). I used the Option + Command + App Launching to access the library repairing function. What else can I do?

    carlaz:
    If you rebuild does not work you might try moving the contents of the Data folder to the trash and the rebuild again with the first three options. That will force creation of new thumbnail files. Another way that will work when the normal rebuild does not is to use iPhoto LIbrary Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    Yes, putting the library on an external HD with the ownership turned off is the best way to share a library.

  • IPhoto Library Repaired and Corrupted...pse Help..

    Hi and tnxs for reading.
    Today I had a big issue with iPhoto 9.5.1.
    I use it daily and the integrity of my photos is paramount.
    I have multiple Time Machine Backups for this reason on different HDs and TC.
    Today, while transferring through USB my photo from iPhone to the Mac (running Mavericks), it suddenly shutted down. That was probably due to an old USB to lightning cable not working properly. I replaced it with a new one and the issue did not appear anymore.
    However, when I opened iPhoto again, it automatically did a Photo Repair. At the end of it, I noticed that my Events were not sorted manually as they were before but alphabetically, but the worse thing is that I have a folder “Repaired photo” with 200 photos: 30 of then are blank and if I click them I get a message informing me that there is no reference anymore to that photo. As regarding the other photos in the folder, they are both in the folder and in the original events (as far as I have been able to check).
    I would like to be sure to have everything repaired correctly. What is the best thing that I can do?
    Can I rename the photo library to keep it as a backup copy just in case I cannot go back to the original, and restore the last Time Machine backup of my Photo Library? If yes, what is the correct procedure, step by step? Anything I risk by doing that? any reference or any data I am going to lose if I go for it?
    Any other advice please just if there was another test to do with the current library before going to use Time Machine backup?
    Many thanks.
    Cheers.

    I would like to be sure to have everything repaired correctly. What is the best thing that I can do?
    The best course would to restore the library backup copy made just prior to the aborted download and problem occurred.  Then reimport the photos from the iPhone.
    Here's how to restore a library from TM:

  • Odd Result from Library Repair

    Today, as I was requesting Aperture to export one photo to Facebook, I got the message that inconsistancies had been dedected.  Although rare, this does happen from time to time, and Repair is always successful.
    But this time, after the repair, I had a Recovered Project in the list of projects.  It identified two files as problematic, and not displayable.  Checking one of my clones of the Library, I found these to be two .mov files that in fact had not imported properly (but had on another Mac, into another library), and which were in the Trash in Aperture.  Other photos were in the trash, yet only these two were plucked out for a Recovered Project.  They remain in the Trash -- Curious!
    Ernie

    That is indeed curious. I'd expect in the "Recovered" project only originals, that are found as orphaned in the library, and have lost the connection to the versions, but not any corrupted files?

  • IPhoto Referenced Library: repair aliases

    Hello everyone, I have an iphoto referenced library of about 58 thousand pictures, I have the originals stored on a 1TB lacie hard drive ("castor") connected through firewire 800. Tonight I was doing some funny stuff in order to get that drive clean and empty for re-partitioning (since disk utility wound't let me erase a couple of mac journaled partitions I didn't need anymore without reformatting the whole volume), so I took all the pictures, documents, applications, and a mac os tiger (from which I boot sometimes) to another daisy chained 1TB lacie (pollux) and once I was done, back to it's original home ("castor"), I thought that, even formatted, it would keep it's original path, but may be it didn't for when I tried to open my library all of the files where missing. There were only thumbnails and once at full screen it would ask me for the current location of the picture and if canceled, it would show just a huge exclamation mark.
    I remade some of those aliases manually but there are 58,000 + files. So I am looking for a clever solution to get all those aliases fixed automatically without having to re-import all the folders containing my pictures again (not yet).
    A few days ago I had a rather similar problem with iMovie which I solved by following a tutorial; editing the project's binary file by turning it into html via terminal and then modifying it with the correct location of the files. I hope there might be some trick like this for my mess. I would guess all of the ilife applications have a similar architecture and way to work.
    I will post back if I find any fix for others to learn. Meanwhile, thanks in advance for your useful help and sorry for my english, I am Mexican... greetings! .

