Where are Aperture Library icons stored?

After installation of Mountain Lion, all Aperture libraries have lost their icons. They are completely blank (clicking where they should be does nothing). Clicking a library name shows a gray area where the icon should be. Get Info shows the icon is blank. I found the Aperture library icon in the contents of the Aperture application so if that is where the icon is stored for libraries, it is not being used. I can paste iPhoto library icons in each of my Aperture libraries but it would be better if the libraries had their own icons back. A newly created library also does not have an icon.

The Aperture  Libraries use a generic icon created by the Finder. This icon depends on the kind of the library and is not stored in the Aperture library package. But if you set a custom icon, you will see a file called "Icon?", when you browse the Aperture Library package from the Terminal, for example:
Listing my Aperture Library "Leuchtfeuer" in the Terminal: This library has a custom icon.
ls -aix ~/Pictures/_ApertureTestLibraries/Leuchttuerme.aplibrary
769261 .                             
5451826..
769262 Aperture.aplib
9311240 ApertureData.xml
769265 Attachments
769266 Database
9330718 Icon?
772295 Info.plist
5445089 Library.data
5445085 Library.iPhoto
5445087 Library6.iPhoto
772296 Masks
772297 Masters   .............
Sometimes the icon will not show, if the custom icon file has the wrong permissions. Then the icon should show again, if you delete the "Icon" file, for example:
      rm ~/Pictures/_ApertureTestLibraries/Leuchttuerme.aplibrary/Icon^M
did reset the icon to the default icon.
To enter the path to the icon file, only type "Ico" and then the tab key for command completion. The filename contains special characters, as you can see by the ^M in the example above.
Since all your libraries have corrupted icons, I'd try to repair the permissions on your Aperture libraries or to repair the libraries, before starting to patch library packages however, see "Repairing and rebuilding your Library"

  • Where are all my photos stored?

    where are all my photoes stored?
    and music btw. I am cleaning my drive and need to back up

    Assuming the default setting, your photos are stored in the iPhoto Library, in your Pictures folder.
    Same assumption with iTunes: The Music folder.

    Syncing -whenever I connect my iPad to my computer it ejects my external hard drive which is where my iTunes library is stored? What's the deal???
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

  • Where are Answers and Dashboards stored?

    If we deliver answers and dashboards to customers and they customize it further, how can they upgrade to next release's dashboard and answers?
    I want to know where are dashboards and answers stored so that we can provide an upgrade script.
    Edited by: user732932 on Nov 17, 2009 10:58 AM

    Hi User,
    If a user creates queries and dashboards they are stored in the Catalog, this is in the OracleBIData>Web>Catalog folder. If you drill down into thsi folder you eventually come to the individual xml files.
    The repository, (.rpd) is in the OraceBI>Server>Repository folder, the two can be maintained independantly. If your customer wants new data sources or tables adding to their RPD, you can merge these changes using the Admin tool, any changes here will not affect existing content in the dashboards, as long as the existing presentation layer is not altered. Assuming they do not maintain the rpd themselves, they could just send you an existing one for you to edit then replace theirs?
    What it sounds liek you are saying though, is that they will have added queries and dashboards to the web catalog, and that you will then add more queries and dashboard pages to a development catalog, in this case it's very easy to copy and paste new files from one catalog to the other using the catalog manager. Ther is no need to touch the actual xml. NEVER copy a new catalog over an existing catalog, if you are replacing the whole catalog, back it up then delete it from the Catalog folder and paste in the new one.
    If you are upgrading the version of OBIEE, none of these items should be affected, make sure you back-up first.
    I hope this clears it up.
    Regards
    Ed

    Very many thanks Niel. My problem solved in less than five minutes. I've never had to use that command before. I found the folder and copied it - but I'm still no clearer as to where it was!
    Thanks again

  • Upgraded to Lion - where are the Library & Application Support folders ?

    Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

    They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

  • Aperture Library Icon gone

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 on three different computers.  On two computers the Aperture Icon shows up on the library files properly but on a third iMac, the Aperture Library icon appears as a generic text icon.  The files open in Aperture 3.6 ok, just the file icon is missing.
    Suggestions

    I found this to repair MS office document missing icons.
    Is this worth trying?
    1. Close all running applications
    2. Open Terminal and type the following command
    sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/com.apple.iconservices.store
    3. Terminal should prompt.  Type admin password and hit return
    4. Reboot Mac

  • Where are all the settings stored?

    When working with Data Modeler users can setup a couple of preferences.
    E.g. windows size and position on desktop but others as well.
    Where are all these settings stored?
    Is it a file or in Win Registry?
    How can I backup these (current) settings?
    In addition I want to copy them onto another Data Modeler installation on another computer and use them over there as well.
    Do 32bit and 64bit version access the same settings values?
    Thank you
    Peter
    Edited by: user559463 on Nov 7, 2012 11:48 PM

    Hi,
    In Tools -> Preferences->Data Modeler there are import/export buttons.
    Use export to create file and import it on another computer.

    Where are radio program downloads stored on the iPad?

    I am lost.  I don't even see the reply tab to answer I hope this continues the conversation..  I frequently listen to radio talk shows that have already been broadcast.  I have the option of listen or
    download.  The first option doesn't work so I always click on download.  I assume the downloads are piling up so I wanted to delete them but I can't find them stored anywhere on my iPad. Where are they?
