Aperture won't upgrade library

Hi, I split my library into a set of libraries based on year.  I have in total around 70,000 photos in 14 libraries.  Its been about a year that I have maintained this format. The last upgrade to Aperture seems to have messed up my libraries.
At this point, I am trying to create one Aperture library with all the photos.
I created a new library and started importing each existing one into it.  However, I am getting an error “The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade…”.  If I open Aperture and try switching to one of these libraries that I cannot open from within Aperture, I get the message, “The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch”.  When I switch it does not offer to upgrade. 
I reinstalled iPhoto and tried switching to one of my libraries and received the message that the library needs to be upgraded first in Aperture.  This upgrade does not occur as I have detailed in this message.
I’ve read Apple’s support pages, I have search the internet and this forum.  Nothing I have done has solved my issue. I’ve rebuilt, repaired the libraries and repaired permissions for example.  The last recourse I have is to relocate my originals.  I’m using that has a last resort. I’m afraid I will lose my versions and other settings in the process.
Any ideas on how to fix this import error?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I had a similar issue as you a while back and it was a permissions issue.  Apple does not recommend placing Aperture libraries on a NAS.  I back mine up to a NAS but I do not use the library from the NAS. Using a Sparse Image format, you can create a virtual HFS+ drive on the NAS and mount that.  Then you can use your Aperture library that way.  I use Sparse Images to backup my data to the NAS. Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner and other tools can create these drives for you. You might find backups and file access will be faster using a disk image vs  using the NAS directly as well.
My external drive which contains the Aperture libraries, is connected via Thunderbolt connection, not a NAS per se...
For external drives, I found going to the Info section for the external drive (right click on drive icon) and near the bottom is a checkbox which states "Ignore Ownership on this Volume"   Check that box and it should resolve the issue like I was experiencing.
I corrected mine by going to each Aperture library and selecting 'Me' as owner.  
One note, when I checked off the "Ignore ownership..." checkbox, now my NAS is syncing the external drive folder 'Pictures' with the NAS.  I have a Synology NAS and setup a shared folder in the cloud between the external drive and my NAS.  This way my backup on the NAS is in sync with the Pictures folder on my external drive.  Prior to this, I used Carbon Copy Cloner on a schedule for backing up my Pictures folder. I still use Carbon Copy Cloner as its a great tool but for this particular case, I chose the Synology cloud.
So, to summarize, I repaired/rebuilt my libraries, repaired disk permissions, modified the ownership flag... 
Another source I used for correcting my issues was at the Photosexpert website.  Its a great source. https://thephotosexpert.com/forum

  • Aperture 3.2 Upgrade Library Message on Startup

    Hello,
    I've ran into a problem with the latest update to Aperture.  Seems like there are other issues with this update, but I haven't found any info on the forums or elsewhere that addresses the problem I am having.
    When I open Aperture, it tells me that my library needs to be updated to 3.2.  I click "OK" and then Aperture opens and there is a status bar that pops up and finishes with a message like "Aperture Library has been updated" and then Aperture opens.  Everything seems fine while I am in Aperture.  However, this scenario happens EVERY time I open Aperture.  No matter how long I keep Aperture open (I've tried overnight), this message continues to pop up when I open the program.
    I am running the latest version of Aperture (3.2.2, I believe).  I have about 11,000 photos (or 120GB).  I've tried reinstalling Aperture.  I have also just tried reformatting the entire computer, reinstalling Aperture and still have the same issue.
    Given that the reinstall of the OS and Aperture didn't fix the issue, I would think the issue could be in the Aperture Library file in my Photo library (all program files are in their default locations).  I've seen the fix where you can hold down Option and Command while opening Aperture, but that doesn't work for me because you can't get past the Upgrade Library message that pops up.  It won't go to the Restore/Repair window that is supposed to open when holding down the Option / Command buttons while opening the app.
    Any suggestions would be very appreciated. 

    Try the following:
    You say that Aperture runs fine, while it has finished upgrading.
    When Aperture is running, create a new Library : File menu -> Switcht to Library -> Other/New
    Then quit Aperture, this should set the Aperture Preferences to open with your new library in future.
    Launch aperture again. This time there should be no upgrade dialogue, since the Library was created by the current version.
    Now you could try to import the old library into the new one.
         File -> import -> Library
    Regards

  • IPhoto '11 (9.3) - Won't upgrade library after update to 9.3 (gets stuck on Step 5)

