Aperture 3 will not load again after closing it without repair of database or permissions

I have Max OS X 10.8.5 on a Late 2009 iMac with 12 gb of RAM.
Repeatedly when I try to reopen Aperture 3 after closing it (and the prior close is a normal close without issue), I find aperture never loads. The icon in the tray says it's running but the window never opens.
The only thing I can do is Force Quit. Then if I'm lucky, I can open it again using the troubleshooting key combination and can select to repair database or repair permissions, and it will load.
This basically makes me never want to close it but sometimes it would be nice to do so. I'm also very worried about my library getting hammered and unusable eventually.
I have sent the reports to Apple but I'm not sure if anything will come of that.
The library size is 442 gb.
Any advice is appreciated.
Andrea

Hi léonie,
I have version 3.4.5 of Aperture 3.
My library is stored on an external hard drive. A LaCie 1TB drive.
I do not share the library between multiple users. I have occasionally opened the library in iPhoto since I upgraded both Aperture and iPhoto. Often I open in iPhoto because iPhoto doesn't seem to have the same problem opening the library that Aperture continues to have. So if Aperture is closed and I need a quick print out or copy of a photo that is in the Aperture library, I can reliably open it in iPhoto to get that accomplished quickly.
I cannot pinpoint an event that led to the trouble. It's been going on for many months now, and I've reached the conclusion that no combination of repairs of the library are helping and I should reach out to you all.
Thank you.

TM backs up Aperture library over and over again!

Ladies and Gents; I look forward to your insight how this happens. Every time I work in Aperture, Time Machine backs up the whole library file to my Time Capsule(1TB), eating space like hungry dog.
My aperture library is refrenced, so the actual pictures are stored in folders on the hard drive and Aperture only keeps the references. As I have some 15000 pictures amounting to some 40GB, the referenced library is 18.9GB in size.
Even when I just delete some pictures (in Aperture) or do minor adjustments (create a version of a picture in Aperture) TM backs up 18+GB every time.
For now, I have excluded the Aperture library from backups but would like to understand why this bug happens and how to avoid it. I have read somewhere that the latest 10.5.3 updated fixed this - but aperently not for me.
My software is always updated and the iMac packed with power. Thanx for your time.

I just did some reading on the forums and it appears that the issue happens when Aperture is running while TM runs backup. Subsequently, next time TM runs a backup while Aperture is not running it will back up the whole Aperture library all over again.
At the same time some people suggested that 10.5.3 has solved this. Not for me, any ideas?

Missing master files...again.

Well Aperture has lost my master files again.
I keep them on an external HDD and backed up to another external HDD.
How to point Aperture in the right direction? (thousands of images)
thanks

Hello Steve,
are you using Aperture 3.2.3?
Well Aperture has lost my master files again.
What was the reason the first time this happenend?
I keep them on an external HDD and backed up to another external HDD.
Is your external HDD connected and can you see the master image files in the Finder?
How to point Aperture in the right direction? (thousands of images)
Launch Aperture
Select the images with the missing masters in the Browser
In main menu bar select "File -> Locate Referenced Files"
The window that appears has two panels:
In the top panel you select one of the images with missing masters
In the lower panel you select the correct master file on your external volume.
If these two match, then the "reconnect" buttons will become available. Press "Reconnect all" and Aperture should find the masters again.
To be alble to connect all at once you may wish to create a smart album containing all images with missing masters:
File -> New -> Smart album"
and add a rule "File status is missing" or "File status is offline"
Good Luck
Léonie

Aperture 3.1.2 will fails on start-up (using 10.6.7)

I recently purchased Aperture and used it to some success early on. I believe after the last OS X update (I can't be positive), it began failing before it started. I'd click on the icon to start, and now I just get a crash report or something that looks like it came out of the Console.
Any ideas?

