Aperture 3.5 can't update the library

I upgraded to Aperture 3.5 and tried to update my library. The library is quite large (80k photos, 34 GB), I started the process yesterday afternoon and after 14 hours it is still saying "Upgrading Library: scanning library". Is this normal? Will Aperture ever upgrade my library or it got stuck? How long should I wait before killing it?

Finally got it to work. Here's a brief description of my experience:
The 3.5 upgrade worked for me w/o problems until I went to open another library. I use multiple libraries and when I attempted to open another one is when I saw the "Upgrading Library: scanning library" message. All but one of my libraries opened and updated w/o issue. At 13.5 GB, the one problem library wasn't the largest one but the scanning message stayed up for 22 hours. Aperture didn't show as "not responding" so I thought it was doing something. A look at Activity Monitor > Energy showed that Aperture listed four sub-items and one of those was "Not Responding" it was 'QTKitServer-(1632) Aperture (Not Responding)."
For what it's worth- I use managed libraries.
--here's what worked for me--
I forced quit Aperture then reopened. A dialog box appeared stating "There was an error opening the database for the library..."
I pressed Quit.
Reopened - holding down the Command and Option keys.
The "Photo Library First Aid" dialog box appeared.
I selected 'Repair Database' and pressed Repair.
I followed the instructions on the following dialog boxes.
Eventually the "Upgrading Library: scanning library" message appeared again for only a few seconds.
The library opened and it seems to be functioning normally.
I hope this helps you if you're still having problems with upgrading your library to v3.5.
My next step would have been to try to open the library with iPhoto.
Not a good experience since I thought all adjustments to the library was lost. I have a backup library but I didn't try to open it.
I've been an Aperture user since v2.0, and this has been the worst "library upgrade" experience.
I'm beginning to have second thoughts about my future with Aperture. It has been a good fit with my workflow but it's times like this when I'm looking closer at other solutions.

Aperture 3.4 can't update library

I updated Aperture on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro (Both 10.8.2) to 3.4. After the update Aperture opens and says it needs to update my Library. While performing the lib update the process stops with the message: WARNING: There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/ApertureLib/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. The only option provided is "Quit" The same thing happened on both computers. I've tried launching with Cmd/Opt to rebuild and/or repair the libraries without any success. The repair/rebuild always crashes the app. When I launch with Opt key and try to create a new library, it fails to create one. I've tried reinstalling Aperture only to end up with the same results. I've done a permission repair and, of course, a reboot. Something is terribly wrong with Aperture 3.4.

John, if you already reinstalled and tried all repair options, we need more clues to what might be wrong in your case. Please post a crash report (the first 60 lines + the crashed thread) and any diagnostic messages relating to Aperture that you can see in the console window.

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

Can I sync my iPod Touch to my Library to update the Library....

Sorry if the title is confusing... I've experienced the dreaded HD failure and regrettably haven't backed up via Time Machine in well over a month... I am missing several Movies, Videos and about 80 songs from my Library that are all in my Touch still...
Is it possible to plug in the Touch and have it update the Library, instead of vice versa... (which is the typical sync)...
Thanks in advance for any input or advice...

anyone...?

Remote can't find the library

Hi everyone,
Have the same problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to versi

Sorry my post has been cut...
So, I have this problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to version 3 (and sup.).
I can enter the code on iTunes, then after telling me I can remote control my iTunes from my iPhone, I cannot connect and allways have the same message "can't find the library".
What I've already done :
completely reinstall my computer
deactivate Windows firewall and Base Filtering Engine, then restart it
deactivate my router firewall
deactivate any filter on my router, then reboot it
delete Remote from my iPhone, reboot it, then reinstall Remote, and reboot again
activate library share on iTunes
activate public folders share on Windows
remove sim card to be sure to use wifi, and only wifi
enter the 4 digits code on iTunes (worked)
still the same message on iPhone : can't find the library
I've seen many posts saying that the computer needs to been wifi connected, and not via Ethernet. Is it true ??? It perfectly worked with older versions of these programs, why would Apple have made a change like this ??
Anyone with an idea?
Thx

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?

How can I restore the library & files that were previously on my Nano?