    Good day, unfortunately filebuddy did not work for me, however I found on the internet a hope for all of us having issue with our referenced libraries: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=711230
    This man affirms that by double clicking in one of the files and manually finding it's location when prompted (as expected in iTunes) was able to regain the order of his library.
    And in http://thedigitalstory.com/2010/05/reconnecting_master.html this function appears to be more reliable and may be I am upgrading to Aperture now.
    My "referenced videos" iphoto library seems to be working quite well, even though it passed through the same odyssey of getting out and back to my external hard drive, and it's also within an intricate directory structure.
    I certainly have the need of a referenced library since my computer's hard drive is laptop-size and therefore it can't run as fast for browsing 4 years of amateur digital photography, so I think there's no workaround about that, in fact it is a pretty amazing feature.
    Meanwhile I managed to solve it using automator: renaming folders, making aliases, and replacing the dead ones with these. The only problem is that the aliases made by automator which uses (I think) a similar method as Finder for creating aliases is that these links occupy much more hard disk space that the ones generated by iPhoto. I am sure I read on some other post that I can get into the iPhoto application package and mess around with its vital files to get the aliases repaired, in a similar fashion as I did to iMovie. Thank you for your help.

  • Aperture Library Repair fail

    Hello,
    I have Aperture 3, a 250GB Aperture Library and it faqiled to load this evening, just hung. I reapired permissions, tried to clean up the database and rebuild the database, none of which would run.I can find the library, look inside and see that the files are there in the folders. Aperture wont load it as the repair failed and was interrupted. Tried repair but the program bombs out.
    Am scratching my head what to do?
    Is there an external repair program that i can run over it? Aperture crashes out.
    Bummed

    I too am having difficulty with Aperture permissions.  This permission problem has plagued me for the last year.  Permissions will not verify using disk utility (Version 13) and disk utility fails to complete the repair after 7 minutes.  Now my Aperture drive with all my libraries will not mount.  The error message says to copy all files and reformat.  How do you do this if disk utility will not mount the drive?
    Here is the error log (or part of it).

  • Library repair stuck at 97%

    First: Yes, I have backups. I even have archived backups
    Anyway, I'm stuck at 97% for 10 mins. + during a repair. Force-quit does not show iPhoto as being unresponsive..
    Should I force quit anyway?
    thanks,
    Andrew

    Hey again Terence -
    I started it so long ago I don't remember... it's basically the option-command startup followed by repairs including most everything. I don't remember if I told it to back up all thumbnails. Probably.
    This may be what's taking so long, but honestly, if the process is known to go long for this stuff, apple's own Human Interface Guidelines should dictate a detailed progress report...
    I am not repairing from backup/archive, just directly to a library.
    thanks,
    Andrew

