Q: When I opened Aperture all of my photos are now in the trash? Help!!

1. Open the Trash in Aperture,
2. select all the images at once with cmd-A
3. then ctrl-click and select "Put Back" from the pop-up menu.

And I see this:

What is your Aperture version? I did this with Aperture 3.3.1.

Try, if you see the put back, if you only select a few images, that should be together in the same project.

This looks like you have a corrupted Aperture Library.

I'd suggest to make a backup of your Aperture Library, if you do not have a current backup, and then to use the Aperture Library First Aid Tools to repair the permissions and the library.

To launch Aperture into "First Aid" mode, hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination, while you launch APerture. Then select "Repair Permissions" from the First Aid panel, and also do a "Repair Rermissions".

You are welcome.

I am glad you could rescue your images.    Silly typo in my last post. I take it you did "Repair Library"