Hey Rodger,
I've had the same problem with the same software.
Here's what I read and tried that did not help in my situation, but maybe it will help on your system:
booting in 32-bit mode open (Get Info on Aperture and select Booting in 32-bit)
deleting Aperture serialization file
starting Aperture with CMD-Option-click and trying all three rebuild options
re-installing the appliaction and the recent updates
Here is what made the problem go away temporarily:
turning off AirPort allowed the application to open
however, turning AirPort on AFTER Aperture opened made it crash again within minutes
At last this is what stopped Aperture from crashing upon loading for me:
deleting the Preferences file .com.apple.Aperture.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences
Note, however, that after I did that last step that made MY crashes stop, I now have a smaller but more complicated crahsing issue with Aperture - trying to authenticate via the Facebook plugin is causing Aperture to constantly crash (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3119025). It doesn't impact any other aspect of Aperture - it works totally fine when I don't try to upload any photos to facebook.
Hope this helps,
Aleksey

I have a corrupt Photo file, that makes Aperture stop working properly.

I recently imported some of my old photos from a CD to the Aperture Library. Every time I open that project or try to work with any of those photos Aperture will stop working. (in a very aggressive way)
The viewer wont update.!
It wont make any change or save anything.!
I have to quit and restart Aperture to have it working again, I don't know what is wrong.
Any Idea?
Maybe new aperture .5 will fix this??

Another option would be to quit Aperture, remove the project from the Library using the Finder, reopen Aperture (the troublesome project will now be greyed out), throw the troublesome project out, and finally reimport the images back into Aperture. The only problem is you now have to re-do any adjustments etc. for that project. If he project has other images you do not want to re-do you could try just removing the problem import group, go back into aperture and then throw those images out, quit (you may have to force quit) Aperture and then restart Aperture. I did the above on a test Aperture library, but as usual you have to be carefull. Do not do any of this without first duplicating the troublesome library.

Aperture 3.1 takes incredibly long time to start

Since after the upgrade from 3.0.x to 3.1 Aperture takes a long time to start up. I click on the Aperture icon in the dock, the icon bounces for almost a minute, then it stays still for more than a minute, doing nothing and without the "light bulb" indicator that the app is running. It's just sitting there in the dock. After a total of 2-5 minutes, the Aperture window opens and I can start working.
I tried many things suggested in the forums to speed up Aperture:
I turned off Faces
I turned off sharing of previews with iLife and iWork
I turned off using embedded JPEGs from camera
I deleted all Aperture preferences as I thought there might be a corruption after upgrade
I removed all plugins from Aperture plugin folder to make sure nothing is interfering
I used the Aperture rebuild and repair options on the library
I created a new Aperture library and imported my photos from the old library into a fresh one
I downloaded and installed the Aperture 3.1 update again to make sure nothing got corrupted during update installation
Nothing helped. Aperture takes 2-3 minutes to fully start.
Plugins in use: NIK Software's Viveza 2 and HDR Efex Pro, Tiltshift for Aperture. That's it. And, as I said, it doesn't help if I take them out of Aperture's plugin folder so they don't get loaded. Problem still remains.
My library isn't that big: 29GB in 8230 items. Is 2-3 minutes a normal startup time?
Has anyone experienced a similar problem after upgrading? As I literally exchanged everything underneath Aperture (deleted preference files, created new library and imported photos from old lib) I don't know what else I could try. Totally uninstall Aperture and re-install it again?
Any suggestions what this could be?
On a sidenote, interestingly Logic Pro takes about the same amount of time to start. The icon bounces in the dock for almost 1 minute, then I hear the harddisk working for another minute until the splash screen finally appears. Logic Pro is loaded after 2 minutes and 20 seconds. I could boot my whole Mac 4x in that timeframe.

To everybody having this problem. I found out what the culprit was. As a documentation here is what it was.
I read some posts here on the forums that mounted USB sticks or flash cards would make Aperture super slow while importing photos. I have Boot Camp installed and have a Windows 7 partition on the same drive as my MacOS. So, out of curiosity, I forced it to unmount as the partition automatically gets mounted by the OS.
Voilà! That seems to have been the culprit! Now both Aperture and Logic (which also had to think 2 minutes before it decided to start) display the splash screen in seconds and start like they are supposed to.
Make sure you have no drives mounted when starting these applications. This helped bringing down the starting time from 2 minutes and 20 seconds to just a few seconds. Of course, if you have your library on another drive you have to have it mounted. Maybe it only takes so long when you have Boot Camp and an NTFS partition. But if you experience lags starting these apps, try unmounting what you don't need.

