Process of updating library and vaults?

Hi, I am wondering what the process is for updating the library and vaults? Does it require a substantial amount of time? I am also wondering about making a duplicate of the library prior to upgrading(power failure, bugs, etc.), to save having to rebuild from a vault in v.1.5 , and doing the V2 upgrade again?
Anybody already done this that can comment?
thanks

Ah, that's bad. Wasn't the fw update released for you through FOTA?
Now that youre phone is "dead" due to a failed fw update you should see this guide by Psychomania in the "ppol of knowledge" section: /t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Recovering-from-a-failed-firmware-update/td-p/398147
This will tell you what to do.

Updated to newest version of itunes and now it tries to update library and freezes, how do I get it to just play music again.

Updated to newest version of itunes and now it tries to update library and it stops responding and won't let me cancel the little update bar that appears. I just want to know how to get it to the point where I can play music again.

This is happening to me too, very frustrating

Update process stuck "Updating library"

So, I have a large database (~400GB--been meaning to split it out into smaller dbs for a while but haven't taken the time to figure out how to yet). Tried to update it last night, and after the initial 10 step update process which went by after a few minutes, saw an error that there were inconsistencies and that Aperture needed to restart. I clicked ok, but it never restarted and instead began to update my library picture by picture. It's been stopped at 27649 of 130340 for a long time now, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do. Activity monitor doesn't show any life (1.1 percent of CPU constantly and no change in RAM usage). I know people have said not to force quit, but I'm not seeing another option here. But even if I do force quit, I'm not sure what my next steps should be.

With 130,000 images in your library, and the fact that Aperture is using CPU (albeit a small amount), my suggestion is to wait another 12 hours or so, if you can afford to. If you force quit, you'll be doing more work down the road and it will take just as long.

Problem with library and vault

I would like to know how to take all photos out of Aperture and start over.
When I upgraded to V.3, I think I set things up incorrectly. I had a vault but now there is no vault and I now have folders that appear under Projects & Albums that indicate Aperture Vault, Aperture Vault (1) and Aperture Vault (2). I did not make these folders. There are duplicates of photos in "Aperture Vault and Aperture Vault (1)" folders. I had used an external drive for the vault with V2 and now there is a Aperture Vault on the external drive and also on the internal drive and also an Aperture Library on both the internal and external drives. In the Vault and Vault (1) folders there are folders with the same names but different numbers of photos in the projects. I just would really like to start over and import my photos again; I don't really care about adjustments at this point, only the masters.
Vault
Vault(1)

Linda,
You did not post the entire screenshot of your Library Inspector, but I suspect I know what's going on. Is the "Vault" a blue folder, as well as the "Vault(1)"?
I also have a top-level folder called "SimpleDrive Vault", which was the name of an Aperture 2 vault which I had to restore. (I had the unfortunately coincidence of a hard drive going bad the day I was intended to install Aperture 3. I got a new hard drive, installed Ap 3, and then restored the Ap 2 library to start.) When restoring your vault, Aperture may just create a new top-level folder with your vault name underneath it. There is nothing wrong with it. It is not your vault. It is a folder with your vault name. You can choose to restructure everything (I.e., drag and drop stuff wherever you want), although you may have duplicates.
I imagine that the duplicates are part of the problem you are trying to solve. However, there is no way around it. To "start over", as you asked, you will necessary have to send every photo outside of Aperture, duplicates included, and them import them. I.e., you will have duplicates no matter what.
To answer your question specifically, the best way to "start over" in your case is probably to "relocate Masters" for every photo in your library to a location of your choosing, trash your library (which would then contain only your project structure, and not any photos), and then create a new library and reimport your photos. Keep in mind what I stated above, though. You will just end up with a new library with the same structure as the old library.

Paired HDs for Library and Vault?

