Need help with Aperture library duplicating all 'Albums' under 'Projects' library

Fairly new to Aperture but I've tried to search many times for solutions to this issue.
Scenario: In the Library, I have 3 albums under the 'Albums' view at the bottom that I created. They were never associated with a project so they were always kept down here. This I believe is normal. What is not normal is that this morning the same 3 albums started showing up in an Albums folder under one of my projects in the 'Project' view above it. At first when I clicked on the project it showed the entire library (+20k photos) despite saying only 14 images were in this folder. I fixed this by moving the 14 photos into a different project with a different name. But the Albums folder remains. It is a direct mirror of the albums below (same name, same photos), and when I delete an album from the 'Projects' view it deletes the same album below. Same thing if I remove a picture from the album above, it does it below. I have other albums under specific projects that do not show up under 'Albums' view in the Library. Again I belive this is correct.
Making this more frustrating is that I can't just simply move or delete the duplicate Albums above and it is under a 'Project' that doesn't make any sense (e.g., under a Project named 'Travel' but all albums are related to 'Birthday Parties'). I tried creating new albums and then deleting the old ones, but then it actually removes the 'Album' section of my library and I don't know how to get it back as I'd still like to keep that functionality.
I have also repaired and rebuilt the database twice with no improvement. One other point is that I believe this is officially an iPhoto library, but this version of Aperture and iPhoto supposedly allows for sharing without any issues. I tried repairing via iPhoto as well, but no luck there.
Can anyone help or suggest solutions? Thanks in advance.

The sections in the Library Inspector have hidden controls to Hided or Show them. The controls will appear, if you hover the mouse close to the right border of the Inspector panel. There you can toggle the visibility of the different sections on and off.
The whole Subsection (ALBUM in ALL CAPS) is gone, no remant left (so no Hide/Unhide button). I can hide the PROJECTS, SHARED, RECENT, ETC, but ALBUMS is again gone.
Just to be better able to understand what is happening in your library:
At first when I clicked on the project it showed the entire library (+20k photos) despite saying only 14 images were in this folder.
This looks to me, like your albums were "Smart Albums" and not regular albums. Regular albums don't change the contents, when you open them for browsing. Or reflect changes in other library items.
What do the icons of your "albums" look like? Is there a "gears" icon on it? Then your album is a smart album, and I'd try to update the smart settings for the album/
Nope. No gears and I've never used a Smart Album. They were all part of my old iPhoto library but that import was done 2-3 months ago and this issue just started today. Right now the Album is just a folder under PROJECTS, with each individual Album beneath having icons that look like two photos stacked (i.e., normal albums). Also, when I click on the main Album's folder it reads 'TopLevelAlbums' as the header on the top of the main section. When I click on any other project, folder, or individual album it just reads the same name as the header....this was the first clue to me that something was wrong...besides the ALBUM folder having +20k pictures in it.
Aperture 3.5.1 . I'm going to try creating the new library and see if it fixes it. Thanks for the help.

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

I need help with Aperture 2

I received a message that said my Aperture 2 library was unstable and needed to be restored, which I did from an external back up. After the library and projects were restored, my project national parks was missing. I restored the library a second time and had the same result with no national parks project. I have needed to restore the library in the past with complete success. I reviewed the contents of the Vault in the external hard drive and did not see the national parks project. I also reviewed all of the images in the restored library and didn't see the images there, as well. I back up the library on the external hard drive regularly. Since I don't have access to the images in the vault, is there anyway of getting back the images from my national parks project.

Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding.

Need Help Moving Aperture Library to new MacBook

I am unable to move my Aperture 3.1.1 library from my old (2008) MacBook Pro to the new one which I just got. It is a managed library.
When I try to move the library over I get the following error message +"One or more items can’t be copied to “Pictures” because you don’t have permission to read them. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"+.
I have already Repaired Aperture Permissions and Database and Rebuilt the Database.
Please help. Apple won't!

Niel you are a god! The files appear to be copying over after your suggestion. It will be awhile before I am sure everything is completely set as I am copying a 100GB Aperture library over firewire. However it appears this fix did the trick.
It has been a wasteful and stressful afternoon dealing with this.
Thank You!

Need help with itunes library/music. please see inside

So there's a long story to this one but to make it as short as possible:
At one point I wasn't able to open iTunes on my desktop (something about a .itl file or whatever) so I made a new desktop to be used specifically for iTunes. I don't remember how I copied all the songs to that desktop (I have a program called TuneTransfer but for whatever reason it won't work now).
My problem is that now, for whatever reason, iTunes started working on my original desktop and I would like to get rid of the other one. What is the easiet way to transfer all of my songs from one desktop to the other?

