Aperture 3.5 library not comparable with iPhoto 9.5

I have upgraded to Mavericks, i received the updates fot iPhoto and aperture, so now iPhoto is now 9.5 and Aperture is 3.5. i previously shared my aperture library with iPhoto, as i work with both apps. The aperture library had no problems in opening in either app. Now i received the following error message.
To open this Aperture library in iPhoto, it first needs to be upgraded with Aperture 3.3 or later. Quit iPhoto and then open your library in Aperture to upgrade it.
When i first started Aperture after the update, a message appeared requesting to up date the library which i allowed it to do so. However the message keeps showing. i have found that i can open the aperture library in iPhoto, only by selecting the option from the aperture menu.
does any know how i can fix the library issue, as before the updates i could open either app, using the aperture library.

Andrew, thank you for your suggestions. I have tried all you have suggested before writing for help.
ok, to try and unconfuse my question. Before i upgraded to Mavericks, iPhoto and Aperture, I hade mountain lion and the latest updates at that time of Aperture and iPhoto.
My photo library is an Aperture library which i share with both iPhoto and Aperture. This worked very well together, for fault messages.
I upgraded to Mavericks, iPhoto to 9.5 and Aperture to 3.5. Once install was completed, i opened Aperture, a messaged appeared asking to upgrade the library which i did. this took a little while. i then left Aperture to complete all its processing of importing all the details into Aperture this took an hour or 2. once this was completed, i checked my library in Aperture and everything was there.
I closed down Aperture and i opened iPhoto, the following fault message appeared,
To open this Aperture library in iPhoto, it first needs to be upgraded with Aperture 3.3 or later. Quit iPhoto and then open your library in Aperture to upgrade it.
I quite iPhoto and tired to the option of selecting the library from the iPhoto prestart menu. I had the same error message. i tried carrying out an repair with the prestart menu of aperture which only had the same error message come up. i tried using the my back up aperture library and doing the whole process again, the same message appears. i have reloaded the iphoto and aperture updates incase there was some kind of app error. The same error message appears.
However after doing some investigating in aperture i found that there is an option under 'file' to open the library in iPhoto. doing this my aperture then opens iPhoto, aperture quite's and iphoto opens.
after quitting iphoto, and restarting it the same same fault message appears that i have to upgrade my aperture library.
i hope that this clears my fault up a bit. please any suggestions would be most grateful.

The library is not compatible with iPhoto

when i double click my iphoto "The library is not compatible with iPhoto" box pops up and none of my pictures will load and my i photo will not open. Can anyone help? thanks!

1. Go to Pictures > iPhoto Library > (Right Click) Select “Show Package Contents”
2. Select Database and double click on it.
3. Here you will see a list of files and folders you might not be familiar with. Don’t fret. Search for the “DataModelVersion.plist” file.
DataModelVersion.plist > (Right Click) Select Open With > Other…
4. Select “TextEdit.app” as the file editor.

"one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".

I have some folders in iPhoto called 'Recovered Folder'. When I try to delete them I get this message: "one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".
I don't use Aperture (did install it to try it out), and have deleted Aperture App from my Mac.
How can I get rid of these fodlers?

i finally figured this out:
fyi, iphoto and aperture can now share (i.e., access) the same library. apple details it here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
i use both iphoto and aperture, and i suspect something went amiss, at some point, while aperture was accessing my iphoto library.
this is how i fixed the problem:
i launched aperture, then (per the instructions linked above) switched to (i.e., accessed) my iphoto library. i was then able to delete the "recovered folder" and the album it contained. i then quit aperture and relaunched iphoto.
NOTE: at that time, although i expected the "recovered folder" to be gone, it was still present. but this time, i was able to delete the folder from within iphoto without the "contains aperture items" error message.
(Sparky030405, i realize you've since deleted aperture. while i can't say my method is the *only* way to solve this problem, it's the way i was able to solve it. so, you might consider reinstalling aperture in order to delete the folder, then uninstalling aperture, once again.)

Aperture 2.0 Previews not working in iPhoto 08

I am using Aperture 2.0 and iPhoto 08 with all the most recent updates available. I have iPhoto 08 setup to show previews of my Aperture projects. I did this by telling iPhoto not to organize my photos and leave them in the current location. The previews are viewable in IPhoto, but when I edit or change the photos in Aperture, the changes do not reflect in Iphoto until I clink on the actual photo I updated in Aperture. Then I will see them, but when I click back to the main events window the incorrect older preview of the photo shows up. I have re created both my Aperture and iPhoto libraries with new "test" photos and the problem still exists. I tried this same scenario in the Apple Store on a MacBook Pro and the previews update automatically in iPhoto without any intervention from the user. Any ideas why my Aperture/iPhoto isn't working the same way?

Jason
The anomaly there is whatever you witnessed in the Apple Store.
When you import the Preview into iPhoto it makes a thumbnail of it. That's what you see in the Event window.
iPhoto has no way of knowing about changes made to a photo by another application unless those changes are made via iPhoto (as an external editor, for instance). So, it does not read the Aperture database live, it cannot know there have been changes, so it does not update it's thumbnail. Because you're referencing the files in Aperture when you access the file you get the latest version. If you weren't, then you would never know there had been a change in iPhoto.
I guess they thought that folks would only share with the other apps after you finished processing them.

