3.1 Upgrade Issues - Referenced File Locations Broken

I have been through the 3.0.3 to 3.1 upgrade routine now four or five times without success. Each time, the process stalls after the upgrade, during the opening library routine. Eventually, I get an error, quit, and rebuild the library.
That effort gets the program to open, but now all of my referenced files (about 72,000 of them) have lost their connection. Each image has a badge with a red line through it, and when I right-click on it to 'show in finder' I get an error message that says it cannot locate the file, as the previous location is 'null'.
When I go through the locate and reconnect function, it will only work on one file at a time.
I've noticed on the reconnect dialogue, that it shows the correct location except for the .NEF at the end of the path.
Also, I have noticed that the adjustments are not grayed out as they would be for an offline file, and are operational. However, they do not work.
There does not appear to be any processing going on in the background, although there is slight activity showing in my OS Activity monitor.
My db is about 70gb in size. I tried the upgrade on another db, and it worked fine. That db is much smaller, so I am not sure that the problem is related to the size, or that my db may be damaged somehow prior to the upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated. This is getting pretty frustrating.

OK.....thanks for the advice. But, confirm for me, please....
1. Set aside 3.1 app (does that simply mean rename it temporarily)
2. Restore 3.0.3 app from Time Machine.
3. Restore 3.0.3 db from Time Machine.
4. Run Rebuild on db.
5. Run resulting db from 3.1 app and perform upgrade conversion.
That should take care of the rest of today....:-)

  • Default configuration issue - scratch file location (win7 64)

    I have installed the public beta successfully, but the first attempt to run has failed: I got an error message stating that Photoshop does not have access rights for the scratch file or the scratch file is used by another application.
    Not sure if this is common practice, but my installation requires administrator account to create files in the root directory of the system drive (Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, SP1). I have managed to start CS6 by selecting "Run as Administrator" and then reconfigured it to create scratch file on a different drive. From then on all is good so far.
    Suggested ways of handling this issue:
    - make the location of the scratch file an installation parameter and test whether the file can be created
    - provide the location of the file in the error message: as is, it requires a bit of guesswork which may be too much for the new users
    Cheers,

  • FrameMaker 8 (Unstructured) - How to Find/Change "Referenced File" location globally?

    Hello,
    First off, I have a FrameMaker 8 (Unstructured) book that links ALL of its graphics, to a separate graphics folder on my network drive.
    With that said, I am hoping to do the following:
    1. Create a mirror copy of "Book A" and place that copy in another folder, (at the same level) on my network drive.
    2. Open up the new book file (e.g. Book B).
    3. Run a Find/Change to replace:
    ..\..\..\Graphics Catalog A\Graphics\a000123.png
    ..\..\..\Graphics Catalog B\Graphics\b000123.png
    The end result is that I could globally map out all the "Referenced Files" to the new folder path structure. This will allow me to save from having to manually re-import each of the 1000 graphics - into my book files.
    Finally, I am hoping to do this with the built in capabilities of FrameMaker 8 first. If that is not possible, then I will consider other possibilities.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Jim

    This is how you do it:
    Outside of FM, copy the "Book A" folder and paste it where you want.
    Also, create the Graphics folder and file structure (i.e.
    "... Graphics Catalog B\Graphics ...")
    Before you open Book B in FM, temporarily rename the graphics
    folder that the FM files in Book A uses, e.g. "Graphics Catalog Z".
    Now, when you open the files in Book B, FM won't be able to find
    the old graphics since the folder name has changed. For each file,
    FM will open the "Missing graphics" dialog, where you need to
    browse to the new graphics folder, e.g. "Graphics Catalog B\Graphics".
    Select the correct file that FM asks for, and tick the option to
    use this folder for all remaining graphics.
    If all the image file names are identical, you will only need to
    do this once per FM file. If you really need the image file names
    to differ like you said:
    > ..\..\..\Graphics Catalog A\Graphics\a000123.png
    > ..\..\..\Graphics Catalog B\Graphics\b000123.png
    then you need to select the correct file name for *each* graphics
    that FM cannot find. This is a good reason to keep the file names
    identical, even though the folder name has changed.
    When all the files have opened, rename the original graphics folder
    back to "Graphics Catalog A".

