Have you run Aperture on the library since you moved it? The library location gets written to the Aperture plist file and if you haven't run Aperture since you moved the library the plist file will still be pointing to the old location.

Jan 23, 2012 5:01 AM in response to williamfromsaratogaby Mr Endo,William,
Did you move all your photos to the external drive, or your library to the external drive, or both?
I have started wondering if photo sharing works if the source of the photo is an external drive. I.e., what will iTunes do if you try to sync and your library is not accessible, because you stored it on an external drive and it is not plugged in? Will it remove all of the Aperture photos from your iPad, since the source of the photos (Aperture library) is effectively empty, since it is missing? Maybe iTunes takes that into account and just ignored libraries that are not local.
Can you see Aperture library in other application using a media browser, like Desktop & Screen Saver or iPhoto (browse Apertuer library)?

Mar 28, 2012 7:20 AM in response to williamfromsaratogaby CanUCMeNow,The same thing happened to me. I recently movedf my Aperture library to an external hard drive. I opened up Aperture to test the external drive library. Then I created a new project, added photos to it and then try to sync it to my iPad. While the Photos tab in iTunes shows the new project, but it reads zero photos.
What I did to fix this was to locate the aperture plist file in ~/Library/Preferences/com.appl.Aperture.plist and delete it.
Then re-launch Aperture. It will then create a new library in the default location. Then go to Preferenes and change the location of the library on your external hard drive. Quit and relaunch iTunes and now new photos added to Aperture should appear.

Worked like a charm for me, thanks!
