How do I delete projects in Aperture?

Aperture has created thousands of projects with cryptic 4 number/letter names. When I try to delete one of these empty projects, it takes a long time. When I try to delete several of these projects, Aperture goes into a spinning wheel hang, and I have to Force Quit it to start from scratch. Is this a sign of a corrupt catalog or is there something I did incorrectly when I imported my iPhoto catalog into Aperture?
Thanks for any help or ideas about how to correct this problem.

I have had the same issue as of today - 10.6.8 update and permission rebuild.  Running all latest versions of OSX and Aperture.  Just happened today after software update, Java, System, Security, Epson Printers etc...
Never evr have had a single problem before with Aperture or OSX for over 20 years of Mac use.
Went from roughly 35-40 projects 3,000 pictures to over 13,000 projects including almost everything from my Library folder on the computer... fonts, languages, quicken applications, etc.
Any ideas on how to correct this?

  • In Premiere Elements 11 how do I delete projects & associated files & folders?

    How do I delete projects & associated files & folders once I've finished with the project in Premiere Elements 11. There is information available for Premiere Elements 7 but not for 11

    For PrE 7 (I think that it is still in print), Amazon has Steve's Muvipix Guide to Premiere Elements: http://astore.amazon.com/chuckengelsco-20/detail/0615248993/104-3709942-5611121
    If you are planning on moving to PrE 11, he has written the definitive guide to that version: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1479311200/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=chuckengelsco-20&camp=145 73&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=1479311200&adid=0N87W21KS3SSK1YA3MZW&&ref-ref URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.muvipix.com%2FFORMgallery1.php
    For one Project folder scheme, see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3998053#3998053 Note: this is how I set up my Projects, but can be used as a guide.

  • How do I move projects from aperture to create space and keep images on external hard drive

    How do I move projects from my iMac aperture 3 to an external hard disk so I keep all originals and create space on my iMac

    Do you want to move your complete Aperture library to an external volume or only selected projects?
    Get yourself an external drive that is formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled) and connect it to a fast port, Thunderbolt, USB 3, for example.
    As a precaution repair your Aperture library using the Aperture Library First Aid Tools (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual) and make a current backup, before you proceed.
    To move all projects to that drive simply drag your Aperture library to the external drive. Then click it in the Finder to launch Aperture on the new library and test it thoroughly, before you delete the old library.
    To move selected projects to the new drive, select the projects in Aperture and use the command "FIle > Relocate originals" and select a folder on the external drive as the destination in the File Chooser. See: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images

  • How to avoid deleted projects being deployed when server starts

    Hi All,
    I have created some project in RAD 7 for some testing purpose with WAS 6.1.
    Now problem is I was not aware of the fact that WAS 6.1 does not work with local workspace and it shares all the workspaces. So after sometime I deleted those workspaces from Windows file system and not by opening workspace from RAD 7.
    Now whenever I create new workspace and start the server...those old workpaces haunts me by giving all exceptions about "not able to find deployment.xml file" for those EAR files.
    Does any one know how to remove those deleted projects, so that server does not try to deploy them.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If the requirement is to identify when the project / WBS was deleted, then alternate oprion is to pass the WBS OBJNR to JCDS. JCDS will give you the status updates happened on a project and also when and who made the changes.

  • How to delete projects from Vault

    Ok, here is the issue.
    I work remotely on a laptop and my main library and vault are on my home computer.
    I only keep the last couple of projects on the laptop and use the vault to backup those projects. I used managed files.
    When I get home from the road, I export/import the projects to the home machine and master library to do further work and use vault on an external for backup.
    So, on the laptop, I will delete projects to make more space on the hdd and I dont need them on the laptop any longer (they are already in the master library and vault at home).
    However, the problem is that when I delete those projects and then update the vault, it does not seem to delete those projects in the vault. So the vault just keeps growing in size until it fills up and I cant seem to delete those projects from the vault. Again, both the laptop library and the laptop vault are simply for backup while on the road so I'd like to have the vault on the portable be able to stay synced with the library on the laptop. When I delete a project, it does the same in the vault to keep the external space consistent as well.
    Is there any way to do this? Shouldnt the vault basically just back up the library and when something is deleted from the library it should be deleted from the vault as well?
    As it is, I need to delete the entire vault when it fills the external and create a whole new one after deleting the projects from the library.
    Is there an easier way?

