Aperture wont open and says "repairing library database" even when 100% complete it still wont open

my aperture won't open and says "repairing library database"  even when it gets up to 100% complete it just suts there frozen and won't open to the aperture screen

How many Images?  How much storage space does the Library occupy?  Do you have plenty of free space on your system drive?
Ignore the progress bar — it's often stuck, and therefore unreliable.
Ignore Activity Monitor reporting Aperture "Not Responding".  This is, imho, a bug Apple should have squashed years ago.
Repairing (or doing any operations an entire Library) a large Library can take hours or days.  You did not report what you did to get past 79% — I'm going to guess you Force-quit Aperture.  Force-quitting any database is always a bad idea and should only be done as a last resort.  Each time you force quit, you are likely adding to your problem.
Restart the rebuild, and let it run, unmolested, for at least 40 hours.  IME, at some point the progress bar with jump to 99%, then 100%, and then stay there for perhaps a few more hours, and then it finishes.
I have _never_ had a repair or a rebuild (I have not had to do many rebuilds) _not_ finish.  One took about 82 hours, but it finished.
If your Library is small — say, fewer than 100,000 Images _and_ smaller than 100 GB — and you're seeing these very long rebuild times, you likely have an actual problem — but the only way I know to find out is to let the rebuild continue.  (I don't store any but small video in Aperture, and very few of them, so my numbers may not correspond to Libraries that store videos.)
Did you notice any other problems before Aperture itself recommended rebuilding?
In short: let it run unmolested.

  • Repairing Library Database stuck at 100% complete

    My Library repair has been stalled for almost 24 hours at the "100% complete" stage for over 24 hours.
    In Activity Monitor, however, Aperture is cruising along, bouncing between 350% to 550% CPU%.   Library is Aperture 3.2.4, and I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    My Library is fairly large (2.98 TB on a 4 TB internal HDD), and I'm reluctant to force quit given the amount of time spent on repairing (about 36 hours total).   Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Gordon

    Great!
    So for our statistics:
    "My Library is fairly large (2.98 TB on a 4 TB internal HDD)"
    will need three days - 1 TB per day - congratulations for your patience!

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print but is connected and says that the print job is 100% Complete

    Hi All,
    I'm printing from a MacBook Pro using OSX Lion. It says that Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is connected and that the print jop is 
    100% complete except that nothing comes out of the printer. I've done all of the test prints and they've printed just fine.
    I tired all of the troubleshooting steps listed on the support guide and still nothing. HELP!

    Not a reply but another plea for help.
    There seem to be so many people with wireless problems that a) it seems silly to start a new thread and b) which one to enter my own plea.
    -Printer bought about 2~3 weeks into Sept 2012
    -Installed onto Macbook Pro running Lion (full updated at that time)
    -Both wireless scanning from printer to computer and initiated from computer worked fine.
    -Printer, with full choice of duplex, layout etc, worked fine. (Even left 5star feedback somewhere!)
    -Set up eprint. That OK, too. Fine from iPad2 and SE Arc S printing photos.
    -Somewhere along the line it stopped communicating with my MBP
    -Out of interest, since there seemed to be no problems with an Acer laptop running Vista, I booted the MBP from an external drive on which I'd done a backup of my 10.6 system iMac (>300Km away: can't try that). Installed HP software from disc. Seemed fully functional. Odd. Very odd.
    -Restarting with Lion on MBP, tried again. Looks as if it might work, but loses connectivity. Tried manual address on printer.
    -Booting from 10.6 system again, reinstalled Lion on MBP (wondering if conflict between HP and Apple updates)
    -Reinstalled HP software from disc.
    Still didn't work.
    -Brought Lion up to date. Downloaded most recent dmg file from HP. Looked for updates. Have applied firmware update to printer
    8600 doesn't list my MBP as available computer to scan to
    [But all the test pages done whilst in HP Utility, and others, get sent through]
    Am getting rather fed-up with all this; never, ever before have I had so much printer problem.
    There seem to be a number of Lion users out there with the same problem. So far -but very infrequently tried- other machines/systems seem OK, therefore I am coming to the conclusion that it is an Apple<> HP conflict. If not sorted soon the printer will be returned as it is not fit for purpose. I'll revert to using my seldom problematic, non duplex A3 Brother.
    Hrumph
    Please help, someone! Either with a pointer to something I've not yet tried or by analysis and rapid availablity of updated software.
    Thanks,
    Mike W

    Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
    See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • What does it mean in IPhoto repairing library database?

    I opened iPhoto and it gave me an error regarding my library database.  What does this mean?  It is now "repairing library database".  What is this doing?

    iPhoto is essentially a database index that keeps track of the photos in its library. When something goes wrong with that database index, it can be rebuild to fix errors.
    You can read more about this in this article  iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

  • I updated itunes to version 11.0 and now it will not open and says it is corrupted?

    i updated itunes to version 11.0 and now it will not open and says it is corrupted?
    how do i get it to work it updated fine then asked to restart comp so i did now it will not open

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition.  I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself.  Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

    I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition.  I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself.  Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

    Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

  • Error message repairing library database keeps appearing in iPhoto in iMac

    Why does the error message "repairing library database" keeps appearing?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
