Aperture 3 Library not opening (permissions)

I purchased Aperture 3. the hard drive that library was on crashed, so i'm using the back up hard drive that contains the back up Aperture library. but aperture says
"Aperture cannot access this library" to use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly.
I went into the "info" and set the library to be read and write for me, and administrator, but still i cannot open the backed up library. what else can i do to set permissions, or to get my pictures open?

WhatsupDoc wrote:
the back up was made by a program synchronize pro X.
I'm not familiar with that program. Did it just copy the Aperture library to the backup disk? Is there some program you need to run to get things out of the backup? Or is it just a copy?
Pretty much if Aperture has R/W access to the library name at the top level you should be able to at least get the library first aid window up.
You mentioned you hadn't run the library first aid before, are you sure you had both the Option and Command keys down at the same time and held until Aperture totally started?
You said you were able to start Aperture and create a new library holding down the Option key. Did you make the new library in the exact same folder as the library you are having trouble with? If so you might want to open the Info window on both Libraries at the same time and compare them line by line just to make sure we're not overlooking something stupid.
it was made on a LCie 2TB hard drive that still has 850GB left. the Aperture library is aboiut 45GB in >size. connection via firewire. i didnt put it on my own computer hard drive because it was so large.
Finally as you have room on the LCie you could try makin a new Folder at the top level and copying the library there and then try to open it.
good luck, post back

  • HT3805 My Aperture 3 just crashed, i.e., it would not open and showed an error message -1712.  I sent the current version to trash and reinstalled from my A3 disk, but after installing again it still says "Aperture can not open -1712."

    My Aperture 3 just crashed...by that I mean it would not open and showed the message: "Aperture 3 cannot open.  -1712."  I have the latest A3 version and had been using it continually for 3 years.  This was the first crash.  And it will not open as often as I tried.
    I am using a 13" Macbook Pro with OSX 10.8.5.
    I tried sending the A3 application to trash, and reinstalling from my A3 disk.  Install message said "installation successful."  But A3 would still not open and gave same message with -1712.
    Any suggestions what I should do or try?
    Thanks

    Perhaps your Aperture library was damaged, when Aperture crashed. What where you doing, right before the crash happened?
    - If you installed new software - programs, plug-ins, preferences panels, check, if they are compatible.
    - If you imported new images, you may have imported corrupted files, that crash Aperture.
    Can Aperture launch correctly, when you try to open a new Aperture library?
    Hold down the options-key, when you launch Aperture and select to create a new library. Import a few images. Does that work?
    If Aperture will launch on a new Library, try to repair your current library. Hold down the key-combination option-command ⌥⌘  firmly while double-clicking the Aperture library to open in First Aid Mode. Hold the keys down, until the panel appears, and then try  the First Aid Options in turn.
    I have the latest A3 version
    Is it Aperture 3.4.5? The latest Aperture 3.5.1 will not work with Mt. Lion.

  • Aperture will not open-  HELP!!!

    Can anyone help me?  Aperture will not open and I'm worried that I will loose over 35000 photos.  When I try to open Aperture this is the message I get:
    There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/philcammarata/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed?
    Looking forward to hearing from someone.
    Phil

    OK good, version 2 on Mountain Lion would be dicey.
    Do you have backups of the library? If you don;t now would be a good time to make one.
    The first step is to run the Aperture library first aid procedures. Hold down the option (alt) and command keys while starting Aperture. This will open the first aid window. Now select and run Library Repair.
    Once it is done post back the results.
    Good luck

  • Fcpx editing error, library not open

    Fcpx editing error, library not open，The backup file is not open。

    I suggest downloading Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager and using it to delete your preferences.
    If that doesn't solve the crashes, create a test library by holding down the option key when you launch FCP X and see whether it is possible to work normally in that library.

  • The library "Aperture Library" is open in (null)

    When I try and load Aperture I get the msg to repair the database. When I try to do this I get the message "The library "Aperture Library" is open in (null). To open this library in Aperture you must quit (null). I have tried the advice given in another support community question to find a file "lockfile.pid" and delete it. I have searched and can find no such file on my computer. Need help desperately as there as my recent photos haven't been backed up yet.

    Did Aperture crash somehow?
    What I think happened is that as of Aperture 3.3, you can share libraries between Aperture and iPhoto.  But, because you cannot have the library open in two applications at the same time, there is a "lock file" which is saved to disk when one of the applications has the library open.  Normally when you quit Aperture (or iPhoto), it will delete the lock file, and so you won't see this message.
    If the library is open in Aperture or iPhoto and one of them crashes, the lock file persists and you can see something like this.  If you had issues during migration and force quit Aperture, it's possible this is what's going on.  And then in general removing the lock file resolves the issue.
    I haven't done enough digging in the Aperture library to know exactly where it stores this lock file, but I'm certain it does so.

