Aperture 2 - 3 Library upgrade/import not working

I have a number of old Aperture 2 (2.1.3) libraries that were created onsite that I never imported into my main reference library. This weekend I decided it was finally time to get organized and convert and import these old libraries. When I try to import an old library the previews come in, but there are no masters. I can't do anything like "Export Version" because Aperture throws an error which says: "Versions with unavailable master files cannot be exported. The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again."
If I try to separately open the original Aperture 2 library and convert it (both with and without "Update all photos to use Aperture 3 imaging" checked when trying to convert a library by opening it directly with Aperture 3). The file size is radically reduced. For example a 4.74 GB file, after conversion is 223.3 MB. Aperture seems to be losing the masters. I've read some discussions on here but the suggestions I've found haven't helped. I've encountered this behavior on every Aperture 2 library that I have. Thankfully I backed up most of the libraries before trying this. I may have lost one library but I think I have an offsite backup I can go back to.
I've tried:
Restarting the machine
Restarting Aperture
Deleting Aperture user preferences
Repair permissions / database / rebuild database on the new converted . I don't know how to get Aperture 3 to run these utilities on a pre-converted Aperture 2 file
Tried the conversion process on another machine running Aperture 3
I'm about to try and find my old Aperture 2 CD to install that and then export my projects. I can't believe that it would be this problematic to import / convert an Aperture 2 library to Aperture 3. I've read that others have had success. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thank you very much!

Were your Aperture 2 libraries Managed or Referenced?
Did you try the relocate masters command?

IPhoto Library Upgrader is not working for me.

I am running a Mac Mini 2.5 GHz Core i5. (This is the base model of the current Mac mini as of August 2013.) Running 10.8.4.
I am trying to get iPhoto to run with an old photo library from iPhoto 4. (Yes, really. It's a long story.) I was happy to see that Apple put out iPhoto Library Upgrader, because I was expecting to have a hard time upgrading. But it's not working for me. I downloaded the Upgrader and ran it (several times). However, when I try to start iPhoto from the old library, I still get the "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared."
To save you from asking the obvious questions:
1. I ran the Upgrader, instead of just downloading it.
2. I am sure I selected the old library to be upgraded.
3. The Upgrader runs, tells me it's done, and asks me if I want to launch iPhoto. When I say yes (or when I just launch iPhoto separately), I get the error message again.
4. iPhoto will not let me launch with the command option keys pressed. I still get the error message.
5. I can launch with the option key pressed, but if I select the old library, I get the error message.
6. I can import the old library, but then I lose all my organization of photos.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Nathan

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to open the "upgraded" libraryu again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I have aperture 3.4.4, which does not work with Yosemite. Is there a way to upgrade my Aperture version, or do I have to buy Aperture again?

I have aperture 3.4.4, which does not work with Yosemite. Is there a way to upgrade my Aperture version, or do I have to buy Aperture again?

If you own any version of Aperture 3, you are entitled to a free update. Only it can be tricky, if your version is not associated with your AppleID, because you bought it with a serial number.
Have you checked, if you can see an update at the App Store Updates page? Or an "Accept" button on the Purchases tab of the app Store?
Contact the AppStore Support and request a redeem code, to be able to buy the update for free. You will need to provide a proof op purchase of Aperture.
Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
Apple sent redeem codes for Aperture 3.6 to several users who had bought the version on disks, if they could provide a serial number. See for example this discussion: (The post marked as the solution)
Re: Aperture update not possible after update to Yosemite
It is really unfortunate you missed the window of opportunity with Mavericks MacOS X 10.9.5, when the update was easy.

Aperture Imports Not Working In Yosemite

Running Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite 10.10.3.
I have a large Aperture library and am trying to add to it.
I have recently scanned a large number of images and want to import them into Aperture. They are in folders on my Macbook Pro. When I run "Import" in Aperture just as I have before, I get the original to relocate to the external file where I want them. However, while there is a "jump" in the file listing on the left like something is happening, the photos do not show up in the Aperture projects that I have selected. The originals do move from my SSD drive to an external drive. Just that the images do not show up in my Aperture projects. The unit counts do not show them either. If I go to do the import again and select "do not import duplicates" those images don't show up. so Aperture thinks they were imported. Bot they were not. I tried a search by the image name after the first one of these, but it did not find the image in Aperture.
i can then manually import them from the external drive into Aperture, but it makes a duplicate of the image on the external. So I have to reassociate the image with the original that moved originally and delete the copy that i created in the external.
I importing both jpeg's and tiff's.
Any ideas?