When I did the T3 a few years back (A1.5), the instructor said that the Library and the Vault should be on exactly the same size, brand etc Hard Drives and that they should be the only things on those drives. I don't even remember the rationale now, but I think it was the idea that the vault is a mirror of the Library. In any case, I've had it that way for years.
I recently had problems with the vault drive and created a new vault on another drive that's not a match. My question is whether this ever mattered, and if it matters now.
I really don't see why it would considering that the vault really isn't an EXACT mirror of the library anyway. Also, that recommendation included the use of a fully managed library which I no longer do.
(However, I do still use dedicated drives. I think that matters.)

I've never done this, in 4 years of use of Aperture.
I don't think it's necessary.

ITunes 7: updates library and "gap" everytime I start iTunes

Okay, this is absurd. I just upgraded (I used the term loosely) from iTunes 6 to 7.
Now, everytime I open iTunes, I have to wait for: 1) the iTunes music library to update, and 2) iTunes to check the gap between songs. As I operate on a network, with the music files on a netword drive, this process takes HOURS for my library to update 4,000 songs and thier "gap."
Can I turn this "feature" off ?
e-John

I'm still looking at this issue. I have several computers, and one, I downgraded to 6.0.5 and it seems stable.

Aperture Library and Vault: Why the difference in size?

My Aperture Library is 226 GB and the Vault that's supposedly backing it up is only 144 GB?
I recently upgrade from a G5 to a new Mac Pro. The Library is intact but has something happened after I updated the vault? I can't remember if the vault size was so much smaller before I transferred all the date from my old Mac to my new one. Should I delete everything on the external hard drive containing the Vault and create a brand new vault?
Advice welcome.

A bit late, but just thought I'd add to this. Tidysteve is right, the previews can use up a lot of space. If you're using hi-res previews, they're effectively a JPEG of the same dimensions as the original file, so they can be quite big. If I do hi-res previews for my DSLR they can be up to 4 or 5 MB each so it could definitely explain the big difference.
Try rebuilding your previous at a smaller size. BUT, do it when you've got nothing else to do and walk away for a while as it will take a loooong time.

Strange library and vault sizes

Hi there, I have been updating my library, vault and back-ups with some surprising results:
managed library (internal HDD on MacPro) - 140.76GB
vault (on separate internal HDD on MacPro) - 132.66GB
library back-up (copied to NAS) - 142.56GB
vault back-up (copied to NAS) - 56.96GB
offsite library back-up (copied to Maxtor 1TB drive) - 67.94GB
offsite vault back-up (copied to Maxtor 1TB drive) - 134.2GB
Does anyone know why:
1. The vault should be a smaller size than the library
2. The vault and library copies should be a different size than the files on the Aperture generated packages?
This makes me feel uneasy - do I actually have a reliable back-up? Also, these are large files and take many hours to copy from the Pro to the NAS and then the Pro to the Maxtor. I'm wondering if it would be more efficient to change to a referenced system and then use software like Sync! to copy across files that have been edited rather than the entire managed library.
Any comments, suggestions welcome. Also, any pointers to information re back-up philosophies.
Thanks in advance, Mark

Hi Mark,
This could be your answer.

New library and vault?

Hi i have been storing my aperture library on an external 1TB HD.
I have kept a vault on an identical drive.
both are nearly full now, so i was wondering.....
what should i do?
im all ready to but a couple of new drives to continue, but do i have to create a new library on the new drive and new vault on the other?
if i do this, does it mean i cannot access the old library?
im at a bit of a loss, so any advice is much appreciated!

I think you should be looking at referenced files at this point. See below

No, but you would have to switch back and forth between libraries- an easy task in A3 but IMHO unnecessary
im at a bit of a loss, so any advice is much appreciated!
Here's what I would do in your situation.
Let's say you now have four drives: one with your library, one with a vault you can't connect to (per your other thread) and two that are new, empty and formatted OSX.
1. Create a new vault on one of the new drives.
2. reformat the drive with the vault you can't connect to
Now you have a library drive, a vault drive and two blank drives
3. begin using referenced files for new projects and maybe some existing projects (By relocating masters) on one of the blank drives.
4. Use the other blank drive as a back up for your new referenced drive. You could use Time Machine for this if it's not already in use elsewhere- which it should be- but SuperDuper would be ideal.
So you have four drives:
A3library (on site)
A3vault (off site)
A3referennced (on site)
A3referenncedBU (off site)
Make sure you fully understand Managed Files and Referenced Files, and how they are backed up. When setting up the file structure on your referenced drive, remember that "failing to plan is planning to fail".