  • HT1338 Aperture will not open after update? What do I do?

    Aperture will not open after I updated. What do I do?

    Mgoss, quit the installer or App Store/Software Update (depending on what you're using to update) and restart your machine. With Aperture closed, drag the Aperture application to the trash, then reinstall Aperture from your original media and, if necessary, update again.

  • Aperture will not open on 13" Macbook pro

    Aperture will not open my 13" MacBook Pro running Lion after I have updated the software.  I tried a restart and still no luck.  Wondering what my other options are.  Thank you

    You're most welcome.

  • Aperture will not open library - permissions not correct -- but they are

    How do I get Aperture to open a library when I get an error message saying the permissions are not correct, but the permissions are correct, and other libraries open fine?
    I was using Aperture current version with a library on an external drive connected via airport extreme. I imported about 15 images to an existing project in that library and was editing the images when Aperture closed suddenly. When I try to reopen the same library I get an error message that says Aperture does not have access to that library because the permissions are not correct. But the permissions are set to everyone read write. Aperture opens other libraries on the same drive with the same permission setting.
    1. I ran disk utility repair permissions -- it says it fixed permissions on my laptop internal drive, but disk utility does not recognize the external drive so apparently it did nothing on that drive. Same error message on that library.
    2. I deleted user name >> Library >> Preferences >> com.apple.Aperture.plist and tried opening the library again. Same error message.
    3. I tried rebuilding the library using control command Aperture. Same error message.
    4. I used "show package contents" on that library and moved the project I had been working on when Aperture crashed to another drive and created a new library and imported the project successfully. Works.
    I read through existing topics and found suggestions like 1-4 but none work for me.
    I would be grateful for any help!
    Thanks.

    Please tell me you aren't trying to do this wirelessly!?!
    If you're wired to the Airport Extreme, that's better, but forget about running a remote Aperture library on a wireless connection! Even wireless 802.11n isn't fast enough, though I'm sure someone will argue that.
    Still, the Airport Extreme only has a USB interface, which is painfully slow! Firewire 800 is supported on all the new MacBook Pros and on the 17" "gen1" MacBook Pros. I'd highly recommend a FireWire 800 external hard drive or even a eSATA interface if you're running Aperture libraries remotely!!
    Depending on your total storage needs, just replace your internal MacBook Pro's hard drive. I've replaced a few in the past couple of weeks in some MacBook Pros to the 320GB WD Scorpio drive. Also buy a cheap (~$20) external USB enclosure for your old hard drive to repurpose your old internal drive and aid the restoration of your data. Next install the drives and use Migration Assistant to restore your data to precisely where you were before the hard drive upgrade. Pretty easy except for the actual install of the hard drive in the MacBook Pro, which can be tricky and requires special Torx tools; certainly more complicated than the standard MacBooks. Unless you know what you are doing here, pay someone skilled to do this for you.
    Seriously, I'm sure part of your problem is the lousy transfer speeds for Aperture trying to read data, causing data corruption, especially when you force quit so often.

  • Aperture will not open library at launch

    When I launch Aperture, it freezes at the splash screen. Not totally frozen, as I can see and click menu items but nothing happens when I do. Must force quite app. My library file exists with more than 20,000 images. Was working fine until I tried to create a vault. Upon next re-launch, library will not open. Tried opening backup copy of library on different external firewire drive, same problem. Cannot see any vault files on any drives. Tried rebuilding library at launch...library rebuilds but splash screen stays open after and library never loads.
    This post offers a clue that this has something to do with invisible vault files:
    http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1017&message=29797003
    Any advice?

    Mmm, I'm also in a similar predicament to you David.
    I had just updated an A6 Flyer in Pages '08 and had dragged it directly into a published MobileMe Gallery when the Aperture screen went white. I waited for upto a min. but then used the Force Quit command.
    Ever since then, I cannot appear to Launch Aperture?
    I'd love to know what the usual 'safe' workarounds are for this scenario. Anyone ?
    Cheers

    Help please. 

    I'm re-installing from a cd.  I have upgraded since Aperture 1.0!!  When I use the install from Aperture 3.0, it won't open my library (because it has been updated to a newer version of Aperture).  So, I tried to open Aperture with the sample library on the disc.  No go.  States I don't have permissions. 
    I updated the re-installed version of Aperture 3.0 to the current 3.2.3.  I still CANNOT open Aperture.  I seem to be getting the same error message. 
    I have fixed permissions and all.  My Mac is up to date.  I don't know what else to do. 
    I have a MacBook Air and Aperture works great on it.  Problem is my huge library is difficult to transfer or duplicate since it is so large.  I think I will just take out my hard drive from my Mac Pro and put it in a desktop enclosure. 
    I can't even open Aperture from my Vault.

