IPhoto 9.5 library does not open in Aperture 3.5

I have a huge library (250gb) that I created in iPhoto, and I want to use Aperture to work on it now. Both software versions are up to date, 9.5 and 3.5. The library runs without a problem under iPhoto 9.5.
When I try to open the library in Aperture, however, I get the message, that it was created with a prior version of Aperture and has to get upgraded first. When I try to open the library from within Aperture, this library is greyed out - in stark contrast to a newly created test library.
I tried the following things:
Repair the library in iPhoto
Rebuild the library in iPhoto
Remove the file from library > Show package > Database > DataModelVersion.plist
I quite do not understand what the problem might be. The library is obviously updated to the latest format and should open in Aperture 3.5 as well.
Do you have any other ideas what I could do to open it in Aperture?

Okay, I will post it there. I guess I cannot just move it, so I will double post and this one here might get closed eventually.

  • IPhoto on my MacBookPro does not open - shows a box "Aperture library needs to be upgraded". I do not have Aperture installed and I am not interested to do so.

    On my MacBookPro - After updating iPhoto 11 to version 9.3.1, it does not open and shows a box "Aperture library needs to be upgraded" with choices to update or Quit. If I quit it closes iPhoto - if I try to update it goes to the App Store and requires a purchase of Aperture - I do not want to purchase Aperture.

    If you tried the First Aid Tools without success, make a backup of the iPhoto Library and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Terence Devlin:
    uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Iphoto 9.4.3 does not open after security update. osx 10.7.5 Lion is running

    Last used iphoto  a month ago to upload photos. Today attempted to upload daughter's gymnastic photos and iphoto 9.4.3 will not open. Stops at dialog that says it must be updated to open my library. But I run Lion not Maverick. The new iphoto only runs on Maverick. Only system change I can think of since end january is the security update I did a few days ago. I've checked the iphoto library and it seems intact with 43 gigs of photo etc stored over last 10 years.
    MacApp says new update available 9.5, but it doesn't work with my Lion. I don't want to change anything right now.
    Computer is MacPro G5 2009.

    OK - good luck
    Generally it is better to resolve problems and then upgrade since generally problems have nothing to do with the Application but are data problems which can be made more difficult to resolve by upgrading the software while the problem still exists

  • DNG open in library does not open in develop module

    Something that never happened to me before:
    A DNG image that is in my library already since 2007 , edited, keyworded and in a collection does not open in the Develop module.
    Screen stays black though the preview is visible and the photo in the filmstrip is selected.
    When choosing CTRL-E (Edit in Photoshop) is opens normally in CS5 as a DNG
    In LR when I make a virtual copy the image is visible (of the virtual copy) and I can edit it.
    I tried to export this picture as a catalogue but the problem is still there when I open this catalogue on my Laptop.
    In LR when I try to import the picture there is no problem though develop history lost of course.
    But develop changes are there , I can reset the photo.
    It also opens  as a Raw in PS CS 5 without a hitch.
    It looks like the develop history became corrupted of that one photo , I hope
    Frans

    I sincerely hope I will not stumble upon more pictures like this.
    Because I found this one by accident.
    And I don't see a way to check my whole catalogue for this error.

  • 'Downgrade' iTunes - Library does not open with lower version

    I am working with Vector Works 11.5 which requires Quicktime 6.5.1 (it also works with 7.4.3.1). I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version and Vector Works couldn't deal with it. I had to remove Quicktime and reinstall an older version to comply with my Vector Works.
    The new version of iTunes obviously couldn't work with the older Quicktime and I installed an older iTunes as well.
    My problem now is that I am not able to open iTunes, because the file iTunes Library.itl, which I assume to be the music library can not be read. Is there a way to 'downgrade' the whole setup or to reset the library? I've tried older libraries in the music folder, but that did not solve the problem.
    Thanks for any help,
    jessie

    Rename the current library, open iTunes, and drag the folder containing the old library into the open iTunes window. This will not preserve ratings, playcounts, and other metadata.

  • Iphoto library does not open.

    Hello there!.
    It shows like this when i open it. ( Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable..Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup). I already delete it and download it again but it shows the same problem.
    I am using imac.
    Please help me.
    Regards

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library.