"Updating Library" - problem with uploading pictures

I have been trying to upload pictures and when I go into photos it says "updating library" and it's been trying for at least an hour. I've tried uploading only 15 pictures and still nothing. I also have the issue with the size. Do I need to resize before upload? If so how and in what dimensions? Need help!!

Theree is no need to resize photos, the computer will do that before transferring.
Try force quitting the photo app on the iPad by holding the sleep wake button until you see the slide to power off screen. Then hold the home button until you are back at the home screen and try open the photos app again.

Concept insert,update,delete and select

hi all, i want to ask
Where I get an explanation of the concept of work process insert, update, delete and select records. From the user starts the query until accessing records the physical . or is there that can give the picture of concept process insert,update,delete and select record??

I'm not sure what are you asking here.
Are you asking how do I do these operations in a JDeveloper built application? Which technologies are you using?
Have a look at this tutorial for the basics of how to do select/update - insert and delete are two more operations you can add to your page from the data control:

Updating Library...forever

I/m trying out the developer build of our revised newsstand friendly app. When I tap the app in the newsstand, it just says Updating Library and never seems to make any progress. I have to think I'm missing a step or doing something wrong. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Please reply with one of the productIDs in your folio selection. This behavior is a symptom of misconfigured rendition folios. I can investigate and give guidance if it's something that can be remedied with an update.
Thanks.

Please Wait Updating Library

It took 8+ hours to sync my iPad, we have lots of photos. On my iPhone the photos are 14.49G and on iPad 14.39G. When I try to view the photos on my iPad I get a screen which says "Please Wait Updating Library" and after a few minutes it just goes back to the home screen.
I have 800M free on the 32G model. I just removed lots of TV shows so now have 4.84G free on iPad, but still same behavior. Also when I just synced it, the iPad crashed and I had to do a hard reset to recover (Holding home and power button to reboot)

I found an interesting thing about the iPad "Crashing" to the Apple Logo with an off-centered rotating bar - it is, in fact, not crashed. If you keep the iPad connected to the computer, you can click "Sync" or "Apply" and recover the iPad without doing the 5 minute long hard reset. I am still looking at Events as the troublemaker, but I can't seem to pinpoint what is happening. It doesn't seem to be an "Event Limit" as I was able to sync 407 events fine, 417 then a crash, then 407 events again with a crash.
I can sync the last 12 months of events just fine, and a handful of others that I selected.
As far as this all goes, I think it's something deep within the code that we won't be able to fix with workarounds. I've sent a bug report to Apple, and the ball seems to now be in their court.

Aperture 3.3.1 frequently "Updating Library" when I quit Aperture

Since I've upgraded to Aperture 3.3 (now 3.3.1), Aperture frequently (almost 100%) spends time "Updating Library" when I quit Aperture. This takes like 40 mins to do. I've fixed permissions and repaired the library but no difference.
Does anyone else have this problem? I was hoping 3.3.1 would fix this problem but it doesn't. Next plan would be to rebuild the library but that will take a long time!
Jason

Sadly, you are on the cutting edge of the deployment of Aperture 3.3.x (along with many other posters here). The answer to your unasked questions -- "What is going on, and how can I fix it?" -- is "We don't know yet". Since you have upgraded to 3.3.1, and have let Aperture more than once run through whatever it is doing when it says "Updating Library" and it continues to update the Library for 40 minutes every time you close the Library, I advise you to go ahead with rebuilding the database. IME, this rarely takes longer than 10 hours, and can be run overnight.
I have rebuilt Libraries many times and have never seen a Library damaged by the rebuild. Nevertheless, you should have a complete and verified back-up before doing any maintenance on any Library.
Let us know what you do, and what the result is. Thanks.

Update of vault goes through entire library and get error message