Aperture 3 Hanging after upgrade and possible solution

In advance, sorry for the long post:
As many have reported already, I was also a user of Aperture staring at the beachball and finding my computer hanging completely up to the point I was ready to give it flight lessons for free. I might have done this to my MacBook Pro if I was not leaving for an overland trip to Capetown from the Netherlands in a Toyota Land Cruiser in 2 days. If you want to read about the trip: www.africaminded.com.
How did I solve the issue in my case? I hope it helps some of you.
*My aperture setup*
Before you go through all the steps below let me explain how my Aperture workflow was set up:
1. Projects in Aperture correspond to folders on my harddrives. The project folders in Aperture contain reference files to the fils on my harddrives. The folders on my harddrives have the same name as the projects in Aperture. Using the same name does not really matter much, except I find it easier to find images from aperture back on my harddrive without having to use aperture to find the images.
2. I do not have the images imported into an Aperture library because this alllows me to access the images with other applications than Aperture (Photoshop etc).
Preparations:
*Actions I took before I started with a clean Aperture:*
1. Launch Aperture with holding the shift key. This defers Aperture from processing images in the library. Tip from Apple website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
2. Show Keywords HUD and export the keyword list in a separate file onto the desktop
3. Create folder on desktop called "Exported Projects"
4. Drag project by project to the just created folder. Yes this is a painstaking long process and one I would have liked avoided but I did not find any other solution and needed one. Luckily I only had 44 projects to go through.
5. Close Aperture
6. Delete the user preferences
1. Quit Aperture if still running.
2. In the Finder go to ~/Library/Preferences. (The tilde "~" represents your Home folder).
3. Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
7. Move the user created presets, keyword lists, and so on...
1. Quit Aperture.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture.
3. Move the contents of this folder to your Desktop
8. Delete your old Aperture Library or move it to another harddrive. If possible do not empty the bin of your computer (just in case you need the library again - I did not after following all steps below).
9. Reinstall Aperture; Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs nearby before starting this.
1. Open the Applications folder.
2. Drag the Aperture application to the Trash.
3. Insert your Aperture installation disc and install Aperture.
4. When finished, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu to update your software to the latest version.
*Now your computer has a clean install of Aperture*
1. Launch Aperture
2. Show Keywords HUD and import the keyword list that you saved in a separate file on the desktop
3. Move the following files back into ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture:
1. Adjustment Chain Presets.plist
2. FileNamingPresets.plist
3. Metadata Presets.plist
4. MetadataSets.plist
4. Close Aperture and go to
Following the steps below allows you to keep all you metadata and rating as well. It is possible in Aperture 3 to read and import sidecar files containing metadata but this will not include the rating! So if you want to keep your metadata and your ratings, follow the steps below:
(*A) Importing Project*s
1. Launch aperture
2. File > Import >Library / Project
3. After selecting the exported project you want to import, confirm you want to merge the project
4. Which library should be used when a conflict is detected? Choose current library (and not the library/project you are importing).
5. Let Aperture take its time to merge the projects (depending on the size of the project you import this can take longer and you might see the famous beach ball for a few seconds). In the beginning it will look like Aperture does nothing or hangs again.
6. After merging the libraries are completed Close Aperture.
