Aperture 3.2.2 is stuck on "loading assets" after I updated

I don't have an overly large library (30gbs) and have left this "update" spinning for a two days now. I have already restarted Aperture and, as of now, it's not functional.

Ideas?

Of possible assistance: I'm using a MBPro, 1.83ghz Intel Core Duo on OSX 10.6.8. This computer is getting to "that age" when I need to consider a replacement (almost 6 years old now!) but it runs every other program well and with no problems, except Aperture. I have been using Aperture for about a year now, with occasional crashes if I'm doing a lot with RAW files, but other than that, it has been great.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

In my case (16Gb Ram) the issue was that I had deleted photos from finder on my SD card but I hadn't "empty trash" so it seems that caused Aperture to hang.. so I cancelled the import process and "empty trash" and then re-tried from Aperture and it worked in 1 sec.

Just adding a 2014 +1 to @Mambirri's answer - I've got 12GB RAM and had left this for hours 'loading assets'. A simple 'Empty Trash' resolved the problem.

I have the same or at least a related problem. Using OS X Yosemite 10.10 and Aperture 3.6 I am unable to import any pictures from the compact flash card of my Canon EOS 300D (also known as Digital Rebel). Aperture says it is Loading assets for Import View, endlessly without any progress (Status remains 0).

I've gone through all of the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting basics - Apple Support except for reinstalling Aperture. Image Capture cannot import the pictures (or even make an overview of the pictures) either.

Others appear to have the same problem:
