Aperture error opening database for library

I was working in Aperture--deleting photos--when it crashed. My Mac Book Pro rebooted but in trying to open Aperture after it rebooted, I got this message:
"There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/rick/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. My only option on the pop-up was to quit.
I found a suggestion here online to find the Aperture library, hold Command-Option and double click the library which supposedly would bring up a repair menu. It didn't. I got the same message as i did on trying to open Aperure quoted above, and again the only option was to quit Now I can't even open Aperture.
Any ideas how to get my library back? Thanks.

Here is the Etresoft report. The only software I can recall recently installing is Dashlane. And I did have the local Apple store recently install new memory (from 4 GB to 8) but other than that I don't recall other changes. I believe Aperture is the most current version. To check, I'll have to log on to the other account because that is now the only way I can get Aperture to open. Should I do that?

There was an error opening database for the library....

my latpop had a kernel panic wihile i was using aperture to impor pictures "that yes i have deleated off the memory card," shut down and restarted. upon restarting i was presented with this error...

there was an error opening database for the library....
what is ....? Is the path to your main Aperture library printed there, or is Aperture trying to open a different location? If it is a different location, launch Aperture on your correct library, by double clicking the library.
If it is indeed trying to open the correct library package, try if repairing and rebuilding the library with the "first aid tools" will help, see this manual page on how to do this:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
If the problem persists, when trying to repair, check if there is a crash report and post the first 60 lines.

Aperture 3.1 "Error opening database for the library"

Hey,
I've just returned from a two week gig, thousands of client photos to go through quickly and get out to them. Did a software update, did the Aperture 3.1 library. It asked me to update my library, I hit ok. Once it was done, I got this error:
My only choice is to quit. Any ideas on how to correct this quickly? Thanks a million!

Alright, so I did this, but when I hold down the option and command keys (both from the dock and from finder), I don't get first aid, but the upgrade window. I deleted my aperture library, and restored it using time machine to when it was used for the previous version, and it worked a couple of times, but now it wants me to update the library AGAIN. The only thing I can do is hold down option to select libraries, but that's kinda useless since there's only one I want.
Any ideas?

I downloaded Aperture and now I'm getting a "There was an error opening the database for Library " and I can't do anything else. How can I fix it so I am once again able to run Aperture?

I Downloaded Aperture from the Apple Website then proceeded to download all my picture's frp, IPhoto. The very next time I opened Aperture an error poped up stating, There was an error opening the database for Library "blank". I can't do anything with the program but hit the cancel buttom which closes the program. How do I fix it?

Is "blank" the name of your Aperture Library? If not, then Aperture is pointing to the wrong Library. Hold down the option (⌥) key while you launch Aperture by clicking it in the Applications Folder. Then select the correct library and press the "choose" button.
If that does not help, try to repair your library:
Locate Aperture library in Finder. Holding down the keys option (⌥) +command (⌘) and double click on Aperture Library to show the First Aid dialogue:
Then try to start Aperture again. If that also should fail, try the other steps in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Good Luck

Tried opening a file in library and it states can't open database with library name? It says Relaunch then will not open? and Blocks me completely from Aperture. I have to go to Finder to Rename it? I need this file how do I get it to open?

Aftershotz,
You're going to have to give a bit more information.
What do you mean by "opening a file in library?" There is no function of Aperture to open files -- you can open (switch) libraries.
You'll have to be more specific about error messages, too. Perhaps some screenshots would be useful to diagnose your problem. "Can't open database with library name" is not enough detail about what Aperture is really telling you.

Cannot download Flash Player 10 due to - Error opening file for writing: Flash10d.ocx

Hello all,
I am having difficulty installing Flash Player 10. I open it up, and only 10% of the download bar finishes before I get the message:
"Error opening file for writing:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx"
I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer, although I'm not 100% sure which version of IE it is and haven't found out how to check. I have McAfee for security, but I have already tried disabling the Firewall with no success.
My computer is new, so there's a chance that it already has Flash Player 10 on it since it belonged to someone else before it came to me, but I don't know how to check that either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Let me clarify:
I have already tried disabling the firewall and running the installer again, but it didn't work.

