Unable to open Aperture library in Photos

Hi,
I am unable to open my Aperture library in Photos.
In the attempt to get this fixed, I carried out from within Aperture (by pressing alt-cmd during Aperture startup) in 'Photo library first aid' all three options that are offered: Repair permissions, repair database, rebuild database - nothing helped. I also had corrected before some dangling references to pictures that are not managed in the library; there are no offline or unreferenced pictures in the library.
In 'Photos' I am getting a pop-up windows with the message at stage "Preparing library ... 69% completed": "The library could not be opened. Photos has attempted to repair the library xxxx, but is unable to open it."
However, that same library opens fine in Aperture, and also in iPhoto.
What is the problem?
Thanks
Wolfgang

I talked to apple support.  They recommended doing a basic level permissions repair using the following procedure:
The advice is a little outdated, and you just have to run the disk utility program to repair the permissions on your main drive and the drive upon which you store the databases.  I have tried the following procedure and have re-run the importation procedure.  Just at 1% now - so I hope that it will work this time.  If it doesn't, I will report back after talking to a  Level 2 person at Photos support.

In the newest versions of OS X, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
Restart OS X and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.
Great tip, thanks for sending this in Tony R!
Update: This works in OS X 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, OS X 10.10 Yosemite, and newer.

  • Unable to open Aperture Library

    I am once again experiencing problems with my Aperture Library which is stored in an external hard disk.
    Keep getting an error "1712" and message saying that application can not be opened.
    Have tried to repair by holding down the command and option key while double clicking in the library but still no success! :-(

    Have tried to move my Aperture Library from the other ext drive by dragging it across, but unable to do so. Can you point me at the right direction for this?
    What happens when you try? Do you you get an error message "Some items cannot be copied" or similar?  Then you new drive is probably not formatted correctly as MacOS Extended (Journaled). Backup any items you moved to the drive and reformat it:

  • IPhoto '11 version 9.0.1 didn't fix"iphoto is unable to open this library"

    I upgraded iPhoto to version 9.0.1 but I still have the same issue : iPhoto '11 is unable to open and update my photos library. After launching iPhoto, it tried to update the library but I got the message "iphoto is unable to open this library". I tried all the workaround mentioned by the members of this forum without success. I even rebuild my library with the maintenance mode of iPhoto '09 before trying again to update it with iPhoto '11.
    What should I do? Am I the only one in this case with version 9.0.1 ?
    I need to access back to my photos and I'm surprised Apple is yet unable to propose a workaround for bypassing this library updating issue. By the way, it is strange that for being able to update a defective library you need to run the rebuilding options, but for being able to rebuild the library with iPhoto '11, you need first to update it. We are in a dead end!
    Message was edited by: Fred@M

    You are not alone! I have the exact same problem, and 9.0.1 didn't help me either.
    iPhoto 9.0 originally gave me this error. I removed it and re-installed iPhoto 8, which opens gives errors about the library needing repair. After running some of the rebuilding options I got the library open but all items from 2010 are missing.
    I then reinstalled iPhoto 9.0.1 and tried to open an older backup of my iPhoto library that works fine with iPhoto 8. That won't open either, with the same error message- "iPhoto is unable to open this library." So basically I can't use iPhoto 9.0.1 at all, and with my most current library trashed I will have to go back to my nearly year-old backup library (I know, my bad) and import all newer photos, which I fortunately have stored elsewhere, again.
    Or more likely, I will keep using my "backup" library on my PC with Picasa until I can try another iPhoto update that will hopefully restore my damaged library (wishful thinking, I suspect!)

  • IPhoto is unable to open this library

    When I try to open my iPhoto library, I get the following message:
    "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto."
    I click "Upgrade" and then get the following error message:
    "iPhoto is unable to open this library."
    I am using iPhoto 9.2.1, Mac OS 10.7.2, on an old iMac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM.  My photos are stored on a Western Digital My World Book 2 network drive.  Multiple computers have accessed this iPhoto library over my home network with no issues.
    This problem just developed this week.  I take all the software updates as they come along, but don't think anything was updated within the past 3 weeks.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Larry,
    The problem seems isolated to one computer.  I am still able to access my iPhoto library from a second computer.  Do you know how I can force iPhoto look to a different library file?  I have tried holding down the Control key while launching iPhoto, but it doesn't seem to work for this.
    Also, I have been able to use the WD drives with my iPhoto library.  The "My World Book 2" has always supported my iPhoto library.  I have a larger WD ShareSpace that recently got a firmware upgrade to support the Mac OS extended (journaled) format.  They call it Hierarchical File System + Journaled (HFS+J).
    Thanks for your help!

  • Sorting In the Aperture library entitled "Photos"

    In the Aperture library entitled "Photos", is there an easy way that I can I sort all the photos according to the chronological order in which they were taken?

    If you select "Photos"  in the Library and set the Browser to "Split View",  you can sort the images by Date. Set the Selector on top of the film strip to "Date Ascending" or "Date Descending", like this:
    This will sort them by capture date.

  • Everytime I attempt to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option if gives is to quit. How do I get it to open?

    When I select iPhoto to open the application, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option available is to quit. I don't know what library iPhoto is attempting to open, but all I want to do is just start iPhoto over from scratch.

    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' to find out what Library is in question. Use the 'Create Library' option to make a new one.
    To try and repair the damaged one:
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager 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. .

  • Cannot open aperture library in iPhoto

    I recently opened an old iPhoto library in Aperture. This changed the file extension, and presumably the file structure. Libraries are supposed to be interchangeable between the two apps, but now I get the following message when I try to open the libary in iPhoto: "To open this Aperture library in iPhoto, it first needs to be upgraded with Aperture 3.3 or later. Quit iPhoto and then open your library in Aperture to upgrade it." I'm running Aperture 3.4.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3. I've repaired permissions and rebuilt the database (and whatever the third option was when Aperture is launched with Command-Option). Any suggestions?

    Stephen,
    the problem is probably an inconsistent DateModelVersion.plist file in the Aperture Library.
    If the library cannot be repaired, try to restore this file from your backup, from a time when the library could be opened in iPhoto. If you have Code installed, you can try to edit the file manually.
    see joeholmes post:  Re: Help! Can't Open Aperture Library (Requires iPhoto 9.4?)
    or the manual fix by jashman: Re: Help! Can't Open Aperture Library (Requires iPhoto 9.4?)

  • Insufficient disk space when opening Aperture library in iPhoto

    I just created a fresh library with 3000 photos (6GB) in Aperture. I then tried to open that library using iPhoto by holding down the Option key on launch but got an alert: "Insufficient Disk Space: There is not enough free space on the disk that contains this library to upgrade it. It is estimated that you need at least 6GB of free space."
    OK, I only have 4GB of free space on my HD. But why would iPhoto need to upgrade the library to begin with? I'm using the latest version of both Aperture (3.5.1) and iPhoto (9.5.1) and I thought they use the exact same library. And even if iPhoto needs to upgrade the library, why would it need an extra 6GB when the Aperture library is only 6GB? If opening the library in iPhoto results in increasing the library size from 6GB to 12GB, I'd rather not do it. Am I missing something?

    iPhoto and Aperture are using the same library, but Aperture has preference settings, that prevent previews or faces from being created. If you open an Aperture library in iPhoto, the library size may increase, since iPhoto may be creating files, that Aperture did not create.  Probably iPhoto's estimated was too pessimistic, but opening an Aperture library can increase the library size.
    But photograhis is right. You should not be running any applications at all, if you do not have at least 20GBof free disk space.

  • Unable to restore aperture library using time machine

    Aperture's UI was being barely responsive earlier today, and when I deleted a photo, it ended up actually deleting an entire album.
    So I close Aperture and go to my last Time Machine backup to restore my Aperture library. The restore is going perfectly normally, but it gets about halfway through and stops. It throws up a "You do not have permission to do that" notice.
    I've tried doing this numerous ways, including an actual "Restore" via Time Machine and also simply pulling the Aperture library off the Time Machine HDD via Finder. Same result no matter what I do.
    Help please! I'm looking at an icon of my Aperture library that has all my photos in it, but I cannot copy it!

    Thanks, MacDLS. I had checked the permissions under Get Info, but I don't remember an "ignore ownership" option. I'll look for it.
    The problem may be a corrupted HDD. After posting my question, I ran Disk Utility, and it was unable to complete a "Repair Disk" on the backup HDD. So I'm assuming there are some corrupted sectors.

  • Cannot open Aperture library

    I have multiple Aperture 3 libraries. I have the most current version of Aperture (3.5.1) and OS10.9.1. I can open all my libraries except one - the one I need for Christmas! I have tried all threee repair steps multiple times. Sometimes it gets as far a showing me albums, but that is as far as it gets before it locks up. I also moved it from a remote HD to my main iMac HD with still no luck. What other steps can I use?

