Aperture database won't open

I had a drive failure today on Mac Pro. The drive had the Aperture library and image files. Using Time Machine I restored the entire drive to a new drive, but now, I get a message "There was an error opening the database for the library "-- new path here" - the only option offered is "Quit."
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried opening using Option and Command keys.

I figured it out. The images were not in the Masters Folder (Package Contents), apparently, this most recent backup by Time Machine was not completed before the disk failed. I went back a few hours and found a Library that had all of the images, and am up and running now. Thanks C5Z for your suggestion.

Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

Also one more thing
On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, Aperture 3 won't open.

I've finally upgraded to snow leopard (hoping the bugs would all be worked out!) Aperture 3 won't open. I did the "fix" found under aperture support. However, the advised, 3.1.1 update for aperture won't open either, saying it I need to install aperture 3 first (it is installed!) help please....

Please see this thread and do follow all the instructions.
Just upgrade to Snow. Now Aperture 3.1 will not start.
I know you have Aperture 3 installed and feel its silly to reinstall it but just try it.

Having installed Aperture iPhoto won't open. When I try it fails with the message "You can't open the iPhoto.app because it may be damaged or incomplete. Any help please?

Having installed Aperture, iPhoto won't open. When I try it fails with the message "You can't open the iPhoto.app because it may be damaged or incomplete. Any help please?

OK, fixed it. Found that iPhoto is now BACK in the App store.
Found iPhoto app in Finder and dragged it to Trash.
Downloaded iPhoto from App store and all now back working again.
Didnt expect to find iPhoto in App store as last time I looked it wasn't available.

HELP!!!! Aperture 1 won't open after I installed Snow Leopard.

Aperture 1.5 won't open after I installed snow leopard. Why is it not working?

Because it's incompatible. You need to upgrade to version 2.1.4 or newer.

Aperture 3 won't open in two user accounts

My new girlfriend and I are both photographers, and share one iMac with Aperture3.
Both of use are Aperture3 power users and the bulk of our time on the iMac is using Aperture.
Recently I decided to make her her own account on my iMac but she couldn't open Aperture if it were open on my account.
I don't recall having this problem with Aperture 2...
is there a way to override this? Most of our fast user switching will be from me working with Aperture in my account to her using Aperture on her account.

The only good way to share an Aperture library between two accounts is to store the library file on a 2nd (non-boot) drive with "Ignore Ownership" turned on. Unless you have a Mac Pro with multiple internal drives, you'll need an external drive (preferably a Firewire drive but USB will also work). To turn on "Ignore Ownership", do a Get Info on the drive and check the box at the bottom of the Get Info window. It needs to be a non-boot drive because you cannot turn on Ignore Ownership on the boot drive.
Even if you do as I suggest, only one account can have the library open at a time.
I've been sharing a library with my wife (separate account) using a 2nd internal drive in my Mac Pro for about a year and it works well. Except when she deletes photos that I would have kept (of her) - but that's a different problem.

If the Combo installer did not work (what is the exact error message?), try to download Lion again from the AppStore, or boot into the Lion Recovery Partition:
      OS X: About OS X Recovery
You can also try, to restore the missing framework from your backup.
You need to restore this folder from the System Library:
     /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager

My aperture library won't open - it's stored on an external R6 pegasus drive?

Have been through the various other threads and followed most of the ideas - repair disk permissions, plist delete, rebuild database.
The application works ok and when it is not trying to access the library stored on the pegasus it works fine - I guess the librray on the pegasus must be corrupted some how but can I get to the unerlying files and re-import?
Help!?

Yes it's Mac OS extended. I've had it working before but since the file size became so large (200GB+) it has started to have problems. I just tried it with another laptop where I installed a new version of aperture and it said that the library rebuild had been interrupted. It restarted the rebuild and now I can get access but I'm worried about the stability going forward and every time I try to move the aperture library (by copying it to another external drive) or update the vault it just hangs.
So I'm not sure whether this is an imac issue, an aperture issue or a problem with the compatibility of the pegasus storage (I suspect the latter)?
Any thoughts on what to do or just cross my fingers and hope it doesn't happen again??

My Aperture Library won't open.

It has been a week of trying to recover my 250gb aperture library. I have followed the support given by apple to the "t". To no avail. I've repaired permissions, repaired database, deleted user preferences, moved the user created presets, deferred preview generation, and even reinstalled aperture on my computer.
Generally, at this point I would just give up, but these are 7 years of photos organized and timed the way i want them to be. I will not give up.
As it seems not the rebuild database seems it would be the best solution but it starts off then just crashes.
Any suggestions on what to do?

my advice...
1) run disk utility (applications/utilities/disk utility), and then click on your external drive from the column on the left and then click "verify disk" on the bottom right of the disk utility window. This will check to see if the external drive has any problems. (If you have a program like drive genuis or tech tools then use that instead of disk utility.) Once your external disk checks out ok, click on your osx volume from the column on the left and then click "repair permissions". After this is done, continue to step 2.
2) Do like the previous poster said and start aperture by holding the option key. When the menu comes up, pick "create new library". Does aperture start ok with the new empty library? if so, from inside aperture, at the top of the menu, click "file, switch to library, other/new" and pick your old aperture library. If it loads, then exit out of aperture and go to step 3. If it locks up, just force quit aperture (click the apple at the top left, then force quit, then pick aperture). Now go to step 3.
3) hold down both the option and the command key. When the menu comes up, pick "repair permissions" after this is done, does aperture start with your library? If so, exit aperture and repeat but this time pick "repair database". It may take awhile. It should load. If it does, does it seem to be working correctly now?

Help, everytime I try to rebuild my library, aperture crashes (was my aperture library won't open)

I have tried to recover my aperture library through all methods specified by apple. Rebuild was my last option. Is this library lost for good? It is with all my masters and organized painstakingly over the last year.
I am running osx v10.6.7 on an intel 17" macbook pro. The library is 250GB on an external 5ooGB Harddrive. Aperture 3 with the latest version.
Any suggestions?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

After installing aperture, iPhoto won't open

After installing Aperture, iPhoto says it needs to be updated to open. When I run the updater, it says everything is up to date. Suggestons? thanks, Kevin

Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your Mac? Then you need to upgrade it from the AppStore, not from the Update menu.

is you redolog file /opt/oracle/database/10.2.0/oradata/betadb/redo01.log' at the same location itself ??

Aperture 3 won't open

I am positive this began after installing the latest security update from Apple, but that doesn't mean it's the cause. I noticed that when I plugged in my iPhone to sync it that Aperture didn't open. Then I click on the dock icon to open Aperture and the icon bounce followed by a dialogue box, opening Aperture 3 library. Then the dialogue box closes and the "dot" under the Aperture icon in the dock disappear. I restarted my macbook pro with no change. Any suggestions?

Check this link and follow the steps listed here.

There is this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1383
I'm not sure what the difference is, but all the 2011 machines have their own updates - must be some incomatibility between their install disks and the regular updates.

After upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1, it no longer will open external links - anything from emails, IMs, databases won't open - how can I fix this?

No links from external programs will open - this is usually kind of ok since I can cut and paste, but some links from databases don't provide copy-able links, meaning I cannot access information via Firefox.

Hi BladedxRayne,
You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!
