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.

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

HT4059 Some books shown on my ibooks library will not open. Error message states that they are incorrecrtly formatted.

I have a number of books on my ibooks that will not open. I get an error message that says that they are incorrectly formatted or in an unrecognized format. What is going on?

Beverly:
Try opening the problem library on the HD, if you still have it, by launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, navigate to the external HD and select it. If it opens then you might be able to get it recognized by iPB. If you don't have the one on the external try the one in the Documents folder.
Does iPhoto Buddy create its own plist file in each of the library folders? If so then maybe it the problem. Remove it from the problem library and try relinking it.
I used to use iPB but changed to iPLM (although I like iPB's interface better) as it was compatible with V6 before iPB was.
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.

Since upgrade of aperture, my photos from a year ago are not in library. On time machine, they are there, but I cant transfer them to todays aperture library because it says the old version is not supported. Please help!!

Since the upgrade of Aperture, my photos from a year ago are not showing up. When I go to time machine, they show up in the library, but I cant transfer them to my todays aperture because it says the old program needs to be updated. How do I get my pics from a year ago transferred to todays Aperture? Please help!!!!

You will be restoring the old Aperture library from TM, having it on the Desktop is fine.
Once the restore is finished you will have the old Aperture library in that folder. Now you want to open this library by double clicking it (the library). This will open Aperture on it and Aperture will tell you the library needs to be upgraded. Let Aperture upgrade the library.
Once the Library is upgraded to the latest version of Aperture you can do want you want with it. Once you have gotten to this point if you still need help post back.

Firefox nor firefox-uninstaller will not open although I can see that they are running in "Processes" meaning I can't open it nor uninstall it.

If I try to open firefox or uninstall firefox, nothing happens. I see that they are running in "Processes" but that is all. I can't open it; I can't uninstall it. Any ideas? I've checked my hard drive for errors, no viruses, all other programs perform as designed. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
'''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
'''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.

I can not open files in my jZIP folders, they are either .PHP or html files what program do I use or how do I open them... Doug

Hi I have download files using jZIP and then I can't find a program that will open them... they are .PHP and .html file extensions... what do I do.. Doug

Hello ,
Dear friend ''''' .PHP ''''' files are a server side pages or scripts it needs a server to run on it or to be executed , so you will have to install something like apache server you will find a great application that enables your system to work as a localhost server

but HTML file can easily opened by any browser like Firefox or IE
also if you need to edit the content of their code you will have to obtain a code editor like Notebad++

Sometimes open windows close( from sight), but they are still "open" . how do I get them back "in view"?

sometimes "open" windows dissapear. There is no crash. They are still active, but not viewable. How do I get them back into view?

Do you see lost windows appearing in that list that are not on the Taskbar?<br />
Such things can happen on Windows XP.<br />
That has been reported in the past and I've seen it myself.<br />
You can usually switch to such hidden windows via Alt+Tab.

No bookmarks show in the Library (Show All Bookmarks" but they are listed under Bookmarks on the right side of the screen.

All bookmarks are listed in the Bookmark menu (right side of Firefox 19). When I select "Show All Bookmarks", the library comes up, but there are no folders or bookmakrs in the left pane. Entering anything in the search window turns up nothing.
I already uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, same problem. I also use XMarks to sync my bookmarks, but I've never had a problem with that.

By default the bookmark folders are
*Bookmarks Toolbar - these will show on the bookmarks toolbar when you display it
*Bookmarks Menu
*Unsorted Bookmarks
You may create further subfolders within any of those, and add separators. Bookmarks may be dragged and dropped or coped between folders. The arrowhead alongside the folder name in the sidebar, menu or library allows you to expand the folder to see the content.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home. It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me? It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

As of today, neither sample songs on the music store nor songs already downloaded will play correctly. They are stuttery and slow. I have iTunes 10.5 and have not downloaded any upgrades for anything recently. They were working last night. Thoughts?

I found a solution that worked for me. Here is what I did and where I found it.
"Looks like I tracked down the problem, it worked for me so I hope this works for everyone else experiencing problems. Go to your Task Manager and locate the program APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push)..... if you see this executing terminate the program and then startup iTunes and it should come up fine. You will see afterwards that APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push) starts back up but this is fine as long as iTunes has already started.
I tried playing both music and syncing up my iPhone with no problems. Note if you shutdown iTunes again you will have to terminate the process APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push) again. Haven't had time to see what in the world Apple Push is but this appears to have corrected the problem so that you can at least use iTunes and sync any device that needs to be synced.
Hope that helps everyone!"