  • ITunes library repair/moving to external network drive

    Hello all, I wonder if you can help.  I have searched high and low for a solution to my situation, but to no avail, and so you really are my last hope.  I've been trying to get my iTunes library in order for quite a while and things have gone wrong, and it has really got me down as I'm worried I'm about to have to start again from scratch.  It has taken me about 6 weeks (spread out over the course of a few months) to rip the 18,000 tracks in my library, then another month or so to get all the metadata right, weed out duplicates, etc.  However, the music collection is so big I have had to place it on a network drive in batches (which has the benefit of being able to access it on any laptop at home - but whatever I do iTunes just doesn't like it.
    I can't actually bring myself to recount everything I've done as it's a bit upsetting so I thought I might just summarise the situation that I'm now in to see if anyone could help.  I would be very grateful.
    I now have a network drive with an iTunes style folder structure within it's music folder, and within that artist/album/song.wav file path.  For reasons I'll explain later I have many MP3s, a few AACs, and *lots* of WAV files - which sadly, don't hold track metadata, otherwise I could have just re-imported all the files into a new iTunes library.  However correct metadata and having the files as WAVs are vital (again, I'll explain later), so it's not something I can change.
    I have moved iTunes libraries before when I have moved PCs without any hitches, by moving the music folders and files and doing a search and replace in the library file to point to the new locations.  I thought this would be the same situation.  It's complicated by the fact that I had been hoping to put the music files and library on the network drive so that iTunes on my Mac and PC would be able to access it and write back metadata changes, play counts and so on.
    I've not been able to work out how to do this as file paths to the network drive differ on both OS's - Windows paths are more like \\DISKSTATION\Music\ etc etc whereas Mac ones are more like file://localhost/Volumes/Music etc etc
    I don't understand networking very well so quickly gave up on the idea of trying to get my library to work off two machines with two OSs (though is someone can explain how/if this is possible, I'd like to try it again).
    Now I was left trying to get the library to work with iTunes on either just the Mac or just the PC, and I haven't managed it yet.  When I have been experimenting with amending the file paths in the library and opening it iTunes again I get little WiFi style icons, like the ones you see in the radio section of iTunes - indicating an audio stream - next to every track, and if you click play, it tries to open the track - but doesn't - and keeps trying.  It does this on both machines.  I've tried windows style file paths on the PC, and Mac ones with OSX, I've tried referring to the drive's network IP address and so on - but can't get it to work.  Most of the time it behaves as described above.  Some times it deletes the whole library and starts again from scratch.  At present the file seems to have reverted to the point after I had added all my tracks but before I'd amended the metadata.
    (I have a backup of the library file with all the correct data in it, but pointing to files in the wrong places, so I am happy to experiment.)
    I've read a lot of threads on similar external drive nightmares people have been having, and it is often mentioned elsewhere to consolidate the files to the iTunes folder once you have told iTunes of the new location, but this wouldn't have been practical - there was over 400gb of them to move over a (relatively) slow network.  And I can't consolidate now with the music files on the network drive as iTunes has all the information in the library, it just seems to not be able to find the files.
    So my question is what am I doing wrong and/or how can I fix the library to point to the files in the new location?  It must be possible as I have a version of the XML file with all the artist/album/filename.wav structure intact - it's just getting the bit before it correct and getting iTunes to accept the library once I've amended it.  Is there a way to get my library to recognise the files on the network drive properly - even just on one machine?
    I would be happy to start reloading tracks into a new, clean library but there is no metadata WITHIN the wav files like there is in the MP3 and WAVs and so I'll be left with a lot of wavs that aren't titled properly (and I really can't face going back and adding the titles and artists for thousands of tracks again).  Before moving the library I *did* rename the files with artist - track - genre - year etc. etc. information - so if there was a way for iTunes to rebuild the library with information from the filename, I'd be happy to try it.  But even the great Doug's iTunes Scripts website can't even offer anything like that.
    To explain the point about the files being all WAVs - the files are going to be used for broadcast and so need to be in the best quality in a format that can be opened - FLAC won't work.  And similarly, the metadata is important as it will be used in a professional situation too.
    Any help would be gratefully received as if this doesn't work I seriously think I will stop buying music as I don't want to add to the problem!  I can't face months of ripping everything in again.  I'm so fed up. 

    Yes it's quite possible, that's how I have mine set up, and Moving iTunes Music will tell you how to go about it.
    Pitfalls? Can't really think of any.
    Regards
    TD

  • Aperture repaired library, now it says there's an error in the library and doesn't open it

    I'm running Aperture 3.2.3, and the following happened:
    I'm keeping my library on an external harddrive. As I had the library open in Aperture, the external hardrive got accidentally disconnected. I quit Aperture, reinserted the external harddrive, and reopened the library. Aperture told me that it detected inconsistencies in the library and that it would repair it. After finishing the repair process on the library, I tried to open it and got the following message: Warning, there is an error in the database of the library, and only gives me the option to quit the program.
    What can I do?

    Hold down the option and command keys while you start Aperture this will open the library repair window. Select Repair Library, see if that clears the problem.
    BTW what format of the external disk that the library is on?

  • Repair corrupted images in library

    I have a somewhat unusual (I hope) problem -
    A while back my primary hard drive died. It was where I stored my Aperture library. (All of my photos are backed up elsewhere.)
    I was able to restore the library from backup, but I am finding that some images that were stored in it didn't make it through the process intact. (Referenced files are fine, and thankfully most of my files are referenced.) What I would like to do is replace the damaged files with their backed-up originals, preferably changing their status to referenced in the process.
    So far all I've been able to do is re-import the files as referenced, which loses all of the metadata that I had entered previously. I'd like to do something like 'locate missing files' instead, except that option is greyed-out for files stored in the library. Is there another option?

    You could try relocating the managed originals. Once they are out of the Aperture library you could then replace the file with the backed up original. Not sure if this will work so you best try it out on one or two images first.
    What is wrong with the managed originals that came in with the backup? Have you tried doing a library repair to see it that fixes the issue?