Have you tried to repair your Aperture library?
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the Aperture application in the Applications folder to launch the Aperture Library First aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair database". Repeat with "repair Permissions".
If it still does not suffice, repeat with "Rebuild Library". But make a backup copy of the library before trying to rebuild.

My iPhoto library won't open because "it first needs to be prepared," but running the iPhoto Library Upgrader does not change anything. What gives?

I'll try to be as detailed as I can:
I have a mid-2010 iMac. I backed-up and then wiped my Mountain Lion hard drive so that I could have a clean install of Mavericks. I am now in the process of importing my backed-up files, like iTunes and documents, from my external back-up to my new Mavericks machine. Everything in this process has worked so far. I moved the iPhoto library over from the external back-up to the proper location (Users->Pictures->iPhoto Library). Two hours later when the transfer was complete, rather than having a normol iPhoto Library icon (stack of pictures with a photo of a flower), the library appeared as a folder with a half done progress bar and an "x" close button in the corner.
This library would not open so I deleted it and started the whole thing over. Two hours later, same thing. I then restarted my machine and got a regularl looking iPhoto Library icon, but now when I try to open it I get a prompt that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first nees to be prepared: to prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader avaliable from Apple." I downloaded the iPhoto Library Upgrader from Apple, ran it, and it says that the library has been updated and can now be used. But when I try to open iPhoto, I hit the same problem, iPhoto doesn't open and I instead get a prompt saying that the library needs to be prepared.
One more thing, when I run the iPhoto Library Upgrader, there is a un-progressing progress bar (a sideways barber shop poll) that says the program is building thumbnails, but then Upgrader gives me a prompt that the library has been upgraded (even though the progress bar is still cranking along). PLEASE HELP.

What version of iPhoto were you running prior to Mavericks? First boot into Revovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and repair the disk and disk permissions. Then reboot back into Mavericks.
Two hours later when the transfer was complete, rather than having a normol iPhoto Library icon (stack of pictures with a photo of a flower), the library appeared as a folder with a half done progress bar and an "x" close button in the corner.
There was a problem with copying the older iPhoto library from the backup. Delete the library and drag it once again from the backup drive to the Pictures folder. Run the upgrader again. Is this what you see when your first launch the upgrader?

When I try to export an Aperture slideshow to movies it does not work. Why?

Before I upgraded to Lion and had an Aperture 3 update I could easily export a slideshow as a movie from Aperture and then create a DVD. Now no matter what I do this will not work. Any suggestions?

I visited the Apple store in Belfast and am delighted to say received the following advice which worked.
Make sure Aperture is closed.
Finder then Go then Computer then Macintosh HD then Library then Application Support then Aperture then delete all files ending in .plist.
2.1. Macintosh HD then Library the Quicktime then delete Contents.
Finder then Go then Alt then Library then Application Support then Aperture then deleteall .plist except for metadatasets.plist.
Then start Aperture.

Encore Library installation will not work

I have seen people's posts regarding their issues with downloading the library and content for encore. I am in the same boat, and all of the solutions that people are providing are simply not working. I have practically memorized the download page on adobe. I have upgraded to the CS4, and there are 2 download manager files to download, and within each of those files is 2 other files: an exe and a file ending with 'z'. I have downloaded and extracted every one of these downloads at least 5 times, and I feel like I am wasting my time redownloading something that did not work the first time.
Someone please help me with this, I am a videographer far behind on my schedule and I need this resolved right away. I have read through the FAQ's, and have seen other threads, so reposting or redirecting will only keep me going in circles.
Anyone's help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
-Rick Phillips

OK, let's try this. The files with the "z'" archived files in the 7z format, basically similar to the more familiar ZIP files. These need to be Extracted, including their entire folder structure. At one time, a user needed to download the 7z utility, but I believe that most OS's will now handled the Extraction, with just a Dbl-click on the file in Windows Explorer. If not, the free QuickPAR should handle most of these. This was done, when Premiere/Encore went back to X-platform, as WinZIP would not work on a Mac, but 7z would work on both platforms.
Remember, when prompted, make sure that you Extract the full folder structure. This should be the default. I always Extract to a separate Temp folder, and install from there.
Good luck, and please let us know how it goes.

