Iphoto library being recognised as aperture library
Updated iPhoto to 9.6. after this library was able to be opened for a while and recently stopped opening. Returned iPhoto to 9.5.1 which now has allowed me to open a blank library which was created perviously but I cannot still open my primary library. Message comes up - see below -
I do not have Aperture on my computer and never have. Have tried opening the First Aid on the library but as it is not opening in iPhoto it will not open the first aid.
I have reverted iPhoto to 9.6. Or is it easier to have both on previous versions.
when you downgrade the MacOS X version as well, you will have to downgrade everything - all applications and all documents. A lot of work, that will lead you into a dead end for future updates. It is much more economic, to try to find out, why iPhoto 9.6 did not work.

Aperture - iphoto link broken after moving Aperture Library
Dear all,
I just moved my Aperture library as I ran out of space. I used the iphoto 11 to Aperture link ... imported some images from Aperture into iphoto. How can I tell iphoto the new location of the Aperture library for the images which are already referened in iphoto?
in iPhoto I get the message "The photo “....jpg” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found. Then it opens a file browser to point to the file ... but that's of not much use if it resides in the Aperture library!
Thanksctheisinger,
Welcome to the user-supported Aperture discussion group.
I used the iphoto 11 to Aperture link ... imported some images from Aperture into iphoto.
There is no such thing as "the iPhoto to Aperture link". You are trying to use Aperture and iPhoto together, and that will not work. You should choose one and use only that one. Aperture knows about iPhoto enough to initialize your Aperture library when you first use it. iPhoto knows enough about Aperture to be dangerous. If you use the "Show Aperture Library" function, you should really only use it to temporarily put Aperture photos into an iPhoto library *for the purpose of some function missing from Aperture*, and there are really very few. The only one that I can think of is to use Apple's printing services for cards and calendars, which is not available in Aperture. I.e., don't use both iPhoto and Aperture for digital management.
How can I tell iphoto the new location of the Aperture library for the images which are already referened in iphoto?
That is really an iPhoto question. Someone here with recent ties to iPhoto may be able to help, but we are all Aperture users first, and some posters were iPhoto users.

When I try to open my Aperture Library, I get this message: "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/alyssabouma/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the library....Help!!lyssalou,
what is your Aperture version and what is your MacOS X version?
What happened, before this problem occurred? Did you import images, install software, move the Aperture library?
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the library....Help!!
What do you mean by reinstalling the library? Did you reinstall Aperture?
You might start the trouble shooting with using the Aperture Library First Aid Tools - repairing the permissions, repairing the library, and rebuilding, if necessary, see:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Before rebuilding the library, make a backup of the Aperture Library, if you do not have one.

I was uploading 655 images from my Nikon D300S to aperture, all was going fine, went to make a coffee and came back to find Aperture had quit and this message was on the screen ––
There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/james/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
–– when I now try to open aperture I always get the same message and it won't open.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Aperture 3.4.5 and OSX 10.8.5Thanks William Lloyd and IeonieDF
First opened First Aid by holding down alt and cmd while double clicking Aperture
Tried Repairing Permissions and repairing Database in First Aid but neither worked –– so then did a 'Rebuild Database' and I'm back in action
Thanks for taking an interest guys -
Trying to open Aperture, but I get the message, "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/davewasson/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. - and it forces me to quit. What do I do?
Dave-
You can try opening the old (problem) library by launching Aperture into Library First Aid mode and choosing to Repair (first option) or Rebuild the library. Before doing this, make a backup copy of the old library, since both Repair or Rebuild will write changes to the library database.
Repair is the faster and less drastic option, so try that first: After backing up your library, hold down both the Option and Command keys while dragging and dropping the problem library on the Aperture icon. The Photo Library First Aid window appears. Select Repair Database, then click Repair. After some time Aperture should open the library, if possible.
If that fails launch Aperture back into Library First Aid and select Rebuild Database. Depending on the size of your library this operation could take some time, up to several hours for a very large library. When the main window appears you may have some extra Recovered folders/projects. This operation rebuilds the library from scratch and is usually successful at reviving problem libraries. -