7. Launch Aperture and immediately select Window > Show Activity from the menu. Let Aperture process new previews (this should start automatically after opening Aperture). Show activity will give you an idea how far Aperture is when processing the images so you don't have to stress and stare at the spinning wheel in the bottom left corner.
8. After the processing has finished Close Aperture again to save the new previews and share them with iLife and iWork.
9. Repeat the above until you have imported all your projects. Remember to keep repeating step 6 to 9. This allows you to find out which project contains corrupted images or is corrupt and to deal with it separately. Importing all projects at the same time and then processing all pictures at the same time does not give you the opportunity to figure out how to get rid of the beachball!
*(B) What to do when images are corrupted in a project?*
In case you imported a project that was corrupted or contains corrupted images that causes Aperture to hang completely and slow down your computer to a complete halt:
1. Force quit aperture
2. Reopen aperture and immediately press the shift key after launching the program. Pressing the shift key stops Aperture from rendering/processing the images you imported from the "corrupted project".
3. Select the last imported projected (the one that contains 1 or several corrupted images and gave you the beachball again).
4. Delete the project and empty the trash in Aperture as well. Do not delete the master files associated with you referenced images.
5. Move the corrupted project into a folder called "Corrupted projects". Do not throw the corrupted project away - we will deal with this one later. Just make sure they are not part of the main library you are building.
6. Quit and launch aperture. Aperture should not be processing any images anymore as you already completed that with step 8 above.
7. Complete the importing of your projects following the exact steps above, skipping the corrupted project.
Ps. In my case I found 1 project with corrupted images.
*(C) What do you do with the corrupted projects?*
1. Make sure that Aperture is not yet running.
2. Double click the corrupted project and press the shift key to defer the processing of images. This will launch aperture and treat the project as an individual library.
3. Select all thumbnails and export masters to a new folder and select "Create IPTC4XMP Sidecar File" in the pulldown list where it says "Metadata" in the export window. You should now have all master images of this corrupted project and the sidecar files containing the metadata of these images in the same folder.
4. Quit Aperture
5. Press the Alt-Key/Option-Key and Launch Aperture. Aperture should now ask you which library you want to open. Select your Main Library that contains all the projects you imported following step 1-9 above.
6. Create a new project for the images you are going to import from step 3 of section C.
7. Import the images and move them to where you want them to have. Aperture should import the non-corrupted images including their metadata (as the sidecar file of these images is in the same folder as the images). All you have lost in this case is the rating and possibly the adjustment of these images. The IPTC data will be imported by Aperture in step 9 Section C. You could survive having to redo the rating manually. Redoing the adjustments is a bit of more work, sorry.
8. Quit Aperture.
9. Launch Aperture with pressing the alt-key or option-key and select your main library as in step 5 and select "Show Activity" from the menu. You are now back into step 7 of section A. Complete step7, step 8 and 9 of section A.
*D. Congrats*
1. When all projects have imported correctly delete the projects from your harddrive to gain space.
2. Delete the temporary Aperture library created in section C step 2.
3. Re-install plug ins that you might have moved in the preparation phase (if possible 64-bit versions if available)
Congrats. You now have a completely new and well functioning new Aperture 3 library that offers you all the new features and is very fast I should say. My machine: MacBook Pro 2.93GHz with 4GB Ram.
After you think you can trust Aperture again empty your bin to gain space on your computer.
How long did this take me? All in all about 3 days but not full time luckily. How many real corrupted images? None - something else in the project data was messing everything up.