    Two weeks ago I upgraded iPhoto to 9.3 using the automatic Apple updater.  Thereafter, when I try to re-start iPhoto, iPhoto automatically attempts to upgrade the library using multiple steps.  Each time the process gets stuck on one of the steps, hanging for as long as I'd let it.  Force quit doesn't show the process/application as not responding, but I can kill the applicaiton and try again.
    I see this is a somewhat common occurrence (for example, here), but I haven't yet found a solution that works, at least not for me.
    Since this problem has started occurring, the process tends to get stuck at the end of step 5:
    I have tried multiple solutions, including holding down alt/option or control when starting iPhoto for force a rebuild of the library (same result).  I reinstalled iPhoto from the App store (same result).  I went back to a version of my iPhoto library from before the problem started using a Time Machine backup of the iPhoto Library (same result).  And in response to some threads suggesting removing the files like com.apple.iPhoto.plist (see here) but I can't find any "com.apple.iPhoto.*" files on my HD.  Interestingly (maybe) I don't have a HD -> Users -> Home -> Library directory at all.  I only have a HD -> Library directory (although perhaps this is where it shows up for my primary account when I'm using this account).
    I'd be very grateful for any help/suggestions/guidance.
    For example, is there a log file showing the date that I upgraded to the newest iPhoto release so I can be sure I'm restoring an older iPhoto library?  Any other ideas?
    Many thanks!

    I have try to do few things like rebuild library, intalling old version etc. at the end always i got images and events but I loose folders and albums.
    So finally
    I bought external drive to make a copy of my images
    I found my old backup of MAC OS X before upgrade to Lion and install them
    All folers are existing so now I can imoprt only images from last two months and rearrange them into folders.
    I will stay with version 9.2.3 and wait at least 1-2 month before I will install any new update from Apple.

  • Aperture won't switch to old library

    I go to switch to my Aperture 1.5.6 library and it says that it needs to relaunch. But when it does so, I get a box asking if I want to create a new library which only gives me the option to create a new library or quit the program. I've tried creating a new library then quitting to make sure the library was saved, but it still asks me to create a new one when I relaunch.

    If you really want to try your existing library with Aperture 3 Trial:
    1 open A3
    2 switch to Finder, and drag your existing Aperture Library from the ~/Pictures folder onto the A3 Dock icon
    Aperture 3 will import your entire original library into the new library created when you first launched the trial - projects, folders, albums, and all. Managed files will be copied into the new library, referenced files will stay where they are on your drive. Existing Vault links will not be copied across. Importing your existing library can take quite a while, depending on its size.
    The main difference to note therefore is that Aperture 3 (paid version) will upgrade your existing library in place; the Trial version will import your existing library and leave the old one intact, essentially duplicating it, in case you wish to switch back.

  • I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    How did you "move everything" over?
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded.  I just ran the update and it is still not fixed.  What can I do???

    Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded.  I just ran the update and it is still not fixed.  What can I do???  My plug are asking me to re-register them too.  This is annoying.  Please help!!!!!

    How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
    If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library: 
    reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
    Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
    Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
    What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
    It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

  • Aperture 2.1 upgrade will not recognize my 2.0 library????

    I did the 2.1 update and my previous library has vanished. I can see it in finder but Aperture won't acknowledge it and I can't figure out how to import the old photos into the new version ... This makes no sense to me, I can't even open my old library at all .... !!!!

    I've just had a similar problem, though it is not 2.1 not recognizing 2.0's library. I installed 2.1, worked for a couple of days. Was on the road today, my referenced files at home on external drive, and organizing my library. All was fine. A few hours later, still on the road, I open aperture and my library is blank.
    Like you I was able to find my projects through spotlight, and opening them does nothing. I can re-import them but without the referenced files available (I'm assuming) they are all empty.
    Really weird part: When I was last using aperture successfully I printed a webpage I was simultaneously browsing to a PDF (stick with me on this) and named it "Deep Creek - Spokane.pdf". Guess where I found my missing projects right now? In a folder under Pictures named "Deep Creek - Spokane.pdf". I did not create this folder, nor did I move my aperture projects there.

  • Upgrade Aperture 3.2.4 Library to 3.5.1

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from a MBP 1.83 GHz to a new iMac.
    I am trying to open or import my MBP Aperture Library (3.2.4) in my iMac Library (3.5.1), but Aperture tells me:
    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.
    When I go to File > Switch to Library > Other / New and select the MBP Library, Aperture tells me:
    The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch.
    Choose “Relaunch” to relaunch Aperture with the new library.
    But then nothing happens, and Aperture reopens the current library.
    Problem is that I cannot upgrade from my MBP as I cannot upgrade to the latest version of macos.
    Therefore, I wonder how to proceed.
    Any advice will be welcome!
    Thanks
    Hugo

    Hello, I thought I'd chime in on this too, because I have had a lot of trouble getting this to work as well.
    I followed lots of post around the internet and found nothing worked.
    I did the usual upgrade thing that most people have done, and upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, only I had this exact problem, and I got stuck in the endless loop too. I tried clearing out the user preferences and restarting the computer, only to have it still not work.
    Fortunately for me, when I installed Mavericks, I did it on to a fresh SSD drive, and left my Snow Leopard "Macintosh HD" still bootable.
    I booted in to SL, and I then ran Apeture, 3.2.4. I did a repair of the DB. (hold down OPTION and COMMAND when starting to get the repair message) at the start.
    When it was complete, I restarted the computer back in to Mavericks and then tried loading the Library the same way as before. Eg. File, Switch to Library, Import/Open etc. Still nothing.
    I then just did as the above posts suggested. I found the library, and double clicked it, and it said, Do you wish to upgrade to 3.5.1. YES. It seems to be working so far.
    Thanks. Just thought I'd share, in case any more information for others was key as well.