  • AppleScript: Final Cut Pro X library does not open! FCP X AppleScript reference?

    I am trying to automate a few things within Final Cut Pro X. In the Apple Script Editor, in the list of Dictionaries (Library Window), FCP X does show up. But when I click on "Open Dictionary", nothing happens. Any idea why and how I could get around this?
    I would really like to know, which FCP X functions are available from AppleScript. Thus, I don't necessarily need the Dictionary in the AppleScript Editor. Any other list would do as well. But I can not find some.
    I checked whether FCP X is actually supposed to have an AppleScript dictionary by using the script mentioned on this page
    http://books.gigatux.nl/mirror/applescript/0596008503/applescripttmm-chp-12.html
    The answer is yes.

    I am trying to find out the same thing, Till have you found an answer to this? Can you contact me directly please as I'd like you to help me with scripting.

  • I tried to copy my iPhoto library to a second external drive and now the pgm, running on an iBook with 10.5.8 does not open the original library on launching?

    Hi Guys, I copied my iPhoto library to a second external disk. Now my version of iPhoto (5.0.4) does not display the original library on the orignal external drive. I have reinstalled the iPhoto and it seems to make 2 attempts to find the library but fails. The iPhoto menu bar is available but does not function. The screen is blank. Any help appreciated,
    Gethin

    Are you indicating that you don't get this window when you hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto?
    What do you mean by "nothing happens".  What library opens when you launch iPhoto normally?

  • HT2638 since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open.  i have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard but it does not work.  iPhoto still does not open

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
        Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
    Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    and, if there is one, the
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.

  • Photo does not open in Photoshop as before from Iphoto

    I have a large library with approx 9700 pics. In the past, I was able to double click on a photo in Iphoto and it would open Photoshop CS (PS). PS opens but the chosen photo does not open. I have also noticed that all of the albums in Iphoto are not seen in the PS file browser and that the photos are in numbered folders that I did not create.
    thanks for any help.

    Hi jwilman,
    To answer your first question:
    You must have done an Archive and Install and the Scripting folder for PS did not get put back where it belonged. You must find that folder and put it back in the root library. or reinstall PS to get the folder.
    Try this suggestion I copied and pasted from MacFixIt first
    "Photoshop CS: Fix for file opening problem Yesterday we reported that since installing Mac OS X 10.4, Photoshop CS refuses to open any new files or create any new documents, reporting a "program error" when one tries to do so. Our previously reported workaround involved re-installing Photoshop CS, but MacFixIt reader Bryan Schappel now offers a faster solution:
    "This happens because the Archive and Install option does not copy over a necessary folder for Photoshop. The critical folder is called 'ScriptingAdditions' and is stored in the main Library folder. This folder contains one file 'Adobe Unit Types' that makes Photoshop open files that have been double-clicked or dragged to the PS icon in the Dock.
    "Simply move this folder (and file) from the 'Previous System' backup to the Library folder, relaunch Photoshop and all is well again. No need to completely re-install.""
    I copied an pasted instead of putting the link in because it is not on the front page and you would have to search around to find it. Hope it is ok to do that here.
    To answer your second question:
    iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
    It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.

  • Clicking on thumbnail in iPhoto does not open image for editing/viewing.

    Clicking on images in iPhoto 7 does not open large images for editing or viewing. No ? or ! shows, just blank white screen with all buttons active as if the image is ready for editing. iPhoto library is about 50GB. What I've tried: created new library and imported 20 photos, rebuilt library w/keys using last 3 items in list, rebuilt library using iPhoto Library Manager. Quit everything, repaired permissions via Disk Utility. Nothing has worked. Was working fine a few days ago with same camera, same settings, etc. Utterly baffling, would love other suggestions?

  • Mail does not open after IPhoto compose.

    I want to email photos from IPhoto 7.1.3
    I hit the email button, make the appropiate choices, hit the compose button.
    The application prepares the photos for email and then... nothing.
    The mail application (3.2) does not open on a new message page with photos attached.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If resetting the email preferences to Mail try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and try again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