    I have not contacted AppleCare, but will if this is how its working for others.
    Have you tried this and are sure it is working that way? After all, last week after deleting three projects from the laptop and main library and then updating the vault, I had a vault that was over 80 gigs in size while the library was now less than 20 gigs in size.
    After deleting the vault and starting a new one, the new vault was approximately the same size as the library, actually slightly smaller like it is with the master vaults at home with the main library.
    I have twice now had my external fill up with the vault while I had been constantly deleting old projects on the laptop. So it just seemed to keep adding new stuff to the vault, but not get rid of the old that I was deleting.

  • I have an extensive aperture library on my computer's hard drive and I want to break it up into separate smaller libraries on external hard drives.  How do I take projects from one library and add them to another one?

    I have an extensive aperture library on my computer's hard drive and I want to break it up into separate smaller libraries on external hard drives.  How do I take projects from one library and add them to another one?

    Coastal,
    Frank gave you the exact answer to your question. 
    However, I would like to ask if you are indeed asking the right question.  Do you really want different libraries?  The implications are that you have to "switch" libraries to see what's in the others, and so that your searches don't work across all of your pictures?  If so, then you asked the right question.  If not, you may be more interested in relocating your masters to multiple hard drives so your library gets smaller, instead of breaking up the library.

  • How do I delete a project?

    How do I delete an entire movie project?
    I went through Finder and deleted everything bearing words related to my movie, including the title. I checked in Documents, all movies, iPhoto, Last Week and everything I could think of, and yes, indeed, everything related to my movie is gone. But I open up FCE and there it is! Sitting there like a side dish I didn't order.
    I guess I was hoping to find a list of my movies by title somewhere, I would select and delete and it would be gone to that big cinema in the sky, but no luck.
    I would appreciate some advice. Thanks.
    I could find nothing on the Forum.

    When you start a new project, and capture or import footage and render you'll end up with the following types of files:
    Project file
    Media files (captured or imported)
    Audio Render files
    Render files
    Waveform Cache files
    Autosave files
    The project file is what you work in (the interface) and is saved wherever you told FCE to save it when you first created it. All other files are wherever you assigned them to be in FCE's preferences.

  • How to find the size (in Mb) of a project in Aperture 3?

    I do not know a quick way to find the size of the originals e versions in a project in Aperture 3.  Would any one know how to do this?
    Tks
    Pedro

    Take a look in the "More Like This" section in the right-hand column for discussions about this.
    The answer is: you can't.  Aperture is not so simply structured that you can select a group of Images and "weigh" them.
    If needed, your easiest solution is to export the Images as a new Library and include the Originals.  The size of that Library is more than but close to the size of the Originals and the Versions.

  • How do I delete a project in premiere elements

    how do I delete a project in premiere elements

    Welcome to the forum.
    This will depend on how you set up the Project, when you began.
    I create a unique folder/sub-folder, for each Project, and everything is in that hierarchy, the Scratch Disks, Copies of all Assets, etc.. When done, I just Delete the Project's folder, and all sub-folders go with it.
    One consideration is if there is a chance that you will ever need to revisit that Project, you might use the Project Archiver first, to get a copy of the entire Project onto, say an external HDD - just in case.
    How did you set up the Project's folders/sub-folders?
    This ARTICLE will give you one workflow.
    Good luck,

  • How do "delete" the deleted project rows from the database

    My database has grown large due to "perf" testing and needs trimmed down. I have been deleting projects from the P6 Professional which marks the projects and associated data as "deleted" but does not actually delete them.
    How does one go about forcing the deletes from these tables. I think the DAMON or someother process "deletes" them but running DAMON does not help.
    How do I force these deletes so that I can test the performance with reasonable number of projects..

    You don't.
    You can restore from backup.  Everything from the time of the backup will be restored to the iphone.  Anything after that will be erased, however.

  • How to auto split existing projects in Aperture 3?

    Hi, I would like to batch split my existing projects in aperture 3 (latest version) so they're all split with one date of pictures in them, and I would also really like to name all of them by the date that the pictures were taken. Like for example, I have an album that's named "Album 1" and it has dates from July 24th-August 17, and I would like to have an individual album or project for every date, and also for the new split albums to be named by the date of the photos inside of it. How do I do this? Thank you!

    Hi,
       Sorry, I can't help you there - I suspect it may be an Applescript job, but don't know Applescript myself.
    Thinking about it some more, you could do it sort-of manually by first creating a new Project then searching all Projects for images falling within a set date range. You then select all the images returned by that search and drag them to your new Project.  Rename the Project accordingly, and rinse, lather, repeat. 
    This approach will be viable only if you have a limited number of images across not too big a date range.  Trying this on a big collection will do your head in.
    I understand what you want to do now, but still don't understand why.