  • Library won't upgrade

    I uploaded the new verison of iPhoto, all my photos are gone and it everytime I open it says it needs to upgrade library, but I've let run for 12 hours 68GB library.  What can I do to correct?

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails:
    Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

  • Aperture won't import an Aperture library

    I have Aperture updated and installed on my macbook pro and my iMac.  On vacation, I imported the photos to my MBP for review and editing.  I have done this many times in the past.  I can export the Projects or the Folder of my vacation pics to an Aperture library and can put it on the desktop of my iMac.  I cannot get Aperture to import this vacation library to add it to the main library on my iMac.
    On my iMac, I selected "import library" (as I have done in the past) and it starts a process, calculating disk space and merging the libraries.  With about 3/4 of the progress bar filled, it fails and no images are brought over. 
    I can "Switch libraries" on my iMac and can view all of the photos in the vacation library.  The photos are there and the edits are present.  I just can't bring them over to the iMac library successfully.
    Both systems are the most current version of OSX and there are no new updates available for Aperture on either my MBP or my iMac. 
    Anyone know how to get Aperture to import a library in the new version?  It looks like the new update of Aperture has a bug in it.

    This has previously worked.  I used to do this after every vacation...  Shoot the photos, offload to my laptop, edit and delete, export the library, import the library to my iMac, done!
    And that is how it is supposed to work.
    Have you done any trouble shooting? Repaired and rebuild the libraries in question?
    Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
    If not, I'd start with the repair option, if necessary also rebuild the libraries.
    Before rebuilding check, if you have a current backup.
    What versions of MBP and iMac do you have? There has been at least one other thread with the similar problem on a MBP, and I wonder, if the problem only occurs on specific mac models.
    Aperture wont import other aperture library files - no error message?

  • Aperture won't start up (cannot access this library)

    When I try to open Aperture I am getting a message straight away saying:
    *Aperture cannot access this library*
    +To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly.+
    I cannot find a way to do this. I have restored the disk permissions but that hasn't helped.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Chris

    Thanks for the help guys.
    I had already done the Get Info idea with no luck.
    I ran the Consistency Check for a good 24 hours, in which time it never got above 75% and didn't seem to be doing much. Following other forum posts I quit that and ran the 'Rebuild Library' function from the same menu. After an hour or so this seemed to have done the trick and the program had launched. I then did Consistency Check as well to be on the safe side, which it did a lot faster. Everything now seems good.

  • Aperture won't launch on 15" Retina MBP

    I recently moved to a Retina 15" MacbookPro. Installed Aperture (app store), and it worked fine with Lion. Upgraded to ML, and now Aperture won't launch. I read the thread having to do with a conflict with Final Cut Express. That's not me. No FCE (or and Final Cut apps) loaded on this machine.
    I've removed all existing Aperture libraries (to force the creation of a new library on launch).
    I've re-downloaded Aperture from the app store, to make sure I have a nice clean version.
    It won't launch.
    Anyone else out there having this problem?
    I suppose I could try re-installing OSX 10.8, but that seems extreme.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    More info. Some good. Some not so.
    Right-clicked iPhoto library in finder and chose Aperture as app to luanch, and Aperture opened it right up.
    Tried switching to an Aperture library. Crash.
    Repeated launch of iPhoto library.
    Tried creating new Aperture library. Crash.
    Right-clicked an Aperture library and chose Aperture as app to open, and Aperture opened it up (I think I'd tried this prior to posting, without success, but can't be 100% sure of that)
    At any rate, the library I want is now open, so I should just go get some work done, but I'd appreciate any insights into what might be going on.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Aperture Won't Open (tethered shooting error?)

    Aperture won't open, I was shooting tethered and it bogged down on importing images. After waiting a few minutes I forced quit the application. Since then I get this error. I have deleted the file from my Applications and reinstalled from the App store.

    Looking at the crash dump you posted it appears as if one of the apllication libraries got messed up.
    This entry from the dump:
    Dyld Error Message:

    If you have a TM backup of the OS volume you could get the PluginManager file out and just copy that  but probably the easiest and quickest thing to do would be to reinstall Lion.