Tell us more please - what is your Aperture version? What version of MAcOS X?
What happenend directly before the problem occured? Did you update software? Install new software? Import new images?
Did you move your Aperture library? Run a cleaning app for your mac? -
There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/stacia134/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. Why am I getting this message and how do I correct it so that I can open Aperture???? any suggestions would be most appreciated
Then I'd check the system drive, if it has problems.
To check your System drive boot into the Recovery Partition, see: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
You will see a panel, where you can use Disk Utility to check your System Drive. -
I can't seem to open Aperture, don't know how to back up the library (I have pics I just put on Aperture last week that aren't backed up) so I can just rebuild the library. Will I lose all my pics if I choose to rebuild the library?
don't know how to back up the library
Simply drag your Aperture library to an external drive with enough free disk space to make a backup copy for now.
What happened before you first got this error message? Did you import new images into Aperture? Did you install new software? Or update software?
Did you move your aperture library to a new location?
Does the panel with the error message show an error log? What does it say? The first 50 lines will suffice.
Will I lose all my pics if I choose to rebuild the library?
Rebuild is a save standard trouble shooting operations. But it may take a long time, and if your mac has other problems, in interruption of the rebuild may make things worse, so don't do it without copying your library some where safe. -
My external drive accidently unplugged and I got this message: There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/iTunes LaCie/Aperture Library 2.aplibrary”.
Can someone help? My external drive is called "iTunes LaCie"
THANKS!!
I already repaired the disk...Open Aperture while holding down the option and command keys and run Repair Library

When I attempt to open an Aperture backup on a remote drive using the Command key when opening Aperture., I receive the message-
How do access these files?How do I copy the libray onto another drive? Drag & drop? Can I put it onto my iMac drive without loosing the Aperture files already there?
yes, you can drag the library to your internal drive. if it has the same name as your current Aperture library rename it or drag it to a different folder.
I followed the instrucitons when formatting the drive, although I would not rule out an operator error
You can see the name of the file system on the drive, when you select the drive in the Finder and press the key combination ⌘I (for File > Get Info). The file system will show in the "General" brick of the Info panel. -
How do you move images in one aperture library to a new aperture library
how do you move images in one aperture library to a new aperture?
Hello, Patricia,
Do you want to create a new Aperture Library with the images you select or to import them into another existing library?
To create a new library based on selected images use the main Aperture menu:
File -> Export -> Project (Folder, album) as New Library.
To import a part of an Aperture Library into another Library, export the Aperture items as new library, then import that library into the destination library. That way you will ensure, that all versions and metadata are exported.

My computer has switched itself off and I am now unable to open my Aperture library as getting the above message!!
The Crash may have prevented Aperture from closing the Library properly.
Try to repair the library using the "Library First Aid Tools":

FB 4 Premium licence not being recognised by automation library
Hi All,
I've been tasked with setting up a continuous integration platform to build, release and perform automated testing of a Flex 4.1 application. To this end the entire process has been scripted and setup on a Mac OSX server.
When setting up the automated tests I ran into the common issue of needing the FB 4 premium license. This has been purchased and integrated into the scripts successfully. When I run a build locally (Windows 7) and run the tests everything works fine. When running against the QA server the app reports that no license is available. When comparing the two swc files, the Mac version is approximately 1-2kb smaller (every run on either machines has a slightly different file size).
Apart from different OS everything is identical. Same SDK version (4.1.0.16072), same version of ant, same config files, etc. I'm using the ant tasks for mxmlc.
Can any please help me understand what may be different between the two environments that prevent the license from being included in the build?
Many thanks in advance!I have the same problem, that when iTunes is open it does not recognize when a CD is inserted. I don't have an answer but I have a workaround that may be similar to yours.
The problem occurred the first time I tried to import a CD after having updated iTunes on October 12. I think this is the first version to support iCloud (which I don't use). That version did not have a Help Menu. I reinstalled iTunes and now have 10.5.0.142. I did get a Help Menu but still no recognition of CDs.
I can import CDs if I close iTunes and let AutoPlay take over. I have AutoPlay set to "Import songs using iTunes". "Show songs using iTunes" is closer to the setting you want. When the CD is inserted AutoPlay opens iTunes and iTunes sees the CD.

Appear in a wiondow when I try to launch aperture. Never seen it before. Can't get past this to access the program.
I found a 'fix'. Following the troubleshooting basics, I deleted the com.apple.aperture file in ~library/preferences. That allowed me to open the program to a new, blank library. I tried opening the old library from inside the program with no luck. So instead I just imported the old library into the new one. It took a few hours but once it was finished everything was there, all adjustments intact. I had to reauthorize access to my flickr account but once I did that, it synchronized with all my online albums as well.
So it was not the most confidence-inspiring solution in regards to the software but I'm back to normal.
Thanks Frank for the replies.