LG VX8300 not compatible with iphoto???

I have not tried importing photos from my LG VX8300 to iphoto before, and iphoto does not seem to recognize the camera portion of the phone. Is this phone not compatible with iphoto (iLife 08)
Thanks
I am using a USB cable to transfer info... not bluetooth and I'm not buying an SD card
Thanks

Do you have a memory card in the phone that you can transfer the photos to? If so, you can get an inexpensive card reader and use it. That's how I get photos from my LG onto my HD.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

Iphone 4 will not sync with iphoto

Iphone four will not sync with iphoto, error message appears. any suggestions?

Currently downloading upgrades from the "Software Updates" so hopefully that will help,
Which updates are these? For iPhoto or for you phone's operating system?
If you plan on upgrading iPhoto it will require a purchase of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com
or
upgrading your MBP to Mavericks and downloading the latest version, 9.5, from the App Store for free.

Aperture 2 Library not Showing in iPhoto

I am trialng Aperture 2. Photos I put in the trial library, do not appear in the Show Aperture Library option in iPhoto. The photos are also not availabe for upload to iPhone through iTunes. I have all the Preview preferences checked including 'share with iLife'
I have rebuilt permissions, I have replaced pref files.....resest Preview info in Aperture several times with restarts in between - cant get it to work at all... I have iLife 08 and itunes 7.6
Anyone any ideas?

OK heres the answer: Aperture was not generating previews despite correct preference settings. To overcome this you control-click on the Library in the left column while holding down the Option key. This will give you a "Generate Previews" option. Selecting this will bring back access not only form iPhoto but for iPods from within iTunes.

IMovie 6.0.3 does not sync with iPhoto 8.1

iMovie 6.0.3 will no longer sync with iPhoto 8.1. I get a message "Open iPhoto 2 or later or Aperture 1.5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto or Aperture library in this list."
This was working fine just days ago.

Hi Doug,
Writing just in case you found out the cause off-forum. Same issue exactly. Thanks!

USB monitor not compatible with iPhoto or Maps?

My AOC USB display will not show photos in iPhoto (other than thumbnails), nor will it show maps in the Maps app. The manufacturer tells me this is something Apple needs to remedy. Does anyone know of a third party solution? I've heard there is some kind of hardware USB graphics adapter but I don't know if that will solve this problem.

Printer not working with iphoto 11

I am new to Macs so take pity on me.
I have googled and chased this problem for 2 days but to no avail.
I have reset the printers but no joy.
Above shot is when I choose one picture to print. Program seems to think that I want to print 1 of 5001. I only have 57 pictures in iPhoto because I am having a hard time with the program and want to start off gradually.
This shot is when I chose customize hoping to somehow get rid of the notion of 1 of 5001. All of the shots at the top are blank and I cannot figure out how to stop this from happening.
I have a Lexmark X4580. All other programs print to it, including photos from Preview. I also downloaded Portraits and Prints and I can print one photo from that program also.
I thought that maybe iPhoto thinks that I have a project with 5001 photos in it even though I have no projects. I deleted projects.db and projectDBversion.plist but that didn't help.
I just cannot find any solutions on google nor in apple forums.
Any ideas?

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 Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: 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.

Is .mac as good with aperture as it claims to be with iPhoto?

HI,
All my photos are in aperture. I now see that the latest .mac integrates with iPhoto really well creating beautiful web galleries. Does Aperture create web galleries just like this, or will I be stuck with the ones created inside aperture.
Also how well does aperture work with iWeb.
Thanks.

In short, no it doesn't. But remember that these products tend to leapfrog over each other, so I'd expect the next version of Aperture to have all the bells and whistles of the new iphoto, plus more.
For iWeb, and all other iLife apps, Aperture's previews can be accessed directly from within the programs, via File>Show Aperture Library or something like that. But you've got to have previews turned on or there's nothing to see. That's why I turn on previews, and at a resolution equal to my larger screen (the cinema 20"), which gives more than enough resolution for iPhoto (for use in galleries et al.), iWeb, iDVD, etc. But it does bother me that I have to import this stuff into iPhoto in order to set up those galleries, thus using more disk space than I'd really like.
So at present, I use both.

Itunes library not loading in iphoto

the library shows, but will not load in iphoto. i've tried deleting the xml file to create a new one, but that didn't work.
i have recently moved my library to an external hard drive. i had no issues before.
any suggestions?

i have been running out of space on my hard drive because of my itunes library. i purchased an external and found a site outlining how to move it and did so. it calls for moving the main folder but not the album artwork or the xml file.
i open iphoto, create a photo slideshow and when i go to choose a song, it shows me the list but gives an error when i choose it. i had no problems previously, so i assume it's because the program cannot find the songs because the files are now on the external drive. i research and several sites say to delete the xml file and create a new playlist in itunes to redirect the files. this did not work and now i'm not sure what to do besides just moving it back to my hard drive and dealing with the space issues some other way.