I've been an iTunes user for a long time now and have finally decided to do some proper file management
Don't. Once the files are added to the iTunes library, any direct touching the files withing Windows will only mess things up.
Can someone explain to me the difference between the various fields when sorting multiple files in an album, under "Info" or "Sorting".
Do the fields under the tab "Sorting" override those in "Info" or is it the opposite?
The former. They override it for purposes of sorting within the iTunes application. They do not affect the file structure.

Need help with Aperture, Leopard and G5 1.8

I need some help and advice. After doing a clean install of Leopard, I can not open up Aperture (On my G5 1.8). At first it crashed after about 10-15 seconds. So I reinstalled Aperture and now it opens but all I see is Aperture in the finder and NO Aperture window just the desktop.
I've gone through all the discussions for the past couple weeks and have tried everything that has been suggested. Reinstall, delete plist, replace Prokit, etc etc. But one thing I have noticed is that I seem to be the only one having this particular problem. The transition went fine on my new Macbook Pro.
SO, I'm open to any suggestions that anybody has. Thanks much in advance!!

Did you do all the software updates? Aperture will not start on my macbook pro. I recently updated to leopard, then did a brand new aperture install. It keeps crashing aperture after the welcome marquee no matter which choice I select.
Ran a software update, and it says 130mb download required to get aperture up to date.
Hopefully that will fix me. Maybe running software update until you show fully updated will work for you?
I installed aperture as admin, if the software update trick does not work, I will try to run aperture one time while logged in as admin to make sure it is not a problem with getting a registration key to update for a first run of the app. If that was it, I will get back to you. I think a lot of people with macs just run as admin all the time to save hassles when installing software.
Best wishes.

Need Help with iTunes Library in New OS

Hi.
I just switched operating systems from Windows XP 32-bit on a spinning drive to Windows 7 64-bit on a solid-state drive.
I keep my iTunes data on an external drive with the path M:\data\iTunes. I have organize files on, but all the music is in the iTunes folder and not in a music sub-folder.
When I set the path in the new OS and add the library the files all show up, but about half of the art is missing and none of the music will play because the file isn't where iTunes expects it to be. Podcasts won't play, either, and audiobooks aren't showing up at all..
I'm thinking this might be happening because iTunes is expecting the music, podcasts, and books to be in the "proper" subfolders.
Ideas, anyone? How can I fix?

Select a track and press CTRL+I to Get Info. Look at the location given on the summary tab. It should begin with file://localhost. Where is the file really? In some cases it may be possible to move the folders around so that the media is where iTunes expects to find it.
Alternatively you could move things into a more typical layout as shown in this diagram on the right.
And then use my script FindTracks to fix the broken links. I'd suggest you move the iTunes folder to the root of the drive first. See also my post on making a split library portable for background.

Need Help With hp psc 1350 all-in-one, Please.

Good morning.
The subject printer, purchased in January 2004, has done a great job over the years, but recently has encountered a number of problems. They may have started with several problems with my Windows XP Home Edition SP3 (loss of sound, Security Center not opening, etc.). It begin with an alert that I did not have a valid Windows image for C:\ProgramFiles\HP\hpcoretech\HPcompMgr.dll. Today, when trying to print something off the net I got another alert that HPZEN609.exe - bad image.
I have discovered that my HP Printer is no longer under warranty support, etc. Plus, my computer was built in 2003, so maybe both are going bad. But, I thought someone here might have experienced the same printer problems and know how to correct them.
Your help would be appreciated.

I need help with being able to move a GarageBand project from my iMac to my Mac Book

...iMac to my MacBookPro, so that I can continue to work on it on the laptop. When I go to 'Save As' Archive the option is greyed out. Then I read something about grabbing blue loops after clicking the eye icon on another forum, but I didn't see anything like that.

you only need the Archive function if you don't have the same loops on the other computer, or if you pasted regions between projects.
that said, here's the description for enabling it:

The other things what i have aren't really important just that i have an enermax 431Watt. MSI wrote me that i have to put out the mainboard out of the case but why should i do this, the case is open right now and normally that shouldn't change anything. I read also some posts here and about new Ram but maybe there is someone who knows whats going on!

Need help with pop-up

Need help with this one. All of a sudden I keep getting a
pop-up saying "cannot locate file flash.ocx". What the heck is it
and how do I get rid of it. It is QUITE annoying. Any help would be
appreciated.

I am glad to hear that changing or disabling the screensaver
seems to fix this problem for most of us. Certainly, screensavers
are pretty antiquated and pointless on the newer computers out
there, but there are still some uses. Ever since I turned mine off
on one computer and switched to an older screensaver on my oldest
computer, I have not had this problem. And, unfortunately, I think
the problem is isolated to such a small fraction of screensavers
that adobe is just going to let those distributors take care of the
problem rather than spending the time to fix whatever glitch is
affecting them. The only downside is that once you figure out the
problem, which can take time and effort, you could lose a pretty
cool screensaver. All in all, that isn't much in the long run,
certainly not enough to get adobe involved.

I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).