    Léonie,
    Wow, I so appreciate your input!
    To summarize:
    You tried all three First Aid Tools - repair database, repair permissions, rebuild, right?
    You can open other Aperture libraries, right?
    Your Aperture library is on your system drive?
    Deferring the generation of previews did not help
    All true
    Does your christmas library contain other media types than the other libraries that work well? Videos, raw files?
    Most images are RAW files and there is also some video
    Do you have enough free disk space?
    Yes, plenty
    It worked for a couple hours this moring and when it woke up, it was locked up again...
    What are you trying to do? Printing a photo book? Rendering a slideshow?
    Organizing images into a photo book, printing, all of the above.
    So Aperture does not immediately hang? Try to start Aperture's Activity window right after startup: Window > Show Activity.  Watch it, so you can tell what Aperture is doing, when the "Hang" starts.
    Also watch the Console, so you can see what immediately befor the hang will happen, perhaps what it causing it.
    I am not able to really start anything in that library immedniatly after start-up, but will try again to watch.
    When did this hang start? After you imported new images, or after you installed or upgraded software?
    Software is updated automatically now. It started about 3 weeks ago.

  • Unable to open Aperture 2 because it is apparently in conflict with an old trial version 3. Any tips how to solve this?

    I am unable to open my Aperture2.
    The following warning message shows on top of the ususl opening window:
    Quote
    The libraryin "users/pedro/pictures/Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary" cannot be loaded because it is from newer version of Aperture.
    Unquote
    It looks like some kind of conflict with an old trial version 3, to which I never upgraded.
    Any tips to help me solving the issue?

    Do you need to run Aperture 2, or do you need to open the "Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary"?
    If you only want to run Aperture 2, then launch Aperture by double-clicking your regular Aperture 2 library; this should open Aperture on the correct library. In Aperture 3 you also simply could hold down the options-key while double-clicking the Aperture Applications icon in the Dock - probably this works in Aperture 2 as well,
    But if you need to open your Aperture 3 trial library with Aperture 2, because you converted your Aperture 2 library to Aperture 3 format; there is no easy way to do it. The best would be to find a backup of your library from the time before you converted it. If you do not have such a backup, then the easiest way would be to upgrade to Aperture 3 at this point.
    I do not know enough about the Aperture 2 library format to be able to tell you how to manually downgrade an Aperture 3 library to Aperture 2 format.

  • Migrate large Aperture library to Photos

    I have a 450 GB Aperture Library that I am trying to migrate to Photos. The Aperture Library is located on my external hard drive. There I right-clicked on it and chose "open with Photos".
    I tried this 3 times now and it always get stuck at 34% for hours.
    Is anybody else experiencing this problem? Is there a solution?
    Thanks!

    The article does not explain what is imported into PHOTOS if your original IPHOTO library only had the addresses of the pictures not the source vs if you imported the full picture.    That may be where the confusion lies on this issue.
    The article only mentions "links" to the original library. Actually, the "Links" are hard links.
    Instead, Photos saves disk space by creating links to the original and preview versions of your images.
    When Finder reports the file size of your Photos library, it includes all your originals and previews. It may look like your remaining iPhoto or Aperture library is taking up twice the space on your hard drive, but it isn't—your images exist only in one location, even though you may have more than one photo library.
    A hard link is different from the Aliases and symbolic links used for referenced originals.
    A hard links is a duplicate entry in the file table and looks for all purposes like the original file. It will be reported with the same size as the original, but the entry in the file table will reference the same disk blocks as the original.
    There is a big advantage to hard links:  You can delete the original file and the hard link will still work, because the disk space will only be released, when all (hard)links to the  files have been deleted.  So you can safely delete either the original library or the Photos library and your images will not be deleted. The storage will only be freed, when both libraries have been deleted.
    If you migrate a library with referenced images, they will remain referenced like before.

  • Everytime I open Aperture, the main photo appears in black

    Hi
    I don´t really know what I was doing with my aperture but something happened since I started editing some of my photos.
    And everytime I open aperture in the split view, the main photo appear in black&white while the rest of them are fine ( I mean in color)
    How can I fix???

    Your saying that the main image is in B&W but the previews are in color?
    Check that View->Onscreen Proffing is off

  • "To open this iPhoto library in Aperture, it first needs to be upgraded".  Aperture already up to date. still cant open aperture library. please advice

    When I try to open my aperture library, this is the message pop out  " TO OPEN THIS iPHOTO LIBRARY IN APERTURE, IT FIRST NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED. "
    My apperture application is already up to date. no more upgrade available. please advice what to do.

    The update refers to the library not the application. 
    So is this an Aperture library you are trying to open in iPhoto or an iPhoto library you are trying to open in Aperture? You're post is confusing on this point.
    In either case make sure the library is up-to-date in the originating application then the other should open it.
    BTW what version of iPhoto abnd Aperture are you running?
