Photo Projects in Aperture Have Disappeared after upgrading to Aperture 3.2.1

I am running Aperture 3.2.1 on a MacBookPro 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4GB RAM. The machine was purchased in November 2010. I have no idea what has caused this and can only guess that it was caused by the software update. I can only view 1 album that had about 12 photos and now only has 3.

I had also created several smart albums that have disappeared.

I have never been able to figure out a similar problem of projects disappearing on my G5 mac using Aperture 1.5. However, in the case of the G5, I can still see the photos in the library but not in the named project.

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.6.8), missing, lost projects

Are you sure you have opened your original library? If you launch Aperture holding down the option key, you should be able to see all the libraries on your system.

I can't believe the solution was that simple! I was in a different library that I may have created intially. You have saved me from dispair. Thank you.

I also lost all the projects in my library. (I'm running 3.2.2) I followed your advice and found the missing projects. Now I'd like to know why Aperture decided to start up a new library. I don't recall creating one.