  • Importing mp3 library issue.  File location still on DVD (E) Drive.

    I am trying to import a rather large library from a mp3 DVD to iTunes. Yet when everything is done (I choose File/Add Folder to Library), the location of the file still points back to my DVD (E) drive. There is just too much music of this DVD for me to select File/Library/Import Playlist, as I only have the option of selecting an individual song rather than a complete folder.
    What would be the most efficient way to import this mp3 library onto my hard drive so I don't have to have the mp3 in my E drive every time I want to play a song?
    Thanks.

    Chris, thank you also for your quick reply!

  • CC Illustrator asking for referenced files upon opening (DropBox)

    I locate my CC Illustrator file on DropBox.  All of the files it references are also on DropBox.   I work exclusively on the Illustrator file on DropBox (I never download it to my computer and work on it).  I do this so that my wife can also open this Illustator file (on DropBox) from her computer and work on it - again with all of the referenced files located on DropBox.  She never downloads the file to her computer.  I just want to be clear about that. : )
    PROBLEM:
    1) I work on Illustator file on my computer then close it.  My wife opens it on her computer.  Illustator shows dialog box "Can't find _____.png file"   Do you want to Replace, Ignore or Cancel.
    So we "reconnect" by hitting "Replace" finding the file on DropBox that my computer always referenced.   The Illustator file opens, everything is in its place.
    2) My wife makes no changes to the file.  tries to "Close" the file and it asks her to "Save As".
    QUESTIONS:
    1)  Why does my wife have to locate reference files when all of the work is done on DropBox and all of the refence file are located on DropBox?
    2) Why does she have to "Save As" and replace the main file (located and opened on DropBox) when she has made no changes to the file?
    If it helps any, you should know we share the exact same DropBox account (not just a shared folder) which is set up on her computer and on my computer.

    The only thing I can think of why centralizing the folder on DropBox isn't working is that the pictures being referenced when on my computer are probably listed in Illustrator as:
    DropBox/mycomputer/Macintosh HD/Users...etc.
    Whereas when my wife opens this illus. file on her computer, it wonders where "mycomputer" went to.  So, she relinks the pic files and now Illust. makes the new links as:
    DropBox/hercomputer/MacintoshHD/Users...etc.
    She makes changes while the file (and all pic files) are still located on DropBox.
    I then open the file located on DropBox and it says "Hey, man, where is the pic file listed now as "DropBox/hercomputer/Mac HD...".  I then have to relink and then the new reference is DropBox/mycomputer/MacHD..."
    Not sure if that's why but that's my guess.
    The Old Thread above wrote about an Absolute Path that Illy is using. 
    Is that the official answer from the Adobe Illy team?  Is there a good reason for this?  How can multiple people work on a single file and ref files stored on a server and not have these pop-up, relinking dialogue boxes happen?

  • Locate referenced files... bug?

    First of all, I run a reference library.
    Every single time I launch Aperture I must do a "locate referenced files". It never remembers the location of my files, even though the library is always on a drive connected to my system. This has been a persistent problem going all the way back to 3.0.
    Now, prior to version 3.5, I could launch Aperture, do "Locate Reference Files", then select "Reconnect All", and it would re-connect my entire library. However, as of 3.5, "Reconnect All" never reconnects all. Instead, it ONLY reconnects the image I happen to be viewing. In other words, I must individually reconnect every single image I intend to edit, export, etc. This has become a nighmare. I needed to export 500 images for a client today, but I couldn't since I would have had to reconnect each file one at a time.
    Another related problem: If the image I'm trying to reconnect happens to be a PSD file, it will trigger an error saying "unsupported format", then the preview image turns black and I can no longer even see the image. When that happens, the only solution is to launch Photoshop, export the image as a TIFF or JPEG, then re-import back into Aperture.
    Prior to 3.5 I could "Reconnect All" as long as the image being viewed was NOT a PSD, and it would reconnect all files, including PSDs. As of 3.5, since "Reconnect All" is broken, it's impossible for me to reconnect PSDs without causing the "unsupported format" error.
    To summarize:
    1. I must reconnect every time I launch Aperture.
    2. "Reconnect All" doesn't work as of 3.5. I can only reconnect individual files.
    3. If I reconnect a PSD, it throws an error and turns the preview black.
    Any ideas?