Aperture 3.4.5 - Keyword Buttons Not Working

I am using Aperutre 3.4.5 and all of a sudden my keyword button panel is not working.
- Select multiple images - not working
- Select single image - not working
- Type in to the "Add Keyword" box - works for single and multiple images
- No keywords (stock or new) work with the buttons
- Metadata > Add keyword - not working
Aperture has really started to go downhill. My Nik FX plugins have all become really buggy and Aperture crashes probably 1 in 4 times I use it.
I am running my library off a Thunderbolt drive but symptoms have been happening since before then.

The irony, I repaired my permissions and library twice and once as prompted by Aperture before I posted. I quit Aperture and looked for my KeywordSets.plist and it was missing. I opened Aperture again and it asked repair the library again so I did and voila, buttons are now working

Mar 5, 2008 5:13:29 PM Connection closed: /172.19.110.12:1062
the server AWI policy defined (Politica_Import_Remove_CCRTV) says to put the newly created workstation into the user container, that's why uses the user to locate the destination container.
What I've been observing is that the process to automatically create the workstation runs before the user writes his login/password (I suppose the process is initiated by the Workstation Manager), so no username is still defined !!!! (as you can see in the log file, in the line under "Version=zfd4", "username=")
Why the Workstation Manager launches the process in the AWI server BEFORE the user logins??????
Some week ago, once the user got logged, without automatically creating the workstation object, if we run "zwsreg", then the workstation was rightly created. That's was our salvation. Unfortunately, now even this method is not working ...
I had the intuition (now discarded) that the error was in the ZDM 6.5SP2 AWI server; so I've installed a new ZDM 7SP1 server, and a new AWI policy. But the results were the same. With a ZDM 6.5sp2 agent in the workstation, or a ZDM 7sp1 agent. It doesnt matter.
So it seems the problem is on the eDir 8.7.3 tree, or maybe on the workstation, but haven't done any important changes in both elements before the problem appeared.
Another thing I've noted is that the login count doesn't get incremented !!!!
I've followed the TID 10056909 "Automatic Workstation Import/Removal Errors and Suggested Remedies", and the TID 10074993 "Unable to import workstations to User's Container"; the version of the ZENPOL32.DLL is 08/09/2005 ... I've re-created several times the AWI policy.
Any idea ????
DATA :
server : NW 6.5 SP6, with ZDM 6.5SP2

I hope someone experienced the same problem and could help us ...

In my library shuffle will not work has anyone heard of this problem?

I am using a toshiba laptop and the shuffle function in my Itunes library does not work. It's the weirdest thing I have other computers and do not have this problem. I have clicked the button and still nothing. This has been a problem for as long as I can remember. I have downloaded all the necessary updates and still it just doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this problem or knows a way to correct this problem. Thanks in advance.

hiya!
just checking. have all the wee check boxes to the left of your music tracks in your main itunes library window been unchecked? that can produce similar symptoms.
to check (or uncheck) all the songs in your library, hold down Ctrl and click on one of the boxes. (a "global" check or uncheck may take a wee while.)

Database Upgrade Agent not working for upgrading Oracle 9i DB to Oracle 10i

Hi All,
Presently I have completed my Oracle 10i installation on Solaris Server but I am facing an issue during the upgrade process of Oracle 9i to 10g. Whenever I try to upgrade the 9i databases to 10g using DBUA(Database Upgrade assistant) I am facing an issue that Data base not running from oracle home or pfile not found. The exact error message says:-
The upgrade assistant failed in bringing up the database XIPCOTS. Oracle Home /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92 obtained from file /var/opt/oracle/oratab was used to connect to the database. Either the database is not running from Oracle Home /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92 or the correct Initialisation parameter file (pfile) was not found. To start the database , Oracle needs the pfile. Provide the full path name of the init file for the database XIPCOTS.
In reality the XIPCOTS database is running fine in Oracle 9i and we can connect it using PL/SQL developer in windows.I have also provided the path of pfile but it is still not accepting the same.
Path of pfile I provided :- /XIP/ofaroot/XIPCOTS/pfile/initXIPCOTS.ora
Any help or suggestions would be greately appreciated.
Our both Oracle 9i and 10g are installed on same Solaris server where solaris version is 9
Installation path for 9i :- /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92
Installation path for 10g :- /opt/apps/home/oracle/product/releases/10201
Oracle 9i version :- 9.2.0.7
Oracle 10g version :- 10.2.01
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Gourav Banerjee

Can you please mention the specific folder name under oracle home where we need to put this pfile because there are two folder dbs and ds I have allready tried putting it inside dbs its not working. And my home path is correct I hope and is set for oracle 9i directories in the .oraenv file do we need to set it for oracle 10g before the DBUA upgrade.