Error opening editor for file

When I'm opening files via a SFTP connection the file opens; however, I get a somewhat annoying "Error opening editor for file c:\users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\[connection]\[folder]\(SFTP)[file]"
I can't figure out why!
Any ideas?

you should use "<xsl:include href" instead of "<xsl:import href"

Error opening file for writing when installing

I cannot install Flash on my Vista X64. I have tried running
the downloadable install and the online install. Any time I try to
run the install I get "error opening file for writing" when trying
to write C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx.
I have uninstalled Fash first (it never worked anyway) and I
have rebooted. I even tried rebooting in Safe Mode but no matter
what I try, I cannot remove the existing Flash9d.ocx and installing
will not overwrite the existing file.
Even after uninstalling Flash and rebooting to safe mode,
Windows reports that flash9d.ocx is in use. So why is the file in
use after uninstalling?
Any help is appreciated.
Dale

Well, I finally figured out the problem with mine today. Of
course, I'd still like to know what nefarious purpose might be
involved with the Flash activeX file being loaded in memory even
after uninstall and reboot such that it cannot be removed from my
PC even in Safe Mode.
At least I got Flash working. I discovered that Flash was
disabled in IE.
In IE, go to Tools->Options->Programs and then Manage
Add-Ons. In my case, the ShockWave Flash Object was set to
disabled. I changed it to Enabled and I was able to install and use
Flash properly. Now I am just not sure I want to.
With the questionable practices of using the ActiveX control
even after uninstall, and making the file un-removable, along with
the extremely (in my opinion) dishonest practice of installing
Google Toolbar with Flash, I am hoping that Microsoft's Silverlight
puts Flash out of the market - and I'm no huge fan of Microsoft
either. With the new practices from Adobe, they are, in my opinion,
no better than any other spyware and malware purveyor on the market
- right up there with Napster and the dozens of follow-on products
that tricked users into installing unwanted software.

What could be issue ???

Hi,
Error:
GGSCI (ggtarget) 16> start replicat RLOAD
Sending START request to MANAGER ...
ERROR: opening port for MGR MGR (Connection refused).
You can start Manager, but when you try to start Replicat, GGSCI gives me a connection timeout error
Solution:
GoldenGate uses a TCP/IP socket to communicate between local processes. When you issue a START, STOP, SEND, or other command in GGSCI, the command interface will try to open a local port for the process.
Here is how to find out which local ports these processes are listening on. In the dirpcs directory, there will be one file for each running GoldenGate process.
For Manager, the file name will be MGR.pcm.
For Extract, it will be <GROUP_NAME>.pce.
For Replicat, it will be <GROUP_NAME>.pcr.
These are text files that can be viewed by using cat or any equivalent command. For example, the MGR.cpm file content will read like this:
PROGRAM MGR PROCESSID MGR PORT sys1.4356 PID 60070
After the keyword PORT will be the local hostname and the port number that Manager is supposed to be running on. In the preceding example, the hostname is sys1, and the port is 4356.
The program (ggsci) tries to use that hostname to communicate to the process (Extract/Replicat/Manager) when the command is issued in GGSCI. If you get a timeout or connection-refused error on the command, that means GoldenGate could not connect to the local host. Most of the time, you should have no problem connecting to a local host, but when you have the wrong IP address or routine table configured in your TCP/IP settings, connection errors can happen.
To troubleshoot this, follow the steps below
1. Try to ping that host name from the OS shell to see if it goes to the correct IP address (which should be the one for the local system).
2. If the ping is successful, try to telnet to the Manager port on your local host. You will be able to see your telnet session connect if a Manager is listening on that port.
Here is an example:
shell>telnet
telnet> open sys1 4356
Trying 100.100.100.100...
Connected to sys1.oracle.com (100.100.100.100).
Escape character is '^]'.
3. If your telnet session times out or gets a connection-refused error, that means either the hostname is wrong or the port number is wrong.
If the ping to the hostname listed in the pcm/pce/pcr file fails, or if you cannot connect your telnet session to the port listed in the file(s), contact your network engineers to get the TCP/IP issue resolved.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks & Regards

Error opening DSound for capture

how to solve this problem.help me plz.!!i i create a datasource on the rtp enviroment,now i want to send this datasouce to record it and save it on disk.but when i invoke the event of recording and saving,the Error opening DSound for capture will appear,how can i do,plz,hep me!!

