Aperture may need "rebuilding" but is stuck in "repair" mode

I'm trying to open an aperture library that is stored on an external hard drive. Initially, I got a message saying something to the effect that repeated forced closures could indicate the library needs repairing, and then I was given three options for addressing the issue. I forget what the first option was, but the second (and default) option was to repair the library, with the third option being to rebuild the library (the suggestion being to choose this if the first two options didn't work). So I selected the default option to repair the library. After an minute or so, another message popped up saying that the library would need "rebuilding". However, there is now a progress bar on the screen which says "repair library: examining library", except that no progress has yet been indicated. However, it doesn't seem possible to quit Aperture, as the "Quit" option is greyed out.
I don't know if I just need to be patient and wait, or to force close Aperture, and then re-open and select "rebuild" when the options appear again.
Any advice?

How large is your library? For a very large library the rebuild can take a full day, and the progress bar is not very reliable. Let it run!
How much free disk space do you have? Rebuilding needs plenty of additional disk space. It might help to free your drive a bit, if you see that the available disk space is getting low.

  • HT201263 My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone

    My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol,  then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same  state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.

    Hello Hester Emily,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process.  I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

    You can not activate it without a SIM. If it is carrier locked, the SIM must be from the carrier it is locked to.
    The SIM does not have to be tied to an active line of service, but it MUST be present.

  • Have Master collection license until may 1st 2014, but software is in Trial mode

    Hello,
    I don't know what happened but I have a Master collection license registered on may 1st, 2013 (als visible in my account on https://www.adobe.com/nl/account/my-products-services.html) and it worked great for a couple of months, the license is for a year so I expect it to work to at least end of april 2014.
    Since a few days the software urges me to license my software or 'continue trial'
    I didn´t alter anything other than installing the automatic updates Adobe urged me to. system here is on windows 7 ultimate and no changes there also.
    Can someone tell me what went wrong and how I can use the last 6 months of my license?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bert, Netherlands
    ps, if this is in the wrong place please direct me to the right place, tia

    BertK61 I would recommend contacting our support team so that we can verify the expiration date on your license.  For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.  Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

    Please help I don't know what to do now.

  • IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode, error message 1611 when trying to restore.

    I bought a 2nd generation ipod touch from someone on CL and it appeared to me that it just needed to be plugged into the computer and be synced with itunes. But its stuck in recovery mode. When I plug it into my computer, itunes says it sees the ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Sout t I click on restore and it tries to restore it, but then it stops in the process and gives me error message 1611. I looked up this error message and it has to do with system security. I messed with my security settings and I still get this message. I tried using my home computer instead of my laptop and it still gave me the same message. Ive also tried holding down the power and home button for several seconds and it still goes back to recovery and gives me the same error message when I try to restore it. Also, itunes recognizes my ipod, but my computer does not.. Can anyone help me? Do I just have to bring the ipod into an apple store and have them figure it out? Thanks in advance!

    Error 1611

  • Iphone 5 stuck in headphone mode

    My iphone 5 purchased on its release got stuck in headphone mode. Though I have never used headphone on my iphone. I have tried keeping in firdge for a min, plug in pplug out headphone jack, reset all settings but no use.
    PLease help me!

    Are you connected to wifi? And do you have an airplay device in your house or where you are at?
    First thing to try is plugging headphones in the jack and then back out to see if that works.
    Check the jack to see if there is anything in the jack that may be causing to be stuck in headphone mode.
    Let me know know if none of these work and maybe we can try other things. Try also turning off the phone and back on too.

  • Trying to update iPod touch - stuck in backup mode

    I have a 2nd gen iPod touch and am trying to update the software, which iTunes is kind enough to remind me to do everytime I connect the iPod to my computer.  I have synched and backed up recently, or so I thought, before being able to download and install the update.  Now when I am trying to do the update it has synched again, but is stuck in backup mode without any signs of progress for the past hour.  It said it would take an hour or more to complete the update, but maybe they should reword it to say it'll take a day or more.
    The last time I tried to do the update and couldn't I finally downloaded an update to iTunes, hoping that would help but no such luck.  What am I doing wrong?

  • 3GS stuck in headset mode (no ringtone & sounds)

    Hi,
    at first: I never jailbreaked my phone and i take a lot of care of my device.
    But today i made two calls and i didn't hear the called persons.
    Then i tried to raise the volume with the volume buttons but it was at full volume showing:
    Volume (headset)
    I never use a headset, but now i know my phone thinks a headset is attached and deactivates the internal speaker.
    I searched for the original iphone headphones and plugged them in and out, but still stuck in headset mode. Rebooted several times and controlled the headphone jack for dirt inside, but problem still persists.
    Now i powered down the 3GS an waited for an hour and after reboot the headset mode is gone and internal speaker is working again immediately.
    My questions:
    - Why did this happen?
    - Is it a known hardware bug? If so, will it happen again, so i should take it better to warranty repair?
    br Pappl

    One cause of this is lint stuck in the headphone jack causing a short. Plugging the headphones in and out merely pushes the lint further down. Next time this happens(hopefully it won't happen again), try cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air first. There is no bug regarding this, and most likely won't happen again.
