MobileMe Galleries disappeared from Aperture Library after rebuild

I received the warning that I needed to check my library for consistency by pressing command-option and launching aperture. The consistency check always hung up so I tried rebuild. The rebuild seemed fine but when all was done my mobileme galleries were gone. They still could be found when I launched Aperture preferences and looked at the list of galleries.
I could restore from my vault but I was looking for something easier. Any thoughts or advice?
thanks!
David

Upon further investigation of this new 'feature' I came upon the following.
In my above example, let's say I have my Library A open.
I can see the MobileMe albums of the other libraries (B and C) that do not belong in A.
I just clicked on a MM Album of library B and it is now synchronising the contents of this Album with my Library.
So now I have photo's of MM Albums B and C showing up INSIDE MY LIBRARY A
Good grief APPLE !
It get's even worse. The synced photo's manifest themselves inside smart folders, ilife media browser and iphone/ipad syncs !!!
I'm having genuine problems with some aspects of Aperture since version 3.0, there is an open bug in bugreporter that seems to be unsolvable, and after 8 months of bugfixing (february 3.0.1 to November 3.1) this is what they come up with ???
The worst part is that it seems this new 'feature' was intentional :

Mobileme Album List disappearing from Aperture Library

My MobileMe Album list disappeared from my Aperture Library a few days ago.
Aperture activity window shows "MobileMe - Retrieving Album List" every time I start up Aperture, and quits without error messages, but no album list appears.
Anyone know how I can get my MobileMe album list back?
Thank you.

Messages disappeared from my Inbox after Rebuilding

Hi,
I accidentally clicked on "Rebuild" in Mail and messages of the last 3 months have disappeared from my Inbox. However, they are still there in the Mail folder on the hard disk. How do I make them reappear in my Inbox?? Help!!

I had the same problem, after rebuilding, the Inbox was empty. I tried all the fixes I found here and on the forum numerous times with no luck. I was able to recover most email using a Time Machine restore, but the Inbox still was not accepting any new mail. Finally, realizing that my MobileMe mail server was fine, and that Mail continued to work on my iPod, I opened my Mail preferences and deleted my MobileMe account from the machine, and then added it back, configured exactly as it was before. Bingo! Everything is back to normal.

After iPhoto quit unexpectedly, the last 5 months of photos disappeared from my library. Please help!

You're using iPhoto 6?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Running MacOS 10.9.4 16 Gb RAM Lightroom v5.2

Failed to obtain image version information from Aperture library

Mac OS X 10.10.1 (yes, Yosemite...)
Aperture 3.6
Lightroom 5.7,1 (CC version)
When trying to import some libraries from aperture I get this immediate response "Failed to obtain image version information from Aperture library".
In the plug-in import window, Number of image/video files is "undetermined", as well as Disk space required.
Tried with different Aperture libraries, but with the same negative result.
The plug-in worked in previous Lightroom version or when it was a stand alone plug-in.

OK, here is the workaround I did to migrate all my images.
1. I broke down my Aperture library into separate libraries based on year (highlight all the 2014 projects, for example, right click, and "export to library")
2. Import each separate library into Lightroom, one at a time.
3. Delete the year-based libraries - and leave your original library on the drive (in case you need it in the future).
I found I had one project in my 2013 photos which was causing Lightroom's scan of my database to fail. So I ended up creating metadata riders for that one project and imported it after I got the rest of my images imported.

iWeb 'disappeared' from my iMac after upgrading to OS X10.8 - any ideas? tkx

Did you do an erase and install of Mt Lion? In any case you'll have to reinstall iWeb from its original source. Did iWeb come with your computer? If so you should have a couple of disks that came with your Mac and one of them will have the Bundled Software Install package on it. Like one of these:
Be sure to update iWeb to the latest and last version, 3.0.4, from Apple Downloads web page.

Error when trying to import from Aperture Library

I'm trying to import my Aperture Library into Lightroom using the "Import from Aperture Library" plug-in. Every time I get a "?:0: attempt to index a nil value" error as soon as I click the Import button. I've tried removing Lightroom (and its ancillary files) and re-installing, I've tried different destination disks for the import, I've repaired the Aperture Library, nothing helps - the same error appears every time. I'm using a Retina iMac with OS X Yosemite and LR 5.7.1. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

Hi Jack
I think it may still be work in progress and you may need to wait a little. Problems have also been reported importing from iPhoto. See this thread:

I rented a movie, tried to put it on my Ipad, it didn't work. the movie has now disappeared from my library.
when I tried to sync, it said I had no internet connection which is not the case.
how can I get it back????

Once you move the movie from iTunes to the iPad, the movie disappears from iTunes. That's how rentals work.
If you can't find the movie on the iPad, you will have to contact iTunes support to get help with this. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if the movies shows up, but its gone from iTunes and it will not come back unless you rent it again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can try doing a search as well, by swiping to the right from your first home screen. Type the name of the movie in and see if it appears.

Missing aperture library after moving it to external HD

My iWeb no longer "see" my aperture library after I moved it to my external HD. my aperture library was getting really large so I moved it off my internal HD to an external HD and now my iWeb doesn't see it.
Is there a way to tell iWeb where my new aperture library is located?
thanks
cliff

Only by manually managing the updating. If you have the external why not just locate the iTunes library there? You have the iPod for portability you don't need the library on the Powerbook.

