    Ignore it, Aperture is probably background processing.

    This is hard to ignore.  Processing has continued on my brand new MacPro for over an hour.  I force quit the app, ran repair permissions on disk utility, and rebooted.  same thing.  running OSX 10.8.1.  Just downloaded Aperture this morning.  Really need it very soon.  Reverting to Photoshop....which I was hoping to replace … on my old mac.

    800 Images shouldn't take much more than an hour.  At the same time, you should _never_ force quit a database.  After any force-quit, you should at the least repair, and consider rebuilding, your database.  See this Apple page for instructions.

     

    Is there anything unusual about those 800 Images?

     

    I suggest repairing your Library, then letting Aperture run unmolested overnight, then reboot and see if the Activity Window reports any processing.  Post back.
