Q: Aperture vault is freezing at 50% when updating!

I really need help on this! My aperture vault only seems to freeze and the progress bar is stuck at about 50%. I have to force quit aperture when this happens. I tried to make a new vault on a noter external disk. It is no help. I have a very powerful iMac. i7 SSD only one year old. Aperture version 3.3. The external disk is formated Mac OS Extended (journalført - norwegian Lion 10.7.4).

This is bothering me very!!!!

Someone!?

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Just updated Aperture

    Hi,

     

    If you have followed all the methods mentioned in "Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US (repair and rebuild etc.) then I would advice to wait and let it work longer. It may seem to get stuck but if you wait (not 5 minutes but 5 or 20 hours) it may go through.

     

    I have already had years issue that taking Vault backup takes tens of hours. I have tried all tricks mentioned in this forum (if you search you should find 20-30 threads about Vault being slow, freezing etc.). Everybody here knows better and says that it should not take that long and will advice you to do this and that, but if you look at those 20-30 threads not even half have resolution for the person who had the issue.

     

    I'm backing up the library instead, from SSD to HD it takes 15 minutes with CCC (block copy including verify), and faster from SSD to SSD. Here is thread I opened to ask if this is OK:
