Locating Aperture Library Folders

Hello,

I recently imported images that were in regular mac folders to the Aperture library.

Most of the images that were connected to the folder (which I deleted after importing) appear OFFLINE. When I try to reconnect using the tool, the Aperture Library (where these photos are now) does not appear in the reconnect box as an option.

So,

How can I connect these images when the Aperture Library doesn't show up as an option to find images within?

Thank you!

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.0.x)

If they are offline, then Aperture is referencing them (in the Mac folder system), they have not been imported into the Aperture "database". Aperture is telling you that wherever they are in the folder system, it cannot find them. You mention that you deleted the folder that originally contained the photos. I suspect that's why Aperture can't find them.

But... you say "most" of the images are Offline - are there some that were also in the same folder as the "offline" ones actually appearing?
