When migrating my Aperture library to Photos, the app crashes after 5% done. I'm stuck there. I tried to repair authorizations in Terminal but no success, Photo crashes after 5% done... Is there a solution? My Aperture library has 43,000 photos.
MacBook Air
My library had 225 Gigs and my MacBook Air had only 160 gigs spare so I moved the Aperture library to my MacMini witch had 700 gigs spare and I repaired permissions in Terminal. Finally, everything went fine. Thank-you so much for your help. It seems that if your Aperture library is located on an external drive, you're heading into problems.
Maybe it's a permission problem? Try this trick: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT209594 . When done, try to repair your home folder permissions. For me, that was THE KEY to resolve my issue. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203538 . I had a 225 Gigs Aperture library that crashed during migration. The diskutil trick resolved my problem.
Hi Normand,
It sounds like you're having trouble migrating your library to Photos, and I want to help.
Which version of macOS are you currently running?
Here are the steps for importing to Photos:
Migrate Aperture libraries to the Photos app or Adobe Lightroom Classic - Apple Support
If it's stopping consistently in the same place it could be the content itself, a particular photo or video, causing the issue.
Let me know more about what's happening and I'll try to help.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
I have this problem too.
~ 36,000 photos in Aperture.
I followed the recommended Apple procedure and created previews of all photos in Aperture after setting preferences to allow high quality previews.
import to Photos crashes consistently at about 74% done.
Have tried about 5 times. most recent try was just after I rebooted iMac to clear out all else going on.
