Q: master image offline error

referenced all iPhoto images on iMac internal hard disk into Aperture. All referenced images show Master Image Offline. Cannot reconnect or consolidate because even though iPhoto is on same disk, it says iPhoto library is offline. iPhoto works fine. Why is internal disk shown as offline? How can I have Apeture see iPhoto images?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), LAN w HP Laserjet, PowerBook Pro

A:

Begin with the steps shown in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics specifically the permissions and library repair. If you are still having problems do the preference file move.

Post back if you still have a problem.

Did you continue to use iPhoto to edit those images you referenced into Aperture? Or did you move/rename your iPhoto Library?

A fellow support person suggested rebuilding the database, which solved my problem. Thanks for your assistance.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem, but rebuilding the database (after cmd+opt when starting iphoto) didn't help... When I look in the package of my iphoto library, almost all master files disappeared from the "masters" folder (some remaining projects, that's all). I have my real master files in my Pictures folder but I don't get why iphoto say that my pics are "offline"...
Any idea ?
Ben
