how can I empty waste basket of aperture

Saekingen,

Someone else asked the same question today. You should look at this thread to see if anything applies:

Hello Saeckingen,

Some more information would help:

• When you move images to your Aperture trash and empty the trash, do these images appear in your system trash?
• When you create a new, empty Aperture library (File -> switch to Library -> Other/New) and import some test images - does the trash work correct for this new library?

The answer to the first question would help to

decide if maybe your system trash has problems, the answer to the second question, if maybe your Aperture Library needs repairing.

Günther,

I do not understand the first part of your post.

I meant the following: If you put an image into the Aperture trash, and then empty the trash in Aperture, the images should appear in the trash basket on your Desktop. If they do not show up there, you may have a permissions problem with your trash in your home folder.

What can you tell me to do? I have time machine and could replace my library by means of an old one. I would loose changes in the existing library.

Before you do that, try to repair your Library using the First Aid: (make sure you have a current backup, before you try that)

• Hold down the Command-⌘ and Option-⌥-Key, while you double click the Aperture Icon: This should bring up the Library First Aid Window:
• Select "Repair Permissions"
• If that does not fix the problem, try again with the second option: "Repair Database", if necessary, the third option.

Report back, if it does not help.

Léonie

You are welcome, Günther.

I am glad you could rescue your Library.

Léonie
