aperture library not showing in mail, iweb or iphoto

Held down Option+Command while starting. I selected Repair permissions instead of repair or rebuild. Will let you know if it works.

Repairing permissions, repairing database, or rebuilding database did not work.

I have exactly the same problem... tried a few things but so far no luck. I will keep you updated.

I have tried a reinstall of ProKit, Aperture 3.1 update, and iLife 11. I removed the iLife Media Browser plugins from HardDrive/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plugin folder prior to installation. Still no luck.

My Aperture permissions are enabled for Sharing; set to "Always".

Well, I fixed my problem now. I deleted the file "ApertureDatabaseTimestamp" in the folder "iLifeShared" and tried it again - and don't ask me why, but it worked perfectly (without even creating a new file with the same name)...

I had the same exact problem and ScreenSaver app crashed with bad memory access trying to access new Aperture 3.1 library (even touch gestures began working bad after first memory leak)!
After a reboot, I tried your suggestion and I can confirm that all was showing back in the right way.
Even for me a new file was not created in iLifeShared folder.
I could not figure out what had happened until I read your post.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks, deleting this file fixed it for me, too

Same problem here (while it works in iTunes to sync with the Apple TV) but I cant find any ApertureDatabaseTimestamp file nor iLifeShared folder... where are they located ?

Right-click on your Aperture Library - choose Show package content. There it is.

Thx for your answer. Find it, delete it but still no luck 😟
(Previously, I rebuild vignette, preview, database, permission, ...)

Confirmed fix for me as well. Thank you.

Ok, the fix works but every time I launch Aperture, this file reappears (0 Kb size) and the problems comes again.

Ulysse, did you try deleting the ApertureData.xml file as well as the iLifeShared folder? The make s change, like a rating, to force generate the XML info again. These are all sharing files but they all need to be in sync.

Thanks for your help Clem... Anyway, even after deleted the folder and the XML file, if I launch Aperture and then iWeb, it cant see the AP library in iWeb (only a spinning wheel next to "Aperture").
If I delete the folder and the XML file (or only the file in the iLifeShared) without launching Aperture, then everything is ok.