Here's what happened... I hooked the Nano up to my computer at work to listen to it & charge it, but could not click on any of the music. Somehow I ended up with a prompt to "update the library" with a "yes" or "no" choice. I thought updating the library meant that the files on my Nano would create a list on the work computer's empty library so that I could play the files from my Nano. I did not expect it to transfer any files!!!! There was NO WARNING THAT IT WOULD ERASE INFORMATION!!!!! What then happened was horrible. The empty library on my work computer overwrote my Nano!!!!!! So now I have lost all of my files that I was planning to listen to on my flight to Spain tomorrow. I have been searching desperately to try to restore the files on my Nano, but have not been able to find an answer. I was planning to learn Spanish from the files on my Nano during my flight there! Now the Nano has wasted the money I spent on the Spanish CD's, the Nano and the ridiculously expensive & numerous separate accessories! This incident has really made me hate the Nano (which was given to me as a Christmas present). It has caused me nothing but pain & expense in buying junk for it and now trying to recover files without any good information on the Apple website! Why????? I thought Apple was user friendly before this Nano!

I'm sorry that you didn't read the manuals but that's the way it works:
Copying songs from your iPod to your computer
"The iTunes library on your computer holds all the songs you've encoded from your CD collection or purchased from the iTunes Music Store. With default settings, iTunes automatically copies the songs in your library to your iPod. When you use your iPod as a hard disk, you can't see the songs iTunes copies to your iPod in the Finder or My Computer. This is normal. Using the Finder or My Computer, you can't copy these song files from your iPod back to iTunes or to any other computer. The synchronization between your iPod and your computer is always one way: from iTunes to iPod.
If you've erased the music library on your computer, there's no way to use the Finder or My Computer to copy the songs from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer. One solution is to encode the songs from your CD collection again, then sync your new library with iPod. If you purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store and didn't back them up, there's no way to download them again. You'll have to buy new copies of the songs."

I have the computer with my itunes library on it but no longer have access to the email account the library was set up with. How can I transfer the library to a new appleid/email?

I have the computer that holds my itunes library. However, I no longer have access to the email account (and therefore apple account) it was set up with so can't sync/update etc. How can I transfer the library to my new apple id? Any help gratefully received as searched the internet but can't find the answer!
Have ipod touch 4th gen, ipod touch 5th gen and ipod nano 7th gen all to sync to library.

Hi Stillme,
You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
Apple - My Apple ID
If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.
Cheers,

Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?, Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?

I have more than a 100 apps which I do not use but are there in my iTunes library! My iPhone has only a few (40) updates. As I am not allowed to use office wi-fi to download or update my phone apps, I want to use iTunes on my PC for the same. But I do not want to waste time searching for the apps on my phone and then update it using iTunes. Also, I do not want to update all the apps in my iTunes Library as there are more gthan 100. Can anyone suggest me a method where I can just update the apps that are on my phone using iTunes??
I have the latest iTunes installed.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?

Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?
My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall windows from scratch so I lost most of my music. I had a backup program that died in the middle of it so only half came back. the only place that I have all the songs is on the ipod. if I let it sinc it will loose the half that I do not have.
Any ideas on which direction I should go?

If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

Can't update the latest CC app (April 2015 - Photoshop CC2014 & BridgeCC)

Hi,
I use Macbook with latest OS updated.
I can't update the latest app (April 2015 - Photoshop CC2014 & BridgeCC).
Every time i've tried, the error occurred as you can see images attached.
I've also tried uninstall and reinstall both apps, but same problem persists.
It's few days since these updates show up, but until now I still can't update.
Thanks.

first, sign out and then back in to your cc app and retry updating, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
if that fails, close your cc app and then reopen and retry updating.
if that fails, restart your computer, sign out and then back in and update.
if that fails,
Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.

Update the Library

How do I update the library if I've made changes to the tags outside of iTunes. I don't want to delete the entire library and re-add the music folders.
Does iTunes have a way of doing this automatically, i.e. can it monitor my music folder the way Window Media Player does?
Thanks ~

I have the same question, and I think I can articulate it better:
If song metadata is modified outside of iTunes, the suggestion was to select the song and iTunes will re-read the ID3 tags and update the info in the library.
The question is: how can this be accomplished for all tracks without having to click on each one individually? Shift-selecting all the tracks does not re-read the ID3 tracks for every selected track.

I just purchased a ipad 2 and have not sync it yet. I have an old pc and would like to move the itunes library account to a newer pc that I have. Can I move the library to the ipad and sync ipods to the ipad and/or move the library to the new pc?

But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?