WOW!
I'm REALLY impressed by your exhaustive and detailled description!
How long did it take to write? Sure longer than the import itself...
Thank you so much. I got a working import of Ap2 lib before but your description have me various hints for handling problematic or faulty projects.

How can I get Aperture to find my lost Photos?

Hi
In a nutshell... I'm on my 3rd iMac (2 in the last 2 months have crashed) and it has data migrated from various backups (some corrupt!), so I have a fresh iMac, with a lump of data located in various places.
Now... Opening Aperture, all my old librarys give me a message along the lines of:
Consistencies dected, please repair.
OK. No matter what I do (repair, rebuild etc), nothing seems to get rid of the message, so I decided to grab what I can and export it to a NEW library.
This works fine now (as far as I can tell).
I have 3 libraries, the next one I came to - it only displayed 10ish photos in total. The rest of the photos were APPARENT however you can't view them - just a grey outline and the photo name - as the master is offline. I presume this stems from the data being moved around everywhere?
Now, SOME images show a grey outline, however when you double click on them - you can see them!
I understand why this has happened, due to the 3 or 4 times data has been moved about etc, but is there a way to get Aperture to find the images again? Without having to go through every single photo and re-import it. I also don't want to have to do ALL the adjustments again!
I've tried reprocessing/generating previews etc, but nothing.
Please help!
Thank you
Danny

Daniel, that looks like your Aperture Libraries are referenced libraries. When you imported your images into Aperture originally, did you select to store the images inside the Aperture library or in their original location?
If your library is referenced, then it is straight forward what needs to be done: You need to reconnect your edited image versions in the Aperture Library to the master image files. Do you know where the master image files are stored? Have you restored these images from the backup as well?
If you know where these images are, then you do the following:
Open one of your Aperture libraries.
Select a set of images that need reconnecting in the browser.
Select File -> Locate referenced File from the main menu bar.
In the panel that opens select an image that need reconnecting in the upper part of the window.
In the lower part point Aperture to the location of the master image file.
Now the reconnect buttons should appear. Press "Reconnect all"
Repeat for all Libraries and other all projects.
Good Luck.
Post back, if it does not work.

How do I stop Time Machine from backing up Aperture thumbnails?

Hi,
My 2TB backup drive recently became full, and I became curious as to what was filling it up. I wrote a perl script to analyze the Time Machine backups, and I noticed that over 50% of my backup was filled with AP.Thumbnails and AP.Minis from the Aperture project directory. In particular, the AP.Thumbnails files in the backup consumed 737 GB of disk space!
The problem with the thumbnails files is that they are a single file that contains all of the thumbnails for all of the 40,000 photos I have in Aperture and it is now 20gb in size. Every time I add a new file to Aperture, the thumbnail file changes, and I get a new 20gb of data added to my backup. I add photos often which means that most of my backups have 20gb of Aperture files (which are easy to rebuild and don't need to be backed up).
I decided to try and stop Time Machine from backing up these files, and there seems to be no way of doing so (without telling Time Machine to skip backing up my entire Aperture project which I don't want to do). In Finder, you can do a "show package contents", but the Time Machine GUI doesn't allow this.
I tried to tell Time Machine to exclude the files via the GUI, but Time Machine sees the Aperture Library as a single package and won't let me exclude individual files from within the package.
I googled around, and found the attribute that Time Machine puts on files to exclude them from the backup. I used xattr to set the attributes:
xattr -w com.apple.metadata:comapple_backupexcludeItem com.apple.backupd <filename>
I also used this command on the iPhoto thumbnail files.
I used spotlight to find all of the files with this attribute using this command:
sudo mdfind "comapple_backupexcludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'"
This command returned the iPhoto files, but did not return the Aperture files.
However, if I run "xattr" on the Aperture files, the attribute does exist!
During my next time machine backup, the iPhoto files were skipped as I wanted them to be, but the Aperture thumbnails were backed up again
I thought that maybe time machine was looking at the aperture package as an atomic unit, but iPhoto is stored as a package as well, and the attributes worked there on files inside the package.
Does anyone have any idea why time machine is still backing up these files? Is there any way I can get around this?
It seems to me to be an incredible oversight on Apple's part since both tools are Apple. The thumbnails files are very expensive to backup, and they are not necessary for backup since the are easy to rebuild from the original photos which are also backed up.
Thanks,
Ron

No need to write your own script for that. there are a couple of already made nice GUI tools for this - TimeTracker http://www.charlessoft.com/ and BackupLoupe http://soma-zone.com/BackupLoupe/
and I noticed that over 50% of my backup was filled with AP.Thumbnails and AP.Minis from the Aperture project directory. In particular, the AP.Thumbnails files in the backup consumed 737 GB of disk space!