    OK, well, after browing a bunch of other threads I found a way to make "Reconnect All" work, even though the process is different than it used to be. Here's how:
    Open the search box and view by "Offline" files. Then select all images and Reconnect All. Bam. Not only that, it seems to remember the location when I launch Aperture.
    I still think there's a Photoshop related bug, but for now I can live with it.
    I guess my issue has been resovled.

  • Issues With Reconnecting Library to Referenced Files

    I'm hoping somebody may be able to shed some light on very strange behavior I'm currently experiencing with Aperture. Before I continue let me say ahead of time that I've already run a Repair Permissions, Repair Database and a complete Rebuild Database on the Library. That said here is what's happening.
    My workflow consists of Importing all images via Aperture, as referenced files, on to a  small, external hard drive. When I return to my studio I manually copy the folder of images, from the small external drive, over to my desktop hard drive. The next step is to Import the Field Library to my desktop MAIN library. Once the Field Library is Imported into the MAIN Desktop library I then highlight all the images and select File>Locate Referenced Files. Though I've done this hundreds of times in the past, it's currently not working on some files. Here's where the very strange behavior comes in.
    When the Locae Referenced Files window comes up I see the image in the top pane that I want to reconnect. In the bottom pain I navigate to the drive the image now lives on, I find it and it too appears in the bottom window. So far all seems to be fine, except when I tried reconnecting, Aperture went through the process but didn't actually reconnect. I retried several times but after the first try to reconnect the Reconnect & Reconnect All buttons is grayed out.
    Ok, so what the heck is going on? I start reviewing the Metadata of each image while still in the Locate Referenced Files window. The file numbers are exactly the same but the time stamp on each image is different. Why I have no idea. I plug in the original mini field drive with all the images that Aperture Imported to check the Metadata on the field drive. Sure enough it's identical to the Metadata on the Desktop drive which means it's different from the Aperture Library on the orignal drive Apertue saved it to as well. But what's even more interesting is that the minute the mini hard drive is plugged in, Aperture sees it and reconnects the images automatically, even though the potential issue of the metadata timestamp being different is the same on both the mini field drive and my desktop drive.
    In summary, when Aperture wouldn't connect the images that were on the desktop drive I thought I found the reason; a discrepancy in Metadata. But when the original drive was plugged in, the same files had the same discrepancies yet Aperture found them fine.
    None of this would be a probelm if Aperture had the ability to FORCE RECONNECT. The images are exactly the same except for some minor metadata descrepencies that I have no idea how they got changed and I really don't care about. But............. how the heck am I going to get these fiels reconnected without a Force REconnect option. Any ideas out there?

    William is right - use the provided tools.
    . Never once could it not find the images once I took it and showed the exact path to where  the images were newly located. So what happens if that drive ever fails completely and I have to replace it with a totally new backup?
    There must be something wrong with your external drive, if reconnect is not working. I had never, ever trouble to reconnect the originals after copying or cloning a drive, when I restored a mac from my backup.
    Check the filesystem on your field drive, if the file system is MacOS Extended (Journaled).

  • Aperture 3, iPhoto-08 and Locate Referenced Files

    I usually import my photos to iPhoto-08 and work with my favorite ones in Aperture as Referenced Files.
    After upgrading my hard drive and using SuperDupper to restore my system to the new drive, the referenced masters are missing. I have tried Locate Referenced Files but the problem is that the iPhoto-o8 Library is shown as empty which is not. Navigating the bottom panel in Relocate Referenced Files, iPhoto-08 Library only shows 2 folders: Events and Last Import, with nothing inside them.
    Using Aperture iPhoto Browser I can see that all the files are in there. Using Finder I can see all my files under iPhoto-08 Library->Originals. No problem under iPhoto either.
    The problem seems to be that Aperture doesn't recognize iPhoto-08 Library structure since I upgraded my hard drive.
    Has any one had this problem? Any solution?
    Thanks in advance,
    Adolfo

    I just found out this piece of information:
    "Yep - Aperture 2 lets you reference files in your iPhoto libraries, while Aperture 3 does not... I have imported all my iPhoto libraries to the Aperture library now in a separate location from the iPhoto libraries."
    (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2328349)
    Can somebody confirm this?