I 'm not using remotely, I 'm just connecting to my pc remotely to run my proyect to present my advance to the boss, but doesn`t work. My partner who is doing the recording of video can run his proyect remotely with no problems.We both follow the same code source of JMS. I don´t know maybe in my code above is something wrong or it isn't the righ form of recording. Even I have the same problem with JavaSound, everything works when I run my proyect in my pc, but remotely don't.

Shared VHDX on CSV... Error opening handle for initiator The request is not supported.

Hi. Im having an issue in my lab testing out the shared vhdx functionality of 2012 R2.
The hardware is as follows2x HP DL380G5 with 2xHP P800 Smart Array controllers 2x500GB SATA SSD 2x1TB SATA HDD. Ive used Starwind to create 2 Cluster Shared Volumes on which my shared VHDX files are.
The issue im having is that after the creation of shared vhdx files (3-4 hours) any failover change in the vm configuration will result in Error opening handle for initiator. Initiator: {460b2b45-2f5a-485f-b045-60b68b655895}. Hostname: HYPERV1. File: \SQL QUORUM.VHDX:SHAREDVIRTUALDISK.
Error: The request is not supported..
Ive set the ISCSI sync adapters to "dont allow cluster and client communication" and prevented it being registered in dns (nslookup only shows one ip) yet every shared vhdx has this issue.
Can anyone suggest if this is a hardware issue or software ? It is such a timesaver compared to multipath io and iscsi on the guests id like to get it working.

Ok I figured out how to fix this issue, After searching the code online I found a post about someone trying to use this feature and getting the same error code with the vhds on the iscsi disks of a consumer nas which didn't support kerberos authentication.
Even though I had the cluster setup so the iscsi sync network was set to "do not allow cluster communication" and not used for live migration it was still trying to use this network for the shared vhdx.
The cause was the network binding order which had the iscsi nic above the server one. After putting the 10.0.0.x server adapter on top and rebooting no more messages appeared in the shared vhdx event log section and failover of the guest
clusters worked.
Hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.

Error opening database in aperture

Made a back up of aperture lib using time machine and now the lib will not open with error:
"There was an error opening the database for the library "~/Destop/Aperture Library.aplibrary".
I restored the file and still have the problem. Ran disk util and other checks of the machine and no joy!
Tried command-option without luck. Any other suggestions?

"Made a back up of aperture lib using time machine". What does that mean exactly? Time Machine should not be affecting your library unless you are trying to recover something from a time machine backup. But that is the opposite of what I think you are saying.
One thing to try is create a new fresh library and then try importing from your old library into the new library (File->Import->Library/Project...). If your library is large, this could take a long time.

Error Opening Database

Hi I have just repaired my Aperture 3.1 Database hoping that it would help with some difficulties I have with the software.
Now it is completed when I try to open Aperture I get the message "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/xxxxxx” and it won't let me open the program at all.
Any suggestions? (I don't really want to delete my preferences as it took me so long to get them streamlined!)

Have you give the launch options of Repair or Rebuild a try?
Make a backup of your library, then launch the app with Command and Option keys held down.
Choose a Repair and see if that helps getting past any error. Then rebuild if necessary.

Vault update with AP3 corrupts database for Library

I have upgraded happily to AP3 (great new feature set) and was updating my vault when everything hung...force quit AP3 and reboot. Now when open AP3 I get a message:
There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
With - only the option to QUIT NOW...
I suspect I will have to go to time machine and resurrect everything...whatta pain...seems like AP3 will have a "not soon enough" update fix...
Any suggestions?

I did notice another thread which ultimately suggested others with a similar issue had it solved with an update - https://discussions.apple.com/message/11200923#11200923
I am rinning Lion and Aperture, both fully updated. 2.66ghz Core 2 Duo MBP...