I don't have aperture but I think most people exclude the whole thing from TM backups and back it up separately. but if you want to exclude a subfolder in a package that's easy too. just select the package in finder, control-click on it and select "show package contents". in the resulting finder window drill to the folder you want to exclude and drag it to the TM exclusion list in TM system preferences->options.
I googled around, and found the attribute that Time Machine puts on files to exclude them from the backup. I used xattr to set the attributes:
xattr -w com.apple.metadata:comapple_backupexcludeItem com.apple.backupd <filename>
I was not aware of this method for excluding stuff from TM backups. could you provide a link to where you found this?
I also used this command on the iPhoto thumbnail files.
I used spotlight to find all of the files with this attribute using this command:
sudo mdfind "comapple_backupexcludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'"
This command returned the iPhoto files, but did not return the Aperture files.
that's because Spotlight never looks inside packages unless you start a search inside a package directly. iphoto seems to be the only exception. I don't know how it's done.

Re: Aperture and storing files on external

Hi.
After reading this thread I guess I done something stupid...
I have a MBP mid 2009 with 500GB drive. I use Aperture for my photos but some time ago I run out of space on the internal disk. So after reading a bit about Aperture being capable to handle multiple library I marked a bunch of projects/events in Aperture library and exported as a new external library on an external disk. So far so god, I thought....
But now I'm getting close to running out of space again on the internal drive, so my plan was to mark more projects/events and export them in to the same external library that I created earlier, like fill it up a bit more to free more space on my MBP.
But, I haven't really found out how it can be done, or if it can be done. And now after reading this tread and the posts talking about +reference masters+ and not, I start wondering if I did something really stupid when I exported to a external drive as a new library.
How should I do now to get back on track, the right track again? So that I end up with my projects/events pictures on an external drive freeing space on my MBP and get everything right regardig the reference masters, so that I easily can manage my library in the future when it grow?
I'm not so experienced with Aperture so explain to me as for a three year old, as Tom Hanks said...

Well, now I have fiddle around a bit with all the explanations and recommendations I've got from you guys, and so far so good I guess.
I started with opening Aperture and the external library and Photos and selected them all , then used Relocate Masters to a newly created folder named Aperture Masters.
Then when it was completed I have to switch to the internal library and again used Relocate Masters, after selected all those photos to the same folder as the last one.
Now I had enough space on my internal disk to bring the external library with pointers (as some one called them) back in to my internal disk. But when I tried to Merge the to "pointer libraries" together something went wrong, because Aperture freezed halfway through the progress and I had to force it to close after some hours waiting without any sign of life from Aperture. I tried it again but the same result, it frooze. So I had to try with Add Library instead, and that worked. But suddenly many of the project was doublettes. But after checking them it was clear that of to of the same project folders, just one was a complete and correct one. The other one lacked some of the EXIF-info and some of the photos. And when I checked it up in the folder Aperture Masters there was not two copies of those folders. So I'll guess that fenomena was caused of Aperture freezing during my tries to merge the to libraries toghether.
Now I have some therapy work with going through all the projects to find those which there are to of the same, and then check which one of them to delete, then I'll have everything sorted out I'll guess. And finally end up with all the masters on my external disk and still one complete "pointer library" on my internal disk, and plenty of free space on my internal disk again.
Thank's for the help guys

'Unable to quarantine' when exporting from Aperture to a NAS

I have scanned a lot of images as TIFF (approx 28.000), and they are on an External Drive, and I imported them into Aperture (3.3) as referenced files.
Now I want to have a a more workable environment, because the TIFF's are 140 MB each.
So the idea is:
- Export from Aperture to a NAS drive
- Create a new Aperture Library and import them (again as referenced files)
The NAS is a WD MyBook Live Duo that is attached to my Time Machine.
The current Aperture Library and the future Aperture Library will be on my iMac's HD.
I just exported 405 images and in the log I see 405 times:
1/3/13 9:29:34.000 PM kernel[0]: Aperture[54224] Unable to quarantine `/Volumes//Pictures/Modellen_Ref_Files/Mulder_Koosje/JHWA_9601M-25.jpg': 22 (error suppressed)
(Time and filename differ ofcourse.)
However all 405 images were indeed exported.
I read the thread :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20274081#20274081
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20294802#20294802
from Steffen4712
So before continuing with the rest of the 28.000 images I want to make sure that I will not run into problems.
So can somebody explain to me or point me to a discussion so that I can try and understand what this Quarantine thing is trying to do?
Thanks,
Jan