  • Repair aperture library

    In trying to use aperture, I get repeated  "inconsistencies in library, repair". How do I correct this problem?

    Back up your Aperture Library and try the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" as described here:
    Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    Press and hold the Option and Command keys as you start Aperture. The Aperture Library First Aid dialog will appear and offer the three troubleshooting options - "Repair Permissions", "Repair Database", "Rebuild Database".
    Try all three options in turn, starting with the "Repair Permissions". Post back, if this does not solve the problem.
    If you cannot get to the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" while launching Aperture with " Option and Command keys", select the Aperture Library in the Finder, and firmly hold down the Option and Command keys, while double clicking the Library.
    Regards

  • Repair library stalls at same place

    created my first vault .... ran all night.... no progress after about 70%.....forced quit.... restarted....library repair necessary....stalls at 60% every time...what now?  Half a vault on external and library won't repair.  Thanks.  PS. Aperture has worked well for me for about 3 years.

    what is the shortcut keys to rebuild?
    Select the library and hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ firmly, while double clicking the library to launch Aperture. From the panel select "Rebuild Database". You could also do a "Repair permissions", while you are at it.
    i ran upgrades on my Adobe Creative Cloud programs - CS, Bridge, and LR.
    Are these upgrades compatible with Mt. Lion?
    Deleted a bunch of images to clear up some hard drive room.
    Can it be that this delete accidentally deleted image files that are part of your Aperture library? Referenced originals, or a search, that included the Aperture Library?
    Sometimes "Repair" does not succeed, when the library contains incompatible videos or corrupted images.
    The vault I designated was on a relatively free partition but on the same drive as my library.
    Is your drive formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled)? How is your drive connected?
    If you are worried, if your drive might be failing, open it in Disk Utility and use the First Aid panel to check the drive.

  • What does this mean:"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    My computer is running well but I get this every time I repair the disk permissions, does anyone know why?:
    “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAge nt” has been modified and will not be repaired.ACL found but not expected on “private/var/root/Library”Repaired “private/var/root/Library”ACL found but not expected on “private/var/root/Library/Preferences”Repaired “private/var/root/Library/Preferences”
    I don't believe I've ever had absolutely nothing ...
    Thanks.

    That's a permission issue caused by an Apple Remote Desktop client update. It can be ignored and it does not cause any issue, so do not worry about it. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448

  • Migrating and repairing library

    Hello. I´m trying to translate my library ( a little more of 100.00 pictures all referenced ina a external DRobo FW 800 ) from my "old " imac 24" to a new imac 27 ".
    I ´ve copied it and when i start Aperture ( wich is a newer version that i had in the old imac24) it ask me to actualize the library. i did it and it works correctly as i´ve connected the Drobo via a thunderbolt/FW800 adapter. I check exporting some files and all is perfect.
    Then the Aperture star to rebuild previous and hangs out somewhere at 17.000.
    I close and reopen and then it tells me to rebuild library: start to rebuild for less of an hour and reaches the 100% complete. But Aperture doesn´t start.
    Should i wait more?
    Another thing i´m thinking to do is to copy again the old library into the new imac, actualize, reopen and merge into a new blank library...
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
    Roberto

    As i have to force it down when i open it again it says due to many crashes lobrary needs to be repaired. I force it down again and open via ALT+CMD to rebuild instead of repair. And now i, m waiting again...
    Your library is reperenced to your Drobo, right? You could try to run the library repair with the Drobo offline. Dismount the Drobo, before you launch Aperture into the First Aid Tools. This way you should be able to get the library repaired or rebuilt, without the preview generation interfering.
    Then quit immediately, connect your drive again,  and relaunch Aperture with the Shift key held down.
    I think i´m going yo chek tjhe last solution: make a new blank library and merge the old into it.
    That should help, if the prewiew problem is caused by a library corruption - try it.
    processing previews" and when it starts i can work but sometimes crashes
    Crashing when creating previews can be caused by having imported corrupted media, that cannot be processed, unreadable image files or unsupported videos.   
    If the problem persists after repairing or, rebuilding the library, you need to screen your library for corrupted media. One single defective video or image file can be causing this problem. If you can get your library repaired, with the Drobo offline, try this:
                     How to Screen an Aperture Library for Corrupted Image Files or Videos
    I just noticed, you never answered the question about the filesystem on your Drobo, only about the filesystem on your internal drive.