My music has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

The music I have purchased from the itunes store has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

There is a way of getting your music back if you have purchased it - go to the itunes store, click "purchased" under the "quick links" on the right hand side of the page, near the top, and then it allows you to re-download anything that you have purchased under that apple id. Phew! Over 200 songs - I'm glad i found this out!

Everything disappeared from my library

when i opened my itunes yesterday everyhting had disappeared from my library, including all my podcasts and downloaded tracks and tv programmes!
i had most of my music saved seperately so i can put it back on, but all my podcasts have gone, and the tv progs
does anyone know what might have happened, and if i can get the stuff back?

I have had the same thing happen to my library and getting help from Apple is nearly impossible. I don't know if this will help you but any info. is usefull.
I feel your pain, I've reloaded all my ipods and library over 3 times because everytime I put everything back on and crossed my fingers, my library would be deleted again. So on the fouth time putting my library file back on to my computer (not a difficult thing but just a pian in the butt) and I started to put the "Genious" feature back on, I glanced once again, as we all do, to the terms and cond. and it stated something like " you are sending your library to itunes but they don't sell the info." or something to that effect. So it finally occured to me that if I'm sending my library info. to itunes,maybe they don't put it back once I log off and turn my computer off. So I tried not putting the "genious" feature on, and my library is still intact. I think everytime you use Genious you have to turn it off on your computer or else your library will be deleted. As far as any previous playlists, those are gone. You'll have to start from scratch. But its better than having a deleted library everytime you open itunes. Sorry for the long explanation. I could've said "dont turn in Genious, or turn genious off" when you log off, but if your like me, I want to know "why" this is happening. Anyway, this may help until Apple figures a way to fix this glitch. Let me know if it works! Good luck!

Can RAW images from Aperture library stored in an External HD?

I last night[I thought I did] stored projects from aperture library to an external Iomega Mac version HD.[Partitioned the Iomega into two One large225GB for Time Machine and small 125GB for just back up folders]
Then I have reinstalled my Mac OS.
Now I connect the HD to my Apple Mac Book Air and see the saved images on the external HD but not highlighted and not there for available to open in my Aperture Apps?
I also tried to import selectively the Aperture images from my Time Machine back up and that too failed.
I on opening the Aperture selected "Import photos form a Disk" but that failed too.
I have also saved to the same external HD some modified photos saves as JEPG and they open ok.
When I reinstalled the OS and registered in a different name, would that make any difference to importing Aperture projects saved on an external HD?
Can anybody suggest a way to open those Aperture project folders that I have stored on my External HD?
Regards

Projects are entirely maintained in the Aperture Library. You can use 'referenced masters', in which your masters don't reside inside the library (and the library merely keeps track of where you decided to keep them.)
When you import new photos, Aperture updates some information in the library so that it knows the photos exist, where they reside, what sort of changes you've made to them, etc. You can't just plop new images into an external folder and expect Aperture to notice them. Think of this as "formally introducing your photos to Aperture" -- via the import process. Aperture wont deal with any photo you haven't introduced to it.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the alarm bells and red flashing lights that went off as soon as I read you were keeping your photos on an external drive partitioned for Time Machine and backup folders. Bad bad bad.
There are two types of disks in the world: (1) Those that have failed, and (2) those that are going to fail. Sadly, even backup drives are not an exception to this rule.
Never keep the "working" copy of your data on the same physical drive as a "backup" copy of your data. When the drive fails (and someday it will) you'll just lose all your copies of your work -- so much for having a backup. Drives are very cheap these days. Just get another one and dedicate your backup disks just for backups.
As you have a MacBook Air (and thus only a single USB 2.0 port) you might want to look into "Network Attached Storage" (aka NAS). This way you don't have a tangled mess of a USB hub hanging off your Mac with several disk drives also hanging off the side of your Mac. The disks just live on the network - as though they're remote file servers. If the network is connected via Gigabit ethernet, the effective throughput to read/write those drives is about 3x faster than a locally attached USB 2.0 drive (no kidding!). You might think this is really expensive -- but you'd be surprised. I was checking prices at Other World Computing recently (an online store of products targeted to Mac owners) and noticed you can buy an empty NAS enclosure (meaning you buy the disk to go inside it) for as cheap as $25! An enclosure with 250GB disk pre-installed and Time-Machine compatible was about $120. To put this in perspective... I recently paid about $150 for a B+W Circular Polarizing filter. So all this technology costs less than one decent lens filter for my camera.

Lightroom 6 migration from Aperture Library

Hi, I have bough Lightroom 6 for win but I don't find the Plug-in Extras > Import from Aperture Library. Can you help me?

john beardsworth wrote:
Do you see it in Plugin Manager? What version of the plugin? It should be 1.0.989919. Is it enabled?
I'm not sure it's designed to run on Windows. Adobe may have assumed that only Apple users would need it.
Can't find them now, but yes, the plug-in only works on Lightroom for OS X. Confirmed by Adobe. Only option is to run the migration on a Mac and use the result on Windows.