  • Problems "locating" referenced files after importing from iPhoto.

    I recently began importing old iPhoto libraries to Aperture, mostly successfully, but have run into a couple problems locating referenced files. While the locate referenced files function worked for most of the photos, there are a handful of photos that, when I located the original file,  the time stamp was different (by 2 hours in most cases) and it was about 15% smaller than the file Aperture was looking for. As a result, even though it was clear from the thumbnails that they were the same images, Aperture doesn't even give me the option to Reconnect them.
    Aperture 3.4.5
    OS X 10.7.5

    . I use the Reconnect All button, but it only finds the one file, even when there are hundreds more in the same folder that are unlinked.
    Reconnect all works best, if you select all files that need reconnecting at once, and then select the first file in the list to reconnect. If the other files are in the same folder and are correctly named and match, then "reconnect all" should do it. But if the filenames differ, you will have to do it one by one.
    Also,  the files are all still correctly linked in iPhoto, but every single link is broken once I import it to Aperture.
    You are importing with "File > Import > Library", correct?
    That is supposed to work. Have you tried to repair your iPhoto Library before importing to Aperture?
    Use iPhotos First Aid Tools to repair:
    Try to repair the permissions, followed by repairing the library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools,  hold down the Command and Option keys ⌥⌘ while double-clicking the iPhoto library or the iPhoto icon in the Dock.
    The iPhoto Library First Aid dialog appears.  Select the Repair option you want to use - first "permissions", then "database".

    Upgrading from 5 to 7 should be as simple as opening the project and I don't recall it giving any broken link problems. Is your project on your local drive rather than a network drive? Is source control involved?
    What's the basis for thinking the CPD will cause performance issues?

  • Can't locate Referenced Files in Aperture 3

    All my photo master files are in separate directories on a NAS (network attached storage; 4x1Tb) and I import Projects from that into Aperture on my IMac.  I migrated my MAC Aperture Libraries to a separate external drive and lost some of the references to the Master.  I can reconnect some Projects to the masters on my NAS, but not all.  Some projects won't reconnect using  Locate Referenced Files.  I can find the files and match the photos and Aperture looks like it reconnected, but when I look at the separate images, I get "File not found."  I know the original photos are on my NAS because I can see them using a separate PC hooked into it, but can't seem to complete making the link to the master.  My intent is to move all masters into my Aperture Library because I can't stand losing photos this way anymore, but I need help making that link.  Any ideas what's happening and what to do.
    Even though I have the originals on my NAS, all my processed versions (4 and 5* photos) are in my Aperture Library and I hate to lose those.
    Update: I seem to be able to connect one photo at a time, but selecting an entire set of Project photos and doing "connect all" doesn't seem to be working.  I have thousands of photos and working one at a time is impossible.
    How can I get help?
    <Email Edited By Host>

    I migrated my MAC Aperture Libraries to a separate external drive and lost some of the references to the Master.
    How is your NAS formatted, where your original masters are stored? And how is the external drive formatted that holds your Aperture library?
    Your Aperture library needs to be on a drive formatted Mac OS X extended, Journaled. If the drive should not have that formatting, move the Aperture library to disk with the coorrect format.
    If you cannot reconnect originals, that are clearly there, the reason may be, that your Aperture library needs repairing, see: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    I'd try to repair permissions and to repair the library, before trying to reconnect again.
    Since you want to consolidate all originals in your Aperture library, I'd try to copy the originals that cannot be recoonected, to the same drive that holds yor aperture libryr and try to reconnect them there, then consolidate them from there. It can be, that the network connection of the NAS is not reliable enough.