I managed to find a way to get things done without getting the error.
Workflow from the start:
- scanned negatives and stored them as TIFF files on an external HD
- Started Aperture and imported them as referenced files
- added keywords and adjustments
I tried:
- export them as JPG to a NAS drive
This give the error "Unable to quarantine 22 (error suppressed)"
I tried :
- remove extra attribute from TIFF file on external HD (using xattr -c)
- export them as JPG to a NAS drive
This give the error "Unable to quarantine 22 (error suppressed)"
I tried:
- export them as JPG to my HD
- remove extra attribute from JPG (using xattr -c)
- switch to "new" Aperture Library and import them and choosing the NAS as place to store them
This give the error "Unable to quarantine 22 (error suppressed)"
I tried:
- export them as JPG to my HD
- remove extra attribute from JPG (using xattr -c)
- using Finder and copy them to temporary folder on my NAS
- open "new" Aperture Library and import them and choosing the NAS as place to store them (effectively relocating them)
No errors were seen in the system.log
Conlusion, apparently Aperture wants to quarantine them when moving them to the NAS and Finder does not.

How to reduce size of images in Aperture ?

My situation, lots of pics, most ~5mb in size, most now do not need that high a quality, and in need of reducing disk space usage. Is there an application or a technique within Aperture, that will allow me to select images and then have those images reduced in size, say from 5mb to 2.5mb?
Thanks for any assist.

Well if those images are not important and it is unlikely you would want to do anything other than look at them, then why not grab an external drive and relocate the masters there and leave them at home.
That way you free up space but still have the generated previews in the library to take with you. You can control the quality of the previews in the preferences and then force Aperture to generate the previews again from the masters with the new settings by selecting the photos in question in the browser and holding the option key after bringing up the context menu.
Combined with ratings for example, you could then make low-res, highly compressed previews for the unrated photos, go back and change the preferences and make progressively higher quality previews for the higher rated photos, culminating in full-res, high quality previews for the 5 star photos.
That's the way I'd do it.

Missing photos in both iPhoto and Aperture

I recently upgraded to Aperture 3.1.2 and transferred all my photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. In total I transferred about 15000 photos from my iPhoto library. I noticed some photos were missing in Aperture. After opening iPhoto again, some photos were missing there (although the thumbnail was present). I tried restoring my iPhoto library but that did not restore the photos. I BELIEVE between iPhoto and Aperture I have all my photos but I can't be entirely sure. Does anyone have anyone out there have any ideas of what I can try? I already rebuilt my iPhoto library and that just helped identify what photos I am missing in iPhoto.

This definitely sounds like and iPhoto and/or backup problem.
How was the backup done? If it was with TM (or another incremental backup program) did you check an earlier backup?
If you restored the iPhoto library from backup and the images were still missing I'm afraid there isn't much that you can do.

Aperture 3.3.2: Import: Append and Replace button behind Metadata window

Hello,
when doing an import of some pictures in an already existing project, I saw that the Append and Replace button (for "Metadata" under "Metadata Presets") are almost completey hidden behind the Metadata input window. See:
It is impossible to see if Append or Replace is selected and I also cannot select Append or Replace.
Toggling the Metadata selection to "None" and back to "Keywords and Copyright" doesn't solve the problem.
Do others also have this problem?
Can I see if this problem has already been reported to Apple?
Kind regards,
emeu1

Hi emeu1,
No, for me it is fine.
I'd recommend to quit Aperture, log off and on again, and remove the Aperture Preferences
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
from your User Library, as described in the
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Faulty preference seetings may corrupt the layout of the User Interface.