  • Aperture Will Not Open - Aperture Troubleshooting Basics Guide Does Not Hel

    I cannot get Aperture to open and I have gone through all of the steps listed in "Aperture: Troubleshooting Basics". I have tried all of the suggestions including deinsatalling and reinstalling Aperture. Nothing works.
    When I click to open the program from the dock I receive the following error msg..."Library Information directory path contains a file where a floder was expected. The Aperture Library could not be created at '/users/perdjr/pictures/aperturelibrary.aplibrary/aperture.aplib'
    If anyone knows how to fix this I would be grateful.
    thx

    So your username is perdjr?
    Do you have any odd permissions set there?

  • Aperture will not open -- at all!

    Aperture has suddenly stopped opening. I mean completely.
    The OPTION and OPTION/COMMAND attempts result in the same non-opening as just clicking the icon.
    I have more than 20,000 photos, but have not had any problems in the six months or so that I have been using it.
    I bought through the App Store, and updraded through the App Store when this problem started last weekend, with no change in the error message.
    System software is also up-to-date.
    (This may or may not be related to deleting an unused 'User'. It was completely empty and all my Aperture files and picture folders are still right where they should be, but chronologically I must admit a possible connection.)
    Any help would be appreciated a lot!

    I have to admit to being more than a little impressed with your troubleshooting and solution. Thank you.
    My 'Versions' folder had a single file called 'Current'. I restored the entire 'Versions' folder from my Time Machine that included a 'Version A' and a 'Version B' and Aperture opened right up, immediately updating and converting everything to the latest version. Should I delete the A?
    The only thing that seems to not be working now is PhotoStream. I have it on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook working fine, so it may just need a little time to kick in.
    Sorry I missed that earlier thread with the same problem; I did look, just not hard enough, I guess. Strange they should both show up the same day. And... I did not install any new software at all between the last time everything worked and this problem. Like I posted, deleting an unused USER was the only change to the system that I was aware of partaking in.
    And as for the differences in my OS, I have manually updated those items on my profile. I assumed they updated automatically, but if they are supposed to, they didn't.
    Things seem to be right-side up now, so off to the Apple site to cancel my Genius bar appointment for tomorrow. Thank you very, very much!

  • Photo library not opening in iPhoto any longer

    Hello,
    I was in my iPhoto software today importing new photos but all of the sudden my iPhoto said that it could not access my library any longer. So I tried to repair the permissions but it did not work at all. I can see my library is like 220 GB big so there is definitely something in it but it will just not open itself.
    Please help if you have any idea as I do not have these pictures anywhere else and I would hate to loose like 65,000 pics because of this. I had a similar issue with iTunes and it took me like 3 days to fix as I had to recreate all my playlists and reimport each song in each playlists. Such a hassle. I sure hope this will not happen to me.
    Thanks in advance.

    what version of iPhoto?
    as to losing photos - do you have a backup ? If you do then you are safe - if you do not then you are 100% guaranteed to lose your photos and everything else sooner or later - things fail and with no backup you lose things when failures occur
    what changed just before this occurred? Why can't you access your library? What does happen? What messages do you get?

  • IDVD 09 and Aperture 3 not open

    When I try to open idvd or Aperture 3 with X 10.6
    I get the error message: iDVD cannot be opened because of a problem, check with the developer to make sure IDVD works with this version of Mac OS X. Be sure to install any available updates to the application and Mac OS X. It is a brand new computer,, I just got it, I would think that the applications would work. I get the same message with iMovie. I also used the software disc to reinstall and that did not work either. I went to the library preference, nothing mentioned about these applications. I dont want to reinstall the operating system.
    Any suggestions appreciate

    There are actually a couple reasons to have both. If you have a multiuser system - either with one computer or a home network - sharing an iPhoto library is very easy to set up and nearly bug free, whereas sharing an Aperture library is quite risky. If you have created any books, calendars or cards in iPhoto, those do not get imported or converted when you migrate your photos to Aperture. So you should not delete photos in those creations unless you want to delete the creations. In addition the latest version of Aperture does not create these things so you may want to keep the iPhoto program around with an empty library as you can access your Aperture library in iPhoto via the iLife browser. Personally, I use both. I take all of my top photos every month and export a folder of fairly large JPGs which I then import into iPhoto. Then every one in the family can use the iPhoto tools for making desktops, screen savers and whatever else they want. The originals are well protected from all the other users.

  • HT200156 Aperture does not open

    Aperture is giving me the following error when it try to open:
    Dyld Error Message:
      Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
      Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
      Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
              /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
    Any idea on how to fix it?

    I was just noticing this issue with A2.0.1
    Selecting multiple files in A2, only one would open in Photoshop.
    I have found that, if when opening files from Aperture, the color setting profile in PS is different than the color tag in the image, such as sRGB vs aRGB, the mismatch warning appears and stops subsequent photos opening.
    If the image profile matches the color settings in PS, then all selected photos open from Aperture to PS.
